Musings on the Debates

Tonight a friend and I were discussing the recent presidential debates. When I hear the word debate, I want something with meat and potatoes, a sparring contest of substance rather than accusations hurled back and forth between candidates. It’s the difference between watching a serious martial arts event and an emotional slapping contest. One is a […]

In Case of Emergencies…

The Tokitae?

Animal lovers and other people of compassion, we have a very narrow window of time to contact the Washington State Transportation Commission in support of the proposal to name a new ferry Tokitae.

Get Yourself…

..back to church. That’s the mantra in this hilarious video by the pastors at Gold Creek Community Church in Mill Creek, Washington. The Herald just wrote a feature on this and its controversial rap star lifestyle content. Love it or hate it— some detractors have questioned if this is the appropriate way to present the […]
