- Mapsco can't possibly still be in business, can it?
- A screenshot of a Liberally Lean post made Fox 4 last night in a story about the poor-spelling-lawyer-in-the-appellate-brief. (It was voiced over by how that news was all over the "blogosphere.") Unfortunately, my masthead didn't make it. Lari Barager has turned on me once again.
- There sure are a lot of rumblings that Oklahoma and the Aggies are really upset ever since UT signed a deal with ESPN to create the Longhorn Network. I'm not sure the Big 12 will still be in existence in three years.
- Me to Mrs. LL last night as she walked by: "Love me?" Mrs. LL: "Usually." Wait. What? (It was followed by a laugh. Funny. I think.)
- Sean Hannity sure is mad at Republicans for slowly backing down on the Debt Ceiling Crisis. But I'll give him credit for calling them on the carpet when he gets them on his program.
- Hal Jay and WBAP staff were laughing about a report in San Francisco of an electronic construction warning sign being hacked to warn of zombies. They wondered if such a thing would ever happen here. Note: The same thing happened in Austin two years ago.
- The Rangers scored eight runs last night but had their 12 game winning streak come to an end. Have I told you how it is all about pitching?

- Baylor says that daily Bible reading makes you more liberal (or at least more interested in "social justice.") Kidding aside, that makes perfect sense.
- American Airlines has lost $4 billion since 2007 so it just ordered 460 new planes at an estimated cost of $36 billion. That doesn't make perfect sense.
- The BagOfNothing guy posted a clip of Bono and The Edge signing while sitting next to David Letterman. I finally watched it but became irritated when the audience-clap-along started which I hate even more that The Wave. However, I think Bono hated it too because he got The Edge to change the beat until it stopped. (2:35 mark.)

Much better today on the pic. I thought you turned gay yesterday.
I have a couple of beach balls she can play with.
You do realize that during Texas' 12-game winning streak, they either shut out their opponent or allowed only one run in 7 of them. Are you suggesting they only win through offense??
Oh Yea! Better pic today.
"Baylor says that daily Bible reading makes you more liberal"
And yet the hate continues from certain people proclaiming to be believers.
I continue to pray for them.
Robert L. Crandall, former CEO of American Airlines, used to say, "If you want to make a small fortune in the airline business, start with a large one." That's probably the oldest joke in the business.
The Longhorn Network could be a genius move but the execution has the potential to be very dodgy. What happens when a Jim Tressel - tOSU scenario blows up? If The Longhorn Network is Pravda for UT Athletics, how can they possibly pursue the story in a balanced manner? Look at how The Worldwide Leader has effed up the Tech - Mike Leach conundrum. They're a bunch a of no-hopers in the credibility department.
Bible reading may make you more liberal, but in serious bible study, you will find many statements that are counter to the idea of "social justice". The Apostle Paul talks at length about who the church should support and who should support themselves. Jesus said we should help the poor, but I have not found any statement that indicated he advocated Caesar being involved. In fact, he separated the two altogether when he said "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's, and unto God what is God's.".
Govt. redistribution of wealth is not supported in Biblical scripture, neither in the Old nor New Testaments.
Re: Longhorn Network
I knew this would add to the penis envy that the Sooners and Aggies have towards UT as soon as the plans for the network were announced. But moving to the SEC would not be in their best interests - especially for the Aggies who would be lucky to make it to the the Music City Bowl in that conference. Face it - going forward, there are gonna be ultra-rich, ultra-successful programs like Texas that will play in the best bowl games, make the most money, etc. - all the rest of us will be compete at a second- or third-tier level.
Two of your best thoughts ever.
1. Jesus would be a Democrat. Republicans: Pontius Pilate.
2. The space program? Get rid of it. I keep praying that the tea baggers will take it up as one of their crusades.
Rage
here we go with the local team bashing. The Rangers lose one game and all of a sudden they suck right? Didn't you learn anything from your ignorant MAVS prediction green?

