Hmm... looks like I have not blogged much lately, eh?

Life happens, I guess.

A few things I have been meaning to write about:

• Obama wins Oregon, Clinton wins Kentucky, and nothing in the race changes. Exciting, eh?


• Did you know John McCain is older than the chocolate chip cookie?


• Oscar Pistorius gets to keep his Olympic dreams alive:

  When an international court ruled Friday that a double-amputee sprinter from South Africa was eligible to compete in this summer’s Olympic Games in Beijing, the stage was set for disabled athletes to meet their own trailblazer.

  The watershed ruling made the runner, Oscar Pistorius, the first amputee to successfully challenge the notion that his carbon-fiber prosthetics gave him an unfair advantage and assured his right to race against able-bodied athletes in the Olympics, should he qualify.



• Unions: good for equity, good for efficiency


• Justice Stevens contrasts lethal injection methods - Stevens says horses are probably euthanized more humanely than death row prisoners do.


• CeaseFire effective in curbing violence - Yet... in the amid the wave of violence in Chicago, the Governor has refused to fund Ceasefire. Thanks Rod.


• Theology for the Masses has an interesting discussion on whether or not a "relationship with God" actually exists.

Anything else exciting going on?
