. . . or so says Ed Brayton on Dispatches from the Culture Wars. I’m not sure if he’s right, though I’m inclined to agree that many conservative leaders will back McCain, especially if Hillary Clinton is the democratic nominee. Ed’s post also brings up my largest concern with McCain–Supreme Court nominations. The conservatives are afraid he won’t nominate conservatives. I’m afraid he will. Is it flip or flop?
A while back I wrote The Real War on Christmas. Now Thomas at Everyday Liturgy has called this stuff what it is–idolatry.
Every so often Christine’s photos and/or Haiku are so good that I just have to call your attention to them. Stairways is great.
I really like this article about detecting deception from FiveThirtyEight.com. Of course, I should note that it totally supports my own view on the matter, as held before I read it!
Wesley Elsberry has provided a roundup of his posts on the Florida science standards. Note that the vote on these will be February 19.
Here’s a conspiracy I could get on board with!
I’m sticking largely with the Good Friday lectionary this week for the devotionals I’m writing for my wife’s list. The first two are Watching and Waiting and Restoring Broken Things. They will continue each week day.

Here’s a twist for you – it doesn’t matter who a theoretical President McCain (or Obama or Clinton) nominates. Because as McCain made so abundantly clear, it’s not the President, but a handful of rogue Senators who determine who gets a chance to be on SCOTUS.
I’m laughing myself silly at McCain, of all people, promoting the theory that we’d better elect him or a Dem will nominate liberal judges. And I’m profoundly depressed that people are falling for that fallacious argument. I suppose things could be worse. It could be Huckabee.
