On Death, Without Exaggeration
It can’t take a joke,
find a star, make a bridge.
It knows nothing about weaving, mining, farming,
building ships, or baking cakes.
In our planning for tomorrow,
it has the final word,
which is always beside the point.
It can’t even get the things done
that are part of its trade:
dig a grave,
make a coffin,
clean up after itself.

The smooth voiced, groundbreaking host that put the soul in “Soul Train” and brought funk and soul into the living rooms of millions of Americans, including suburban white kids like me, apparently ended his own life. RIP Mr. Cornelius

Last night Gingrich separated himself from the field, and not in a good way. His tone deaf suggestion of creating a colony on the moon when unemployment is so high, America’s infrastructure is crumbling, national debt is growing at an unsustainable rate and half of Florida’s mortgages are under foreclosure was just plain looney.

In last nights debate, Newt let Romney’s calling him an “influence peddler” go unchallenged. Today I challenged myself to draw a very small Newt. Just some dots and dashes illustrate Newt’s transparent, new, front runner, above the fray, presidential persona.

If he didn’t have money, I guarantee the hurdle would be much higher. Let’s face it, no one on the stage, regardless of party, feels your pain. They’re all in the 1%.

Yesterday Paula Dean admitted on the Today Show that she was diagnosed three years ago with type 2 diabetes. Type 2 can be controlled or prevented with proper diet and exercise, but over those same three years Deen has promoted and profited from unhealthy eating through the broadcasting of her television show and the publishing of three cook books. Why is she admitting it now? Has she seen the light? Will she promote healthy eating? Not on your life y’all. Deen plans to parlay this culture of gluttony into more profits by teaming with a diabetes drug manufacturer to help y’all have your deep fried cake and eat it too.

Well, one word and one acronym. Mitt spent $1.47 million of campaign funds in Iowa and Super Political Action Committees another $4.5 million on negative ads against his nearest rival, Newt Gingrich (who was hoisted by his own petard). That was enough to eke out an eight vote victory over second place finisher Santorum, who spent a mere $21 thousand.

This story peaked my interest this morning. I thought that academic philosophy and religious belief were mutually exclusive. At least it seemed that way when I studied Philosophy in college with the great Paul Edwards. But Alvin Plantinga has written a new book called “Where the Conflict Really Lies: Science, Religion and Naturalism.” where the unapologetic theist argues against atheism.

A New Book.
A few years back I read with great interest the posts at Today’s Inspiration highlighting illustrator, Andy Virgil. Mr. Virgil was a fantastic painter but what originally peaked my interest was that he was painting book covers for Silhouette Romance in the twilight of his career. He passed away in 1980 when I was still an art student. Two years later I started my career painting for the same line of books. But back to Mr. Buckley, Mr. Virgil painted … Continue Reading
