Eli was in town today and I got to have lunch with him. It was great to meet him in person, finally, and he told me he’s been so busy the last few days he did not feel caught up on the news. “What’s happening?” he asked.I[...]

Sabbath Time ~ Geometry

much thinking and reading to do right now, trying to create some new habits, reconsider, break (and/or tune) a few old ones, and generally figure out some angles,
Geometry.

Ran across this in a sort of guidebook about beginning and maintaining a journal, one of the new habits I've had recommended as a approach seminary and continue my candidacy.

God is a circle whose
center is everywhere
and its circumference
is nowhere

Blair says democracy not so important

post from AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth on 16 June 2007 10:35:00 PM. © AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth

The democracy-hating Blair strikes again. Then again, with the new rumors of Blair as the EU president, preventing active debate and democracy on the EU would seem to be the standard operating procedure for so many pro-EU types. I am very much in favor of a unified Europe but the implementation has been rushed, over-extended and shoved through by a the European political ruling class rather than from actual voters. The EU ruling elite continues to ignore reasonable objections and concerns from regular people which is precisely why the voters of France and the Netherlands rejected the constitution.

The Blair model of preaching democracy while dismissing all of the traditional values and characteristics of democracy. His departure and cynical view of our system will not be missed.

Things Change

post from Eschaton on 16 June 2007 10:21:00 PM. © Eschaton

Watching "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" and it occurs to me that while the interracial relationship is perceived as freakishly weird, the fact that the 37 year old distinguished doctor picks up a young 23 year old thing at a "Dean's party" after lecturing at a university is seen as perfectly normal.

Worse Than Bush: Blair Knew Better

With his elegant English accent, Tony Blair lent George Bush a confident air of intelligence and rationality as the ?Coalition of the Willing? prepared to invade Iraq in 2003.

Now as he prepares to leave office, an altogether different picture emerges. As the Observer sums it up:

?Tony Blair agreed to commit British troops to battle in Iraq in the full knowledge that Washington had failed to make adequate preparations for the postwar reconstruction of the country.

?In a devastating account of the chaotic preparations for the war, which comes as Blair enters his final full week in Downing Street, key No 10 aides and friends of Blair have revealed the Prime Minister repeatedly and unsuccessfully raised his concerns with the White House.?

In view of Blair?s misgivings, Bush offered to let him off the hook. Condoleezza Rice, then our national security adviser, confirms that Bush told Blair he didn?t have to send troops, suggesting ?Perhaps there's some other way that Britain can be involved? and that Blair replied: ?No, I'm with you.?

All this makes Tony Blair look even worse than Bush. Sensing disaster, he nevertheless did a Winston Churchill impersonation and took his country into Iraq. Our deluded Neo-Cons were true believers, but Blair apparently knew better. Whatever his motives, he has even more to answer for than they do.
