Day 6…I think

March 31, 2007 | 4 Comments

The current, rather pathetic, British response to the kidnapping of 15 of their navy personal - the ship’s “people” in a happier time - is so lackadaisical that I honestly cannot say when the people were kidnapped.
I’m all for diplomacy. It is a good thing and allows nations to deal with the idiocy of small […]

The Delight of the Commons

One of the greater pleasures of Victoria is a blustery day at the beach in the company of my little boys. The wind howls, we climb rocks and count waves and find sea glass. For two hours we did this and then it was time to leave. We climbed the cliff and there, free for […]

Dumont!

March 27, 2007 | 1 Comment

On this night, Mr. Dumont’s party shook the traditional two-party system. ADQ, which had a slim five seats at dissolution, had jumped to 40. The party saw its popular support soar about 12 percentage points from the last election.

and produces the second part of his response to our earlier conversation. It is a sweeping document and one which anyone the least interested in the origins of the dispute between the so called “traditionalist” wing of the Anglican Church and the modernist side of the Church arises.
It will take me several days to fully […]

On Nitpicking

March 25, 2007 | 2 Comments

As I await the swift kick to the goolies promised by the admirable, if tardy, Edward Michael George I cannot help but throw in a quick head butt from the mat on this rather delightful Ignoratio elenchi Mr. George attempts to foist on his adoring public.
Take this business of “the simplest invocation of love” overriding […]

Further to Mr. George

March 24, 2007 | 1 Comment

Franz Rosenzweig, that most Jewish connoisseur of Christianity, believed that the Church of Peter (Rome) and the Church of Paul (Protestantism) would yield place to the Church of John (Orthodoxy) - that the churches of works and faith would be transcended by the church of love. If Europe has a future, it lies in an […]

Harper’s idea of just giving money to parents to do with as they please is nothing but a shirking of responsibility as a democratically elected government to ensure that our tax dollars are spent properly. jason cherniak

For my two readers who have been following Edward Michael George’s and my conversation about Anglicanism Nominal and otherwise I urge you to thunder over to Mr. George’s site where he is in the midst of smacking your host smartly about the ears and upper body.
