A very delayed but nevertheless fervent AMEN to your column in mid-October asking “What would Jesus do?” re the Occupy Movement.  

The Sunday morning prior to the column appearing, as a retired Pastor, I was sitting in Church at a worship service and thinking, “This is not CHURCH, we are just playing CHURCH.  That is where the CHURCH is”.

Thank you for your columns, providing a dose of reality in the midst of often very (undeclared) biases represented as thoughtful comments.

Social Blemish Records’ latest mop-topped punk-pop sensation, SFH, is issuing its WDYHM soon!  Here’s a snapshot of Social Blemish’s first-ever release, now worth a small fortune in certain countries in Europe. The Hot Nasties ‘I Am A Confused Teenager’ here, and (bonus!) early mix of SFH tune ‘The Truth’ here. Spin away!

Will the NBA be back? I sure as Hell hope so. We’ve missed it.

But Curran’s getting it going, so who am I to stop his fun?

As noted below, I agreed with some of Apps’ criticisms – the focus on past glories, for instance, the fratricidal tribalism – but not all of it.

In the link, Jordan fights back, passionately, and attracts an interesting commenter.

My view is Soviet, frankly: samo kritika is never a bad thing. It leads to better self-awareness and, hopefully, remedial action. And redemption.

I have many views on this subject, but I’ll keep them to myself, for now.

What do you think? A good idea?

I actually agree with some of the things Alf Apps says.

Wow. The apocalypse is imminent.

In which I follow Peter C. Newman, who is a tough act to follow.  Also tough: commenting on his book when RANDOM HOUSE WHO IS MY PUBLISHER TOO hasn’t even sent it to me, Scott Sellers.  Scott, who works at Random House and is MY FRIEND.  Allegedly.

Charles, who isn’t nearly as nasty as some progressives might think, makes me laugh.
