30 DEGREES AND SINKING by Jean Snow

Saturday, September 30th, 2006

It is a gorgeous fall day. Shreds of vapor float over the Eagle River and weave in and out among the golden birch and black green spruce trees. The moutain peaks are dusted with fresh snow.
And my winter alarm in jangling. It’s 30 degrees out there under a blue sky. [...]

A COLD SHOULDER FROM THE FAR NORTH by Jean Snow

Saturday, September 30th, 2006

The Aleutian Pribilof Islands Association stated Thursday that it would reject the offer of free heating oil from Citigo. The effort by Venezualan president, Hugo Chavez, to give heating oil to poor communities across the U.S. is being turned back by the Alaskan villages of Leson Lagoon, Atka, St. Paul and St. George.

The APIA [...]

THE GOSPEL OF EVOLUTION by Jean Snow

Thursday, September 28th, 2006

I’m entertaining thoughts related to the wide-spread and stifling climate that shouts down, cuts off, and disparages any point of view that questions in any degree the all encompassing virtue of the Gospel of Evolution.
It is bigotry pure and simple. Bigotry excused by hiding behind the shield of science and education. [...]

A LITTLE SELF-RESTRAINT ADDS UP TO BIG DIVIDENDS by Jean Snow

Sunday, September 24th, 2006

I’ve taken up a new volunteer occupaton. I spend time with fourteen and fifteen year old girls. We plan activities that they will be interested in, we talk about what they want to become and what they are doing now to prepare for that future they hope for. This particular group of [...]

A SHRED OF UNITY: A Bit of Light in the Dark Days at the UN

Thursday, September 21st, 2006

I have to say I’m impressed that two democratic foes of the president have the decency to stand up to a vile pretender like Hugo Chavez and in a display of extraordinary unity defend the President of the United States. Chavez in a moment of manic self-importance called President Bush the devil. Surreal [...]

TEXT AND CONTEXT:Papal Discourse Incites the Perpetually Incited by Kent Huff

Tuesday, September 19th, 2006

It will be interesting to see how the limp, lethargic, lackadaisical, labyrinthine, lachrymal, liberal left, with their labefaction and liberty lacuna, spin this re-declaration of war on the Christian world by Al-Qaeda, et al.

THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES by Jean Snow

Sunday, September 17th, 2006

I’m not in the mood to navigate prophecy, or bemoan the escalating madness in the world. Mobs burn churches over the pope’s faux pas, congressional majorities hang in the balance, and Tucker was tossed off Dancing With the Stars.
But I’m looking at the mountains and the spread of rusty reds in the underbrush and [...]

DISINFORMATION: COUNTER-COUNTER-COUNTER COUNTER-COUNTER TERRORISM

Thursday, September 14th, 2006

The unabashedly nonconstructive disease of the conspiracy theorist is contagious. Syria’s government has caught the contagion and will milk it to deflect attention from its own flaws and responsiblilities. So what else is new.
Concerning the recent attack on the U.S. embassy in Damascus, a Syrian official remarked that the U.S. orchestrated the attack [...]

ABC’S THE PATH TO 9/11

Wednesday, September 13th, 2006

RE: Democrats and this docudrama; “Methinks they doth protest too much.” I mean, since there was so much irrate posturing, I wasn’t about to miss this show.
No burearucrat nor politician of whatever stripe comes off looking very good. Informers and freedom fighters get high marks.
Bill dropped the ball, George keeps fumbling [...]

CONSPIRCACY THEORIES: Hot Explosives and Hot Air by Kent Huff

Monday, September 11th, 2006

Since September 11, 2001 many people have propounded various theories on exactly what took place at the World Trade Center. Conspiracy theorists have proposed that it was a US government operation for the purpose of getting us into a war in the Middle East and greatly expanding the powers of the presidency, all for [...]