My new babe is moving to Texas (where I've been hiding in the afterlife).
PS - Mr.LL much better babe pic today. Although I'd still do the two from yesterday.
G. Maximus may prove Father OMalley's point...
Sooo...did you highlight just the tips, or go with the streak thingy?
Why would there need to be a warning in Austin about zombies? They're very accepting of alternative lifestyles there, you know. Undead lifestyles, even...
Okay, okay...pitching IS important, but like I said yesterday, if you don't have the offense to back it up you won't win many games with just pitching.
I think it's a good idea to lose one every dozen or so games - let's go with that plan. Reduces the amount of ridiculosity from the streak-obsessed media
It's bad enough when you get some guy who accidentally falls over a railing and dies. Now we've got the triplets of moronic intentional rail-jumping. "Hey college geniuses (genii?), that railing's not just for decoration. Congratulations on defeating it's intended purpose. If there's any justice in the afterlife, that fireman is wearing your a$$es out!"
"Money pit?" of the shuttle program? yes exploring the world outside our own can be costly in terms of cash and lives but I'd much rather see my tax dollars go to fund space exploration than bail out irresponsible big business. Its the human nature to explore and be curious and every American should be embarrased that we are dependant on the RUSSIANS to get our folks back and forth to the ISS. I worked on a replacement craft for the shuttle 10 years ago that congress scrapped for funding. Space exploration should be a top priority not just something we'll eventually get around to.
Skippy, You never answered the seperation of church and state question.
I would like to digitally probe somebody's wife.
If NASA is seen as a money pit by the liberal weenies, then if Rage means he wants the Conservatives to take it up as a cause(I always have to parse his words with my Joe Biden decoder ring) to gut it, then of course they would take the opposite view and fight to keep it. Do you see how hypocritical the weenies are?
The interpretations of the Baylor study are interesting. A detailed definition of "social justice" ought to be part of the discussion. One article says that Franzen's findings were consistent with past studies: "data from the 1996 Religious Identity and Influence Survey suggested that, contrary to "conventional wisdom," conservative Protestants were among the most generous Christians in giving to the poor." As I've referenced many times before, caring for the less fortunate is part of the Conservative Christian ideology. The phrase "social justice" implies supporting government redistribution of wealth. Not the same thing. (P.S. I love how such discussions transform religion-hating Liberals into Biblical scholars. Suddenly they know more about Jesus than Christians who study their religion on a regular basis.)
Look, I realize that this is not a great forum for a religious discussion, but please point out the hate in my previous post. I simply state that I don't find any support for the govt. taking away from some and giving to others in the Bible. Nothing even close to that concept is a teaching of Jesus recorded there. One of God's Top Ten List is to not covet our neighbor's possessions.
I do find that the central theme of the New Testament is advocating love of all of our fellow humankind. Jesus instructed us to help those less fortunate than ourselves. I don't follow how you travel from those concepts and arrive at the conclusion that the Bible teaches that it is right to take, literally at gunpoint, from those that produce, to support those who make little or no effort to support themselves. We have again legalized slavery, but this time around it is only part-time.
"Two of your best thoughts ever.
1. Jesus would be a Democrat. Republicans: Pontius Pilate."
Nice try but his thought didn't stretch to that extreme. I seriously doubt Jesus would favor the two-party system. As much as liberals claim it to be, they do not corner the market on social justice. Only thing this article proves is that regular readers become more compassionate, something both libs and cons should strive for.
Just another example of liberal educators muddying the water at Christian Universities.
Rick Perry has scheduled a day of prayer and fasting. I just learned that hungry prayers are louder...
Just curious: How did coveting and killing get on the same list?
"Poor in America"
As scholar James Q. Wilson has stated, “The poorest Americans today live a better life than all but the richest persons a hundred years ago.”[3] In 2005, the typical household defined as poor by the government had a car and air conditioning. For entertainment, the household had two color televisions, cable or satellite TV, a DVD player, and a VCR. If there were children, especially boys, in the home, the family had a game system, such as an Xbox or a PlayStation.[4] In the kitchen, the household had a refrigerator, an oven and stove, and a microwave. Other household conveniences included a clothes washer, clothes dryer, ceiling fans, a cordless phone, and a coffee maker.

The Devil will definitely prove Father Omalley's point.
"Baylor says that daily Bible reading makes you more liberal . . . "
C'mon Mz. You're not likely to get a hanging curve ball like this for a long time . . .
Okay! Okay! Only because Gary asked sooo nicely.
I completely understand how Baylor would draw the conclusion that daily Bible readings make people more liberal. Typically, liberals and rabid Christians have the same arrogant, self-righteous belief that their way is the only right way.
It has been posited that the less intellect a person has the more inclined they are to ascribe to religion, thus, another perfect correlation between why religious folk tend to adopt liberal attitudes.

