Outrage and insights in a 140 characters or less (most of the time). This is a weekly recap of topics that capture my fancy. To get your fill of my rants on a daily basis, follow The Enlightened Redneck on Twitter.
- Divorce should carry the stigma it once did. And Newt Gingrich and Rudy Giuliani are moral hypocrites if not political ones.
- Matt Drudge as a paragon of media ethics? Sorry, I’m not buyin’ that one. He just likes privacy. It’s that simple.
- Has Antonin Scalilia lost his marbles? Does he really think it’s “reasonable” to strip search school girls?
- A reporter who took a literal bullet at work just took a figurative one from his bosses — a layoff. What more proof to you need that loyalty is a one-way street in today’s workforce. Employers demand it but too rarely give it back.
- Who owns the rain? You probably won’t be surprised to hear that the government thinks it does.
- Fat folks may be making the globe warmer. Let’s just say I’m doing my part. I’m not happy about it, mind you. I’m just sayin’.
- Why socialism will fail — a classroom experiment to prove a point to all of the socialist wannabes.
- Blogger James Joyner thinks too many “ranting loons” are “the voice of conservatism.” “Loons” is too strong, but I agree. That said, I have found myself enjoying Glenn Beck’s show occasionally. Sometimes ranting is in order — hence this feature.
- Bible believers are “rigorously normal.” “You are the light of the world” in action (Matt. 5:14-16).
- “Ramps is special — it’s your springtime tonic.” Spoken like a true redneck. Can’t say I’ve tried them, though.
