Sure looks that way… Some Republicans might not like that we are gay, and might not like that we support the Clintons, but no Republican has ever threatened our lives, libeled us, thrown rocks through our windows, punched us in the face, or sought to deprive us of employment opportunities and ruin our good names. …

Women in Ministry and Authority in Churches: A Response to the Ugley Vicar
It seems that the prospect of women in ministry–and especially women as diocesan bishops–is always linked to a discussion of the nature of authority in churches. That was certainly the case in my own 2007 piece on the subject, Authority and Evangelical Churches, and now the CoE’s “Ugley Vicar” takes on the issue in his …

Tony Perkins Gets the Boot From the National Prayer Luncheon
Disappointing but unsurprising: The current main preoccupation of the military these days is to combat Islamic careerists in their quest for the expansion of the dar-al-salaam. As a Vanderbilt University faculty member reminded us recently, homosexuality is punishable by death under Islamic law and the implementation of that law is a goal of same careerists. …

Akio Toyoda’s testimony concerning the woes Toyota is having regarding its spontaneous acceleration makes me think of an incident in my own family business many years ago, as related by the field service man who experienced it. In the 1960′s, we imported a Japanese vibratory hammer called the Uraga. It’s purpose was to drive piles …
