Victoria’s secret… NO more

By idaflo | June 11th, 2010 | View Comments 

Like most Christian Conservatives, I hate to offend people.  Yet the truth will do that, even when it’s delivered with great care – something Victoria Jackson knows well.

I like Victoria.  She used to be creative and funny on Saturday Night Live, but now  in real life, she is allowing her once secret Christian faith and conservative political views, to become highly visible.  Her gifts enable her to find more work in comedy,  but more importantly, she uses her fame as a vehicle to boldly deliver an essential  message.

Victoria serves as a role model to encourage the more timid to stand  for what is good, true, and right, even when doing so is misunderstood, understood too well, or otherwise unpopular.

I’m Mad at Christians

I was sitting in Church-Lady Helen’s living room. Someone commented on the illegal immigration problem. I said, “For some strange reason our government doesn’t know that illegal immigration is illegal.” Pious Helen stuck her nose in the air and proudly declared, “I never discuss politics.”

I felt like I’d just been punched in the face. Read More »

Mythology from the White House?

The Irritable Pundit

Hello all, Tell me, does anyone believe this conversation actually happened?

Really? You are claiming your daughter Malia just happened to ask you, on the day of your first press conference in a year, “Did you plug the hole yet, Daddy?”.

Oy.

You know the lie itself isn’t bad, compared to what the lie says about his assumption of our collective intelligence. Seriously. Ouch.

I started to get snarky about it, but then I thought, “But what if she really did?”. What if (work with me on this) she really does ask him about his failures?  (All LINKED HERE)

Hat Tip to @FoxNewsMom

This is a financial Abbott and Costello and it’s absolutely telling. They’re pretty much playing financial musical chairs. When the music’s over…turn out the lights.

Lutheran Volunteers in the French Quarter (via Pastor Larry Bean)

From Father Hollywood.

Father Hollywood logoI’m going to go out on a limb and say that this is the coolest video of Lutherans from Arlington Heights, Illinois eating oysters, hanging out at Cafe du Monde, and listening to A Mighty Fortress played on a glass harp in the French Quarter (after spending a week doing volunteer work) that you will see all day.

Bons temps!

Art Linkletter KIDS SAY THE DARNDEST THINGS (Video)

By idaflo | May 26th, 2010 | View Comments 

Art Linkletter died today.  He was 97.

I used to love watching him when I was a kid.  Kind, funny, smart, sweet and always very very wise.  Farewell Art, we miss you, we’ve missed you on television for a long time. You represented the best that American television had to offer.

With simple questions addressed to normal children, you inspired them to express wonderful, innocent eloquence on your show .
