Them’s Fightin’ Words …

The community we are building here and discussions we are having are really because of you, the readers here at BCM and those who read by the various feed readers out there. I am deeply appreciative of the hundreds of you that come by each week to read what I have to say and, in [...]
I like Michael DelGiorno’s radio show. I listen regularly and call in occasionally. I’ve appreciated him opening his mic and phone lines to Nashvillians to explore the issues and get to know the candidates in Nashville’s mayoral election. I’ve found him to be forthright and evenhanded while maintaining his personal values and views. Which is [...]
Embracing the Suck …

For those of you raising eyebrows at the title of the post, rest assured that I’ve not started selling Kirbys on my blog nor have I switched to a more ‘adult’ format. The post’s title comes from advice given to my son by a military friend upon learning my son had enlisted. His advice was [...]
While I’m a huge fan of the upcoming, annual Talk Like a Pirate Day this September 19th, this post has nothing to do with that venerable day. Instead, it concerns a story which is prima facie evidence that nothing good comes from letting women out of the kitchen – or in this case, the galley. [...]

All I Can Say Is …
Aug 25
Last week was incredibly busy with work and other details and challenges in Real Life. It hit me the middle of the week that I didn’t get a ‘Caption It’ contest posted last Saturday. Mea culpa, perdona me! I’ll set this week right, however, by offering up this one. A friend emailed me this pic [...]
One recent commenter here at BCM has advanced the argument that the notion of America as a Christian nation or a nation with a Christian heritage is both false and offensive. He has stated that some of my opinions are invalid, not because they are incorrect but because they are a product of my Christian [...]
I got the following email the other day. It’s puffing a new site, WonkoSphere, that keeps track of all the buzz for each of the 2008 Presidential Candidates (and Fred Thompson). I clicked through and REALLY enjoyed what I found. This looks to be a great tool to combine information and writing from all over [...]
