In the course of getting through my MBA program I have run across some really good teachers and some that are so removed from reality that I can’t seem to find much common ground to even communicate with them. I rarely listen to Michael Savage but I know that he contends that liberalism is a…

The Times of the Gentiles
Folks, I just can’t catch a break. I was minding my own business, as best I can at the church Bible study last night and presto, yet another time when we as modern Christians can’t let the Bible define terms but have to project stuff into the text that it plainly never says. The study…

Last night, the Thursday night Bible study was yet another doozie. Folks, this group is so hung up on Premillennial Dispensationalism that it’s disgusting. First, they know that I disagree with them on eschatology; therefore, lots of prayers were offered that the Holy Spirit reveal the Truth to them by fiat. Intense study of the…

As our loyal readers will recall, I reported in this space about a week ago that Catholic Schools St. Patrick’s Academy and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton school were in dire straits financially. Well, we have an answer to my reporting. Bishop Jaime Soto announced the closing of St. Patrick’s and St. Charles schools and combined…

Long time no blog out of me. Like most I have been busy, but also prices have gone up so much at local eateries that I am going to have to re-evaluate my criteria for judging businesses. However, I have killed the local Dickey’s “BBQ” joint for what may be the final time. You may…

Having Mario for your attorney must be like growing up as a Chicago White Socks fan. You keep waiting and waiting. It takes literal decades for them to win the pennant. In their case, it was 100 years. Then back to business as usual. The business of losing. Since my last post on Mario, my…
