Afternoon Dung

David Strand, the clearly mentally challenged dude who took the ax to the only truly Confessional Lutheran Voice to the world, said in a recent interview (source is this story in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch) that the new Afternoon Show they replaced Issues Etc. with " is different from "Issues, Etc. in that it doesn't dwell largely on Lutheran apologetics at a sophisticated level. It still takes its Gospel proclamation seriously, but it finds new ways to capture attention."

In other words, he said that they replaced a sophisticated apologetics program, that has brought thousands to understand that Confessional Lutheran theology is Biblical theology, with the stinking dung of generic American evangelicalism. That is the same stuff that you can scrape off of the bottom of your shoe after trolling through TBN for a while. Sure it will "capture attention" as he said, but only long enough to scrape away it's annoying smell, it will not feed anyone nor will it lead anyone to true understanding of Law and Gospel or Word and Sacrament. Instead it will lead them to Joel Osteenism...

Satan is surely rejoicing.

NBC anti-life?

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/

Wikileaks and police state censorship

I saw an article today on SF Gate about some nit wit Bush appointed Federal Judge ordering a website I'd never heard of called Wikileaks shut down because they were publishing some bank documents from some corrupt Swiss bank. The amusing thing is that they can't actually do it! Even more amusing is that this just draws attention to the site and makes it that much more visible, yay idiot goons! :-) There are mirror sites all over the world and it's almost impossible for thuggish police state goons to figure out how to close off all of the leaks :-) One mirror site is here: http://wikileaks.be/wiki/Wikileaks The US site they tried to close down is still here: http://88.80.13.160 "Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe,...

Child Driven Education

Here is a Ted Talk with Sugata Mitra on Child Driven Education... very unschooling-like I think.  :-)  I've seen videos of him before, this is an update on his research on letting groups of kids learn on the internet, mostly without any supervision at all.  Posted via email from The Angry Gnome
