Stuff Christians Like: Subtly finding out if you drink beer, too
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008One of my favorite read-for-fun blogs, Stuff Christians Like, had a great post about one of the existential problems for many Christians:
Stuff Christians Like: Remix - #34. Subtly finding out if you drink beer too.
The reason you play this game is not that you’re afraid of looking bad in front of people that don’t. I have friends that choose not to drink and they never get on me about having beer. They never try to choke hold for drinking wine. Not at all. But there are people that will leg drop you if they find out you drink. People that will say things like, “I really think all the bad things that happened to you are God punishing you for starting to drink wine.” (Real quote from a friend)
p.s.– Not to be pedantic, but the thoughts of one person on MarketingDilemma.com may not be the thoughts of all people on MarketingDilemma.com. It’s that whole free will thing.
Just to clarify, I live just outside of Dallas County…
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008Evidently a Dallas County special meeting got a little intense this week talking about the incompetence of the traffic court:
Commissioner Kenneth Mayfield, who is white, said it seemed that central collections “has become a black hole” because paperwork reportedly has become lost in the office.
Commissioner John Wiley Price, who is black, interrupted him with a loud “Excuse me!” He then corrected his colleague, saying the office has become a “white hole.”
That prompted Judge Thomas Jones, who is black, to demand an apology from Mayfield for his racially insensitive analogy.
Yeah, John Wiley Price is an actual County Commissioner. Yes, we hear about him every couple weeks and, as a collective city, slap our heads in disbelief. I have no more words…

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008The Chinese armed police are making sure to show the world they’re ready for the Olympics with the drills last weekend, and now I am quite sure they are ready for something. Please go ahead and follow these links to different pictures from the same event and see why I could not control my laughter or my terror if I was in China right now:
