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.

The Tea Parties

Tea, anyone? from Father Hollywood by Father Hollywood Like hundreds of thousands of other Americans, the Hollywoods enjoyed a tea party this past Wednesday. "Tea party" (wink wink).

There were literally thousands of people crammed into the neutral ground (though on that day, the ground was anything but...), as cars and trucks poured by the busy boulevard laing on their horns in support. Here are pictures. And like every such gathering in our environs, there was even a brass band and an improptu "second line" parade. It was a "party" after all. But it was a party with a serious reason. The crowds were so overwhelming that it was hard to hear the speakers, and unfortunately, we did have a fe...

Viva California! USA out of California Now!

Gene Veith points to a Russian who predicts the breakup the American Empire. Gene is somehow unaware of the dozens of secessionist movements in various states. Granted they are almost all small but still, they exist and this could be a good time for us. Those who know me already understand that I'm a California Nationalist who I doesn't think California should have joined those united States in the first place. Being a part of that empire just costs us money, we get nothing in return. These days we get to be hated by foreigners for being Americans and mocked by Americans for being Californians. Getting us out of the US yesterday would be a day too late as far as I'm concerned.

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
