Whatever Happened to Sin?

Music News

Way back in 1983, Steve Taylor wrote a song Whatever Happened to Sin? After watching the news this morning I was reminded of one verse in the song that goes like this:

I heard the Reverend say

“Gay is probably normal in the Good Lord’s sight

What’s to be debated?

Jesus never stated what’s right”

I’m no theology nut, but

The Reverend may be a little confused

For if the Lord don’t care

And he chooses to ignore-ah

Tell it to the people

Of Sodom and Gomorrah

Call it just an alternate lifestyle, huh?

Morality lies within

Consciences are restin’

Please repeat the question again

Whatever happened to sin?

Environmental Whackos LIX

Environmental Whackos

Fanning the flames of hell

A wall of smoke. When I opened the window on Saturday afternoon, the horizon was completely obscured by a thick, black, ominous tidal wave of smoke and ash. The air was heavy with the pungent odor of burning trees in the distance. Ash fell lightly on the street. At that point, I was a full 15 miles from the fires raging through Simi Valley in California.

I know it’s cruel to say this, but Californians brought this on themsevles. They let the NIMBY’s and environmental whackos take charge of their state and now they’re paying for it.

Blackout Roundup

Media Bias United States

TV Anchor Injects Politics into Power Outage: “CBS News anchor Dan Rather, covering Thursday’s multi-state blackout
from New York, wondered if President Bush would cancel his fund-raising
dinner in California because of the power outage back East, a media
watchdog group reported. The Media Research Center (CNSNews.com’s
parent organization) also noted that if CBS were so concerned about the
blackout, maybe it could have cancelled some of its prime time line-up.

In CNSNews.com

I wasn’t going to blog about this at all, but the media coverage
really pissed me off. Where the hell does the media get off playing
politics with a blackout like this? Shouldn’t they just report about it
without giving us an opinion? That’s what FOXNews did. They just
reported the facts, they didn’t editorialize in the form of “news
reporting.”

Why would anybody give Hillary so much airtime to tout her federal
regulation agenda for the energy industry? Why didn’t they balance her
comments with somebody in favor of de-regulation? If anybody says there
isn’t media bias, they’re crazy.
