BP's Photoshopped Images

BP has been outed for faking some of the photos they’ve released to the press showing their response to the oil spill crisis. They claim the photos have merely been “enhanced” to better communicate what’s going on. Any junior high kid in America can photoshop better than these guys. One of the images below is BP’s actual photo. I was inspired to post a few...

This Was Their Finest Hour

Seventy years ago today Sir Winston Churchill delivered an oratory masterpiece to the House of Commons that inspired Britain to fight on in spite of a German-occumpied France. In it he uttered these inspiring words Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this Island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free and the life of the world may move forward into broad,...

The Word Was Made Flesh

Apparently House Speaker Nancy Pelosi believes that her policy decisions are an expression of her faith in “The Word” and that she is accountable in this life and the next to “it.” AND that “It will come again. It will come again.” To be honest this caught me off guard. The common podium routine includes liberal politician after liberal politician after...

Abortion IS the Wedge Issue

This morning I was discussing the current state of the Health Care Bill with Lou Engle and how the abortion issue is taking over all the headlines today. You can sense that lawmakers are unnerved by how the abortion issue demands to be dealt with right now. One commentator made it vivid and clear saying you can’t split the baby — you either win or you lose on this. As Lou and I were...

Good Creative Always Wins

You’ve probably already seen this since it’s making the viral rounds this week. Ok Go released their new one-take video this week for the single This Too Shall Pass. This is simply amazing. This goes to show you that smart + guts + creative = the love and adoration of millions. I like people who think for a living.

Stupak-Pitts Passed / More Fight Brewing

Last week was an intense week on the Hill. There were protests-a-plenty. Lawmakers at odds. Demonstrators from both sides of the health care debate were arrested in Lieberman’s and Pelosi’s offices. So much of the tension, fear and angst came to a rolling boil in just the last 48 hours. A long Saturday session in the House ended late last night with three pivotal votes. The first was...

The Fighting Pro-Life Dems

After months and months of staunch debate and up to 14 amendments blocked to remove abortion from government-run health care there seems to be an interesting turn taking place. A pack of 40 pro-life Democrats are challenging Nancy Pelosi and their own party to ensure that there will be no taxpayer-funded abortion allowed in the Health Care Reform bill. This is very interesting indeed. Stupac and...

A Cold Day for Firsts

I’m currently hanging out with family in Indiana and getting ready for a big weekend. This Sunday I will be officiating my first wedding. I typically don’t get nervous about stuff, but this has given me butterflies since the day Rebekah Orewiler (soon to be Jacks) asked me to do this. This will be an outdoor wedding and the recent cold snap has thrown an unexpected curveball....

5 Year Anniversary

Today is the opening day of the Supreme Court, and we welcome Sonia Sotomayor to the elite seat of one of the Nine. Today is also the 5 Year Anniversary of the very first Silent Siege–what has become known as Bound4LIFE and JHOP DC. Actually yesterday October 4th was the real anniversary, but it was the Opening Day of Court that marked the beginning. The Silent Siege was born against a dramatic...

I have never seen performance art quite like this. What a vivid demonstration of how a loving God gently and artistically guides our lives. Ps 139:17-18 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.

OK, the people closest to me know that I have a disproportionate fear of sharks. After seeing the freak newspost below I’m wondering what’s to stop sharks from spontaneously growing cheetah legs and chasing me down on land? Make sure you’re sitting down, then click the picture above.

Police estimate = 1.2 million people. ABC News reporting 2 million people. Wow. This doesn’t look so much like astroturf. This looks like Americans concerned about the direction the government is going. I wonder if anyone will bother to listen?

"Houston, we have a problem."

I’m excited today that former summer intern Rebecca is returning to work full-time with Bound4LIFE. She comes back to us as a fully-funded missionary, and that’s rare these days! Much love and many thanks to the church family at Christian Heritage Church in Tallahassee, FL. Rebecca will be serving as a project coordinator and administrative assistant. What project you ask? Well, the...

Home is Where the Heart Is

From the LA Times this morning regarding President Obama’s Health Care Bill: “He knew from mid-summer polling there’d be trouble if Congress left town for its August recess and got an earful of doubts from the folks back where the members used to live.” Used to live? I thought they still lived there, and they were only in DC to REPRESENT said “folks.” The...

OK. Guilty. I’ve erred in this area before. This post was a wake up call to me and took me back to how I originally viewed all this 2.0 stuff. Love it. If you don’t follow Gary or even know who he is, then I strongly recommend you do. And I don’t even drink wine! Or anything for that matter. :)

Illiteracy on the Rise in DC

When I first began posting on this topic, I never dreamed that it would turn into a series. Who’d have thunk? (1) (2) Once again we have an almost unbelievable example of a Congressman actually supporting the idea of not reading the bills that they want to pass. This time the baton is passed to House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers (D-MI). “I love these members, they get up and say, ‘Read...

Ah, yes. Once upon a time I was a designer. Still am in a very finite way, but oh how I miss those heady days of working on a broad range of subjects.I haven’t really been all that enthusiastic about micro cars. I DO like minis, but those Smart Cars just look like a suicide mission. I don’t know if I would have been all that excited about Toyota’s iQ either, but this project made...

OK, I’m a sucker for a big screen tv just like the next man. But I laughed out loud watching this bit with Buzz Aldrin and a CNN correspondent. At one point it just starts looking like he’s trying to confuse and dazzle the old man with his magical screen. Forget it dude, this guy flew a tin can to the Moon with less technology than what’s in your coffee maker. He is neither...
