One thing that has struck me about all the gnat straining and camel swallowing of the sundry torture defenders I have encountered is their curious devotion to the inversion of Christian values. Over at What’s Wrong with the World there was a thrilling rhetorical flourish at one point of the discussion, in which I was berated for “pious pose and profane prose“. It really was an admirably catchy turn of phrase: sort of like “Keep your rosaries off my ovaries”.... Read more

Yesterday, over at “What’s Wrong with the World” I was involved in a hilarious discussion with sundry torture advocates and self-described serious and careful thinkers who are still pulling their chins and wondering if subjecting somebody to simulated drowning 183 times is torture. As one of the more incoherent of... Read more
Baby Jack, whom some of you remember, is still fighting. My reader writes: Baby Jack had major abdominal surgery yesterday and will need more when he can tolerate it. He is at Childrens’ and having a pretty rough go. Father, hear our prayers that Jack be healed completely in body, soul, and spirit through your Son, Jesus Christ.
