All this incessant blogging about politics, spiritual and secular, is just camouflage: I don’t really have anything that I can blog about that’s all that interesting, aside from several very personal family topics. Well, rather than maintain complete radio silence (and rely too much on sources other than myself) I’ll try to tactfully refer to some of the things that are REALLY on my mind (and not on the diversions I find on the Internets Tubes). Tomorrow, we’ll be spending much of the day at a nearby hospital, lending support to a much-loved family member who is undergoing surgery. AGAIN.…

Nolbert Kunonga, deposed bishop of Harare in Zimbabwe, is notoriously known as the “Bad Bishop” around here. He’s been embroiled in a dispute with his diocese where he’s currently squatting in possession of the cathedral, and refusing to allow worshipers, priests, and the acting bishop access. He commented recently in an interview: “The cannons(sic) are clear on the issue of homosexuality. We are not doing anything new, but we have joined other dioceses elsewhere that have rejected homosexuality and decided to break away from their provinces. “If they do not see anything bad in homosexuality then for us there is…

Here are a few items I ran across the other day… yeah, I blog about this stuff too much, while I mull over real-world blogfodder. I am in some ways coming around to the point of view expressed by a Canadian columnist: Sin of hypocrisy I suppose I should be charitable to those who are splitting my church but that’s too much to ask. There isn’t, I daresay, a single one of them who is without sin — many of whom, like divorced persons, are ongoing sinners. These defectors are hypocrites. Their sin is OK but the conduct of gays,…

This guy seems to think he’s got the traffic problem figured out -Â just fly his private plane over it and land on any convenient flat, open area… like a local golf course. We should think about this the next time we go to a show at the Marriott Lincolnshire, it’s always a mess getting in and out of there on show night, and parking is a bitch! I give this guy half a point for ingenuity, half a point for putting the plane down on a course called “Crane’s Landing,” but negative twelve points for lack of smarts. He’s an…

People died in a religion-fired massacre in a Nigerian town named Yelwa in 2004. Bishop Akinola may have sanctioned it, approved it, condoned it, or lent some measure of support – or may have known nothing at all about it until after the fact. Which is it? He has no comment. Which is a strangely defensive response, if you ask me. And this is the gentleman who would save world Anglicanism from the evils of American inclusivity: Father Jake Stops the World: Abp. Akinola; What Was Your Involvement in the Massacre of Yelwa? ……Two months after the church was razed,…

I was checking out various cat litter systems when I ran across this gem in an old thread at Metafilter: Best cat litter system | Ask Metafilter One of the most important factors in cat poop management (cpm) is the type of food that you feed your cat. If you feed your cat dry food, the cat will have hard firm poop (hfp). If you feed your cat wet food, it is more likely to have messy squishy poop (msp). Msp smells a lot more than hfp, and it is much harder to scoop.If you want to practice six sigma…
