Notes from a sermon

For the next two years, we are in for some hard core campaigning from both side of the aisle. During this time, its important to remember that we should not be looking to our politicians to protect our nation, our families, and our wealth. That type of security is only available in the arms of an all powerful, all knowing, all loving God.

We should take comfort in his sovereignty in this tine of tribulation. He will protect his flock from the scorching wind.

The Obama presidency is enough to make a grown man cry. We weep, not for our present, but for our childrens future. My God says he will wipe away those tears. We know the score and we know who has won. In the midst of this tribulation, we have comfort.

Is it time for an Italian American President?

Rudy Giuliani has thrown his hat in the ring for the 2008 Presidential race. For those of you who don't know, Mr. Giuliani was one of the driving forces behind the gangland prosecutions of the 5 New York Mafia families. His skillful maneuvering of the revolutionary RICO statutes helped break the Italian Mafia's strangle-hold on New York and surrounding area's. I will wholeheartedly support Rudy Giuliani as President and I'll tell you why. With the tragedy of 9/11 came a shift in focus from the drug war and fighting organized crime, to "Homeland Security." Ironicaly, along with this shift in focus, came a relaxation of the former hard nosed pursuance of drugs and crime. No longer did the Organized Crime Task Force receive priority funding and adequate staffing. They are back to the dark ages of the 1960's in terms of quality enforcement officials. Once again, drugs and organized crime threaten our nation from within. The Russian, Albanian, Dominican...

ER: Is dead

NBC has made their mark on our culture. They've done it by creating a catch phrase that spans two generations so far. That is an undertaking that only a multi billion dollar company could hope to have any success doing. They've done it by repeatedly pounding into our heads that Thursday is the home of MUST SEE T.V.! Let's examine that phrase. MUST see. Do you really need to see it? Well, if you're to have any clue on what everyone's talking about at work the next day, yeah, you do. I can imagine those execs sitting around the board table brainstorming, "we need something catchy that rhymes with must see!" "Wait I've got it! TV!" While a ray of sun beams down into the room and a choir of angels sings halleluja. The show that has anchored the lineup of "Must see tv" shows for 12 years is ER, short for "Emergency Room." A bland title that belies that complexity of situations this normal looking Chicago city ER dea...

Stray Observations

There are few things more annoying than self proclaimed, "Social Technology Experts." If there's one thing that everyone should realize when it comes to social media and social technology, it's that none of us are experts. The landscape is constantly shifting and changing. We are all students. Those who listen and learn, adapt and change, will be successful. Watching Angelo clamor for food is probably one of the most entertaining parts of my day. In the 2 hours I get to spend with him a day, requests for food easily make up 115 minutes. He's a growing boy. Please, God, let him be a growing boy... I am really jealous of my Dad right now. He's going to be winging his way across the pacific northwest landscape in a WWII era B-17 bomber. If 737's are the Honda Civics of the flight world, the B-17 is definitely a 1970, 4 speed, Hemi Plymouth Barracuda. Speaking of flying, what if I jumped out of a plane, pull...
