Video: Batman interrogates the Joker

I had read the reviews about Christian Bale’s bizzarre, growling Batman voice in The Dark Knight, and I first saw this video last summer.
Well, we just got around to watching the movie over the weekend (Happy Valentine’s Day, honey), and I have to admit, I had no idea how spot-on this spoof was. I couldn’t [...]

Compassionate Environmentalist: Mother Earth needs fewer mothers

I already have two kids, but there’s no plan to stop. How irresponsible of me:
This week, the Optimum Population Trust (OPT), of which Mr Porrit is a patron, launched its “Stop at Two” online pledge to encourage couples to limit their family’s size.
Mr. Porritt said earlier this month: “I think we will work our way [...]

Video: Winning isn’t everything

The recent hubbub over a Christian girls school forfeiting a basketball game and firing their coach following a 100-0 blowout begged the question: Was their conduct “unChristian?” Should Christians apologize for winning, for putting forth their best effort?
Watch the story below and see what I believe is a perfect example of how Christians can approach [...]

Feb. 17, 2009: Now just another, ordinary day

Last night, WHIO ran an hour-long special from 7 to 8 p.m. explaining every. single. minute. detail about the Feb. 17 switch to digital television. So I missed Wheel of Fortune last night for nothing?!
The Federal Communications Commission has ordered 123 broadcast television stations, including Dayton’s major network channels, to cease their planned early switch [...]

Happy 200th Birthday, Abraham Lincoln

The “Savior of our Nation” was born Feb. 12, 1809.
Coincidentally, President Lincoln shares the same birth date as Charles Darwin. Certainly two very influential people of very different influences. (Read my earlier post about Darwin).
To commemmorate the anniversary of his birth, the U.S. Mint is rolling out four new pennies this year. The obverse (“heads”) [...]

Video: Are you the Change you’ve been waiting for?

Reason.tv interviewed some Obama supporters in D.C. on Jan. 19, the night before he was inaugurated.
Using Obama’s rallying cry that “We are the change we’ve been waiting for,” the videographers asked supporters, “What are you going to do differently now that Obama’s president?”
Interesting answers. Think anyone says they would not be active in service if [...]

Video: “The power of grace”

Feel good story of the day:
Wilson, a young, white, Southern man, attacked Lewis, a freedom rider for Martin Luther King, in the “white” waiting room of a South Carolina bus station.
The men had not seen each other again until Tuesday when, with “Good Morning America’s” help, Wilson approached Lewis again — this time offering an [...]

Video: ESPN takes note of UD’s Chris Wright

If you haven’t seen a Dayton Flyers basketball game yet this season, you’re missing out.
When the team is hot, it’s a dunk fest. And while the success of the Flyers is truly a team effort (10 players have 10 minutes or more of playing time), sophomore Chris Wright certainly stands out.
ESPN thinks so, too:
These days [...]

News you can use

As someone who used to work at a newspaper, I can attest, this comic is so true.

Video: Planned Parenthood exposed

Some California college students have been making big headlines in the last few months for their hidden camera exposés of illegal and deceitful activity at Planned Parenthood clinics. The videos show the tragic abortion-first ideology of this taxpayer-subsidized organization.
The latest video, released today as part of the Mona Lisa Project, shows a nurse at an [...]
