Is there a PO Box to send donations too, or just online?

2 Mad Prophet Ludwig  Mon, Jul 19, 2010 11:00:24am

I really wish I were rich. If I were, I would send you thousands. I think you provide a vital service.

I completely agree with the above!

Buy the cookbook, everyone!

Yes, if you click that big button over there in the left sidebar that says “Shop at Amazon as an LGF Associate,” we get referral fees on anything you buy.

It’s all a sham.

The Israelis didn’t allow a gun shop franchise to open. The Palestinians are undergoing unimaginable suffering.

Alouette,

Good news BTW… My family will most likely be purchasing a kiddush cup through zionist mall.

We have (my sister’s) an imminently arriving little boy.

Friend of mine said her favorite picture is of the women in face-veils checking out the beauty salon.

Please note: until a few years ago, I had NEVER seen a Palestinian woman cover her face, not even in nineteenth-century photographs of the region.

This is newfangled Hamas stuff.

16 Ebetty  Mon, Jul 19, 2010 11:17:05am

Totally OT: Signed all the paperwork, it’s official. My old boss is outta here and she signed over the business to me. Went to the bank, changed everything into my name. She didn’t take a dime out. She literally walked away from everything. I am so lucky/blessed/whatever the right word is.

Time for my first conference call as the Principal. YAY!

It’s true. The niqab has only been an issue since the 70’s in Saudi Arabia.

It might be real but I suspect it’s one of the evangelical preacher things. He’s going to ask his followers to pray or donate money and he’ll end up being cured by god or something.

I shouldn’t laugh, if something really is the matter with him, that’s a pity. But since I don’t believe anything that comes out of his mouth without independent verification anyway, this seems like a set-up for a miracle cure, either religious or free-market in nature.

Which is pointless, since there is nothing in Obama’s health plan that will prevent him from having the best doctors in the world look at his eyes.

I think Beck is just this side of claiming to be the second coming of Jesus. I think he’s aaaaaaalmost crazy enough.

Glenn Beck’s ‘Social Justice’ Heresies

It’s impossible to discuss the history of the social justice movement without bringing in the father of the social gospel, the theologian Walter Rauschenbusch. But while Beck and Barton ignore Rauschenbusch, Beck does bring up Father Coughlin—to whom Beck owes a debt for his invention of hate radio—because Coughlin, at one time a supporter of the New Deal, changed course and supported fascism and authoritarianism. In the hall of mirrors that houses Beck’s history that means that social justice=fascism.

Conservatives face a serious challenge from Beck, however: as the panelists at the social justice session at the Freedom Federation Summit admitted, millenial evangelicals are interested in helping the poor, and not as interested in combatting gay marriage. But if they believe from Beck that Jesus’ exhortations to help the poor are actually godless communism, where does that leave them?

That’s why conservatives want Beck to acknowledge that, as Lou Engle put it, “Jesus is justice.” For Engle, the government is evil (he’s asserted that “prostitution in America is fueled out of the foster care system”) and that “this is where the church becomes the outrageous lover”; meaning, in Engle’s parlance, that churches should adopt children in order to supplant the government-run foster care system, which does nothing but promote prostitution, while the church provides love. If megachurches “adopted children,” he insisted, “we would be the answer and we would get moral authority in this nation.”

The anti-government worldview of the Liberty audience was exemplified by the question: “how do Christians do social justice without abdicating authority to the civil magistrate?” Translation from Christian Reconstructionist-speak: God granted the government limited authority and we don’t want to slip up and give it any more. (Messmore termed it a “good question” about “[how] we as Christians engage with government, without abdicating authority God has given the church exclusively.”)

Religious liberals who protest Beck’s theological heresies would do well to recognize the dangers of his other heresies as well. It’s not enough to defend the Bible from Glenn Beck; liberals will also need to defend the role of government in creating a social safety net and a regulatory structure that protects and enhances the economic lives of its citizens. While Beck has his conservative critics, they do agree on one thing: government is evil. Unless religious liberals defend the role of government, they provide an opening for Beck and his crew to redefine social justice to mean conservative Christianity is our government by proxy.

Scientists baffled by unusual upper atmosphere shrinkage

RWC, DF and others were wondering about it earlier…it sounds ominous.

I don’t know if it is ominous or not. Solar activity, which was at a low for the past several years contributes to this shrinkage, as does CO2 concentration. However those two things have exceeded the parameters of the models. This is not the first, nor will it be the last case of mother nature being much more violent than the very conservative modeling would indicate. If there is something ominous to take from this, then take away that each year, as more data comes in, the models are consistently too optimistic as to worst case deviations. In other words, it is consistently worse than we feared from the modelling.

These things in the thermosphere are pretty well understood to first order. They have to be because of the interactions with satellites. A shrinkage that is more pronounced than accounted for is not surprising to someone in the business. As I said, the models are consistently soft. This sort of thing makes me think feedback loop. Exactly what that feedback loop is however, is unclear.

The models of what is going on at those altitudes do not take a number of concerns from AGW into account. Most notably, we do not know all of the interactions of CO2 and methane at those heights. It seems likely to me that the answer will come from something like that because, that is the only parameter to have really changed. Exactly how this changed things in terms of what will almost certainly turn out to be a complicated and multi staged feedback mechanism will take some time to unravel.
