Well, he’s certainly gotten people talking. This past week actor Angus T. Jones made headlines after his video condemnation of the television show that has made him a very wealthy teen-ager. Depending on your perspective he was either taking a courageous stand for his faith or he was joining in former co-star Charlie Sheen in…
They don’t have a prayer
So, Kim Kardashian had to apologize for comments that she made on Twitter. And you might be thinking, “ and this is worthy of a Penn?” Well yeah, because of what she had tweeted. It appears that Kardashian had the audacity to post “Praying for everyone in Israel,” and she followed that with, “Praying for…
Caught! He got caught. The fact that a high ranking government official was caught cheating on his wife really shouldn’t be a newsworthy item. We’ve seen it happen with mayors, senators, governors and Presidents. That doesn’t make it right, it just makes it common. But this guy was supposed to be able to keep secrets. …
What is in a name?
She was proud of the name she carried and tried to her best to add to the legacy of that name. Most of us heard the tragic news of the sinking of the HMS Bounty this past week. What you may not know is that the crewmember whose body was recovered was Claudene Christian. Does…
The Price of Leadership
The Bounty has been lost. . . again. I first heard about the problems the Bounty was having early Monday morning as the initial reports came out and I followed the progress of her loss and the rescue of most of her crew with rapt fascination. It’s an interesting quirk of human nature that I…

So, did you vote last week? Probably not, since we were told that less than half those who were eligible to vote actually cast a ballot. And if you fall in that category it is shameful and inexcusable. People say “But Denn you don’t understand, I didn’t know the issues or candidates.” Well, whose fault…
Going Up?
Faster than the speed of sound! This week, Austrian extreme athlete, Felix Baumgartner, became the first human to break the sound barrier. Well, the first human to break the sound barrier without an airplane. “Fearless Felix” jumped from a capsule that more than 38 kilometers above the earth and before deploying his parachute he reached…
Happy Thanksgiving
So, how was your Thanksgiving? We had a full house this year. My folks were here from Saint John, our daughter and her family we up from Shelburne, and we had some time with our son and his girlfriend in the Valley on Saturday. We did the traditional feast on Monday and will eat leftovers…
It’s Just a Matter of Time
The Toronto District School Board insists that it’s not endorsing polygamy. In a recent promotion to help prevent “gender-based violence”, the school board’s website has a poster with the message “Love has no gender” in white capital letters surrounded by various hearts containing stick figure people. In one of the hearts, there is an image…
Who Cares?
The question apparently isn’t “was he or wasn’t he?”. . . the question is “Who cares?” A couple of weeks ago it was reported that a fragment of manuscript had been discovered with the words “Jesus said to them, ‘my wife. . .’”. Well, that set the cat amongst the pigeons, so to speak. The…
