I wish God was more like duct tape. Once you adhere duct tape to something it absolutely sticks and getting away from it is hard. Even when it is removed it leaves a residue. God isn’t that kind of sticky – at least in my life. I find it so easy to go from moments…

The first lawsuit against Don Imus and no fewer than a half-dozen corporations has been filed. Why? The attorney speaks: “This is a lawsuit in order to restore the good name and reputation of my client, Kia Vaughn,” said her attorney, Richard Ancowitz, in an exclusive interview with the ABC News Law & Justice Unit.…

Karl Rove made religion sexy for every politician and political strategist. More than any other person in the past generation Karl Rove is responsible for the faith-based politics we see around us. His influence is greater than Robertson or Dobson or anyone on the religious left because he didn’t simply preach a religious gospel to…

We’ve been at the beach the past few days. With a newborn and a two-year-old that means we’ve mostly been at the house looking in the general direction of where we know the beach is located. Wonderfully we have managed two 45-minute outings. Two-year-old Livvy likes the beach but is highly suspect of those big,…

Elvis provides a different take on Rove’s resurrection: If you look at the polls, the collapse in Congress’s approval rating is due to extremely low levels of support among Democrats, around 19 percent as of a few weeks back. By contrast, over half of Republicans still give favorable ratings to the president. Congress is in…

Over at CrunchyCon Rod Dreher has a good overview on various thoughts about Rove plus good ones of his own including: And so, it turns out that the house the Architect built was constructed on sand. It cannot have been otherwise in politics; there is no such thing as a permanent majority. Still, it’s stunning…

The permanent Republican majority may be closer than we think. It is easy right now to think that Rove leaves as a failure. After all, the great initiatives have failed. Social Security failed, permanent tax cuts failed, immigration failed, Democrats control Congress, the president’s approval ratings are in the tank, 2008 is looking pretty bad.…

A couple months ago I was talking to one a major political reporter who said their predicted Republican candidate – as crazy as it may sound – was still Mike Huckabee. This is a person with a very good track record. What is clear coming out of the Ames straw poll is that Huckabee is…

Thinker has this to say about faith: Religion and its teachings are sometimes intellectual and emotional, but the imagery of stories forms our spirits. We water down religion by keeping it a strictly intellectual pursuit. James Fowler teaches about the stages of the human psychology of faith. Each stage build on the other and the…

For the best coverage of the straw poll in Ames visit Marc Ambinder – he has summaries of every speech and will report all of the results as they occur. He is really, really good.
