More American Jesus

Tuesday, January 18th, 2005

I hope you caught the Daily Show tonight for a look at what I wish more blowhard moralists would be like. An evangelical Christian, Jim Wallis, was on promoting his book “God’s Politics : Why the Right Gets It Wrong and the Left Doesn’t Get It” which sounds like an excellent read. He asks the [...]

Go Pats!

Sunday, January 16th, 2005

You wouldn’t be able to tell by reading aC4H lately, but I am really excited about today’s Pats/Colts game. And part of that excitement is fear. This game’s going to be tough, and I don’t know what to expect at all. Let’s just hope that Bill Belichick has been current on the rent for that [...]

I Don’t Understand

Friday, January 14th, 2005

What makes someone make a non-constructive, misspelled and pointless comment on a ten month old blog entry?
I mean, really? I think that’s even worse than the garbage that piled up in this post.

I’m taking over Bil.com

Tuesday, January 11th, 2005

and the first order of business is to declare:
I LOVE CRANSTON!
First, the infamous crossing guards are history.
Next, in true Cranston union-ass-licking-style, we’re selling a school to the Laborers International Union of North America.
And if thats not enough to convince you that Cranston is clearly the most respectable community in Rhode Island…
A Cranston school committee member [...]

Read Your Own Links, Bil

Wednesday, January 5th, 2005

Oops, sorry. If I read the second link to the Ayn Rand Institute in the previous post, I would have noticed that it had nothing to do with foreign aid or disaster relief at all. I assume Mr. Sucher meant to link the same article I did. I guess no one here noticed either, which [...]

Mix Tape

Alright, who wants to do this with me? So much fun, fun, fun.

Let the Free Market Feed the Indonesians

Wednesday, January 5th, 2005

As David Sucher, of the linkable-if-only-the-urblog-survived-host-transfer(-and-neglect) City Comforts Blog, so aptly noted, this is “why libertarians have little political impact:”
Don’t send tax dollars to help tsunami victims…
Every dollar that the government hands out as foreign aid has to be extorted from an American taxpayer first. Year after year, for decades, the government has forced American [...]

Obviously They Didn’t Read the Title Bar

Monday, January 3rd, 2005

Via the for-some-reason-never-linked-here Woneffe blog, Providence Monthly has written up a trio of Rhody weblogs. Guess which Cry for Help wasn’t there? That’s right, this Cry for Help.
What part of “Rhode Island’s premier blog destination” do people not understand?! Just because I pretty much took the last month off?!
Oh well. If I wanted fame and [...]

Followups

Monday, January 3rd, 2005

Bill Reynolds style:
The Pats just went 14-2 the year after winning the Superbowl. That’s pretty incredible. I can actually feel myself becoming spoiled rotten with New England’s incredible sporting run (even the Bruins are tied for first! (I’m not a big hockey fan)). Belichick’s boys are two wins away from another trip to the big [...]

This is More Like It

Monday, January 3rd, 2005

Since I blasted him the other day, let me take a second to applaud the president for now making a serious commitment to aiding tsunami victims. And putting Presidents Bush Sr. and Big Dog on point is exactly the sort of symbolic “gesture” that I said was so important (especially compared to clearing brush).
On the [...]