It is back to the beach in Maine, for me. Enjoy the Texas heatwave of 2011.
TaTaForNow!
It is a money pit when you're nation is $14.3 trillion in debt. Middle east wars (~$1.2 trillion)are another examples of money pits.
As far as bailing out big business, anyone with a pension, IRA, 401(k) any other retirement better be damn glad there was a bank bailout. The market tanked enough (Dow down 500 points) on the news that one investment bank that wasn't bailed out (Lehman).
AA is sAAtan! They are cooking the books!
I'm curious what age group the Baylor study was based on.
I notice more and more that most Liberals tend to be in their 20's and 30's.
Well the space program didn't cause the debt, yet thousands of people are set to lose thier jobs because no one had the foresight to see that this travesty didn't occur.Its not just people who work at NASA but support personnel, small contractors and all the businesses that count on those folks. The government sure wouldn't bail any of us out if we got in a financial bind. I just see it as shortsighted.
Robert Crandall will fix the debt ceiling.
Mz, quit using commas where they don't belong.
"It is back to the beach in Maine, for me."

But since it's not, you're happy to supply your own biased meaning.
Stop being dishonest.

Try and keep up here--Democrats want better education and healthcare. Republicans could care less if the poor get either.
Only thing this article proves is that regular readers become more compassionate, something both libs and cons should strive for.
Now you're getting there! Now tell me, which group is more compassionate, and which is acting like giving health care to the poor is akin to worshiping Satan.
Typically, liberals and rabid Christians have the same arrogant, self-righteous belief that their way is the only right way.
Yet you claim to be neither. Looks like you'll have to expand that venn diagram to include your own special brand of ignorance.
Rage
Rage....you are a psuedo-intellectual, condescening pr**k. Please try to fall out of love with the sound of your own voice.
The poor already get FREE healthcare on the backs of the taxpayers.
Do some research.
Rage, Your definintion of "social justice" is exaclty that, yours! I have never considered enabling people to exist their entire life on welfare and government housing, healthcare and other handouts as "social justice". Why do the Democrats want to keep people in this situation....for votes of course. Repubs prefer to cut the cord, and put the able bodied back to work.
Democrats do not want better education, they want access to better education for those who are not willing to work for it, or pay taxes to the government so that the education system can be improved. Bottom line is they want to make something avaible for free to those unwilling to work for it, by taking it away from those who are willing.
Healthcare was always avaible to the indigent prior to healthcare reform; this is a little nugget that everyone seems to forget. It is widely known that Republicans do far more in their communities to help those in need, and they do it without the government dime. Dems just want big brother to mandate "compassion" so we feel good about ourselves. On an individual level, most Dems would not lift a finger for someone in need.
Amen to da Debil!
Hey, wait a minute, Amen and Debil in the same sentence?
I'm going to hell aren't I?
Rage, Please try not to expound on every subject you disagree with. It is causing my Joe Biden decoder ring to overheat.
Rage, Your definintion of "social justice" is exaclty that, yours!
Funny, I don't recall having given it any definition whatsoever.
Healthcare was always avaible to the indigent prior to healthcare reform; this is a little nugget that everyone seems to forget.
Cancel your insurance, get cancer or a heart condition, and try to go to an emergency room for treatment. Then tell me how available health care is for you.
Please let me know where to send your condolences after you're dead--which will happen in short order.
It is widely known that Republicans do far more in their communities to help those in need, and they do it without the government dime.

Not at all. We just know that the free market won't do it.

Religious Conservatives give more. At all levels, with cash, time, even blood. (Yes, it's a right wing website -- but you'll never see the results of this study in the Liberal blogosphere.)
This issue has been discussed in this space for years. The Liberals always lose. Reality smites them.
I'm hungry.. maybe I can get off a quick prayer before dinner.
For 1:04.The space program does not creat any thin that contributs to the G N P .So I don't care if they junk it all.My generatation got by just fine with Sky King for a hell of lot lessthan the space program trying to show the world who's best.Now we know because we are now hitch hiking with Russia.It ,the space program is just one more reason we're broke.
10:26, Sky King? Really? By your train of thought he should have been happy with a horse and not flown a plane. Cowboys had been fine with horses for years, why did he need a plane, more expensive not as reliable, etc. And the space program isn't why we're broke, it accounts for less than 1% of the total budget. You go tell all the folks that are about to be unemployed that they don't contribute to the GNP.
Rage, it is obvious from your above commentary on social justice what your definition is, so yes you did define it!
I know a gentlemen right now that is getting treatment for cancer who has no insurance, just went to the indigent health care office and filled out forms (began prior to Obamacare). His care has been so good that he is currently in remission. Of course he still has bills, but guess what, people in our community have raised enough money to cover over half of what he owes. Here is the real kicker, he is hispanic, and only recently(8 years ago) became a legal citizen. I think that covers your [citations needed]!
