Onward Christian Soldiers, Marching Off The Cliff...

Fri. Dec. 28th, 2012  |  Ed Raymond

I have been in used bookstores from Key West to Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, and occasionally I find a jewel of a book that either ruptures an idea or adds to one. My latest dollar-find is “The Great Escapes: Four Slave Narratives” first published in 1847 and then re-published much later by Barnes & Noble

North Korea Missile Launch Much Scarier than US, UK Tests

Fri. Dec. 28th, 2012

The North Koreans have placed their first weather satellite in orbit, although the device is reportedly “tumbling” and hardly a model of space age competence. The Dec. 12 launch of North Korea’s rocket has brought a chorus of condemnation by nuclear-armed governments and military hawks. The nuclear weapons club has been testing H-bombs and nuclear missiles like mad itself lately, which

The Remarkable Lichen

Fri. Dec. 28th, 2012  |  Ralph LaPlant

Most of us have at one time or another looked at a red oak tree and upon closer examination observed green and yellow splotches on the trunk’s bark. These splotches are lichen. Lichens are indeed remarkable. They are composed of organisms of two diffe

This column marks two years that I’ve presented a food of the week (every three weeks), with some background and nutrition on the featured food followed by several healthy, relatively simple recipes. At this anniversary point, I invite

Things that displease me in children’s Christmas specials

Fri. Dec. 28th, 2012

A Charlie Brown Christmas Jesus! No, I’m not being blasphemous. I’m using the phrase in a literal sense. There’s a whole lotta Jesus in this cartoon. Everything starts out fine, with the whole neighborhood taking a piss on Charlie Brown like usual, and then for no reason, right in the middle of the show, Linus halts all that fun to give a lengthy lecture about Jesus. Am I the only one who fast-forwards through this part? Can’t I just drink six beers and masturbate to Peppermint Patty’s flip flops like a normal person?

Unlearned Lessons from World War I: the Christmas Truce of 1914

Sun. Dec. 30th, 2012  |  Gary G. Kohls, MD

In World War I, as happens to be true in most wars, the Christian church leadership joined in the patriotic fervor with very un-Christlike, nationalistic, and racial/religious superiority stances. Astonishingly, religious leaders on every side of the conflict truly believed that God was on their particular side. And so

The American Disease

Sun. Dec. 30th, 2012  |  Ed Raymond

I was horrified by the mass murder of 20 first graders and six school employees at Sandy Hook Elementary, but I wasn’t at all surprised. I have written over 1,100 weekly columns over the last 20 years, and I esti

My New Year’s resolutions

Sun. Dec. 30th, 2012

- I will only spend 90 percent of my paychecks on useless eBay garbage, instead of my usual 125 percent. - I will find myself a nice lady to settle down with. Not because I want companionship, but because my doctor says if I continue playing Call of Duty 17 hours per day, I will eventually become a cripple.
