The Quote of the Day
From the Harvard Crimson, via IvyGate: The Macintosh computer is the emasculated plaything of the effete, limp-wristed parlor liberals who have too much money and too little sense.

Law School
My roommate from third year texted me early this morning telling me to pick up a copy of the WSJ as there was an article on law school debt. Very thoughtful of him, but all my friends in law school now have been telling me the exact same thing since last Fall. On a half [...]

Tyranny of the Moderates
Ever wonder what happens when the theories behind social leveling turn to politics? Here’s a hint. There’s seems to be a unique trend in current American politics: whereas, at one time both parties were based on the further ends of their respective spectrums and fought over the middle ground, the “moderate” voters, now both parties [...]

Am I anti-establishment?
Much like some of my protestant sympathies, my feelings on politics often take a do-it-yourself approach. That is to say, I’ve always felt that real reform takes place among the people, in communities, not in legislative halls. Rod Dreher again adds to this position in a post today: At the Berry conference, I gave a [...]

Granted, one shouldn’t take that as an implication they were ever impressive during my four years at [...]

“Finding Time”
A friend of mine emailed this article to me this evening: Finding Time.

Chicago Surreality
One of the <sarcasm>pleasures</sarcasm> of working downtown is the periodic display of various protests which pass beneath my office window. This afternoon’s was surreal. It was a puny handful of protesters with a big banner that read, “STOP POLICE TERROR.” And, you guessed it, they were being escorted by Chicago Police officers. In fact, there [...]

The True View
As some of you are aware, I’ve recently made it my project for the next year to type up and edit a book my grandfather wrote, but never finished. The book, titled the same as this post, is a commentary and exegesis of the Bible, going book by book, Genesis to Revelations. Before this is [...]
