It's just terrible how nobody makes good music nowadays...

Unfortunate Christian song titles...

Occasionally, on my feed, I get a pic of a Christian Worship album cover. You know the type: half-a dozen scrubbed, fresh-faced Aryans claiming to be a family that performs songs in praise of Lord Jesus, Halleluja! And then there's the album title, with a title cut that is... unfortunate, to say the least. My favorite so far has been an album with four Aryan children on it, none looking over ten years of age, with the title "He Touched Me."

So, let's play a game. Make up a title for a "Christian" (or other religion) song with a title that is... misleading. Add a brief explanation of what the song was really supposed to be about.

My examples: "I Let Him Come," about admitting JC into your heart. Your heart, I said!

"It's Hard for Me," a lament about how difficult it is for a poor sinner to follow Jesus.

Want to play? After all, what better way to observe Lent than a little casual blasphemy?

I understand Donald Trump is posting at DU recently.

He's demanding Earl G. give him a DUzy, or he'll repossess Earl's truck.

[yes, yes, I know Earl G. doesn't give DUzies. That's kind of the joke]

Wow, getting hearts hand over fist this year.

My thanks to you all.

As from today, I'm officially on borrowed time...

"Threescore years and ten" have come and gone, so if my strength takes me to fourscore, it will surely be a labor and a sorrow.

The worst part of living in historical times...

... for me, anyway, is knowing I won't get to see what history will actually make of these times.

History should only occur when one is young, so that fifty years later, you can read the books and say "I knew it all along."

Consider: an entire generation of Americans is growing up with Donald Trump as a role-model

If that doesn't alarm you, I don't know what would.

Let me make this pellucidly clear (as malaise would say):

The United States has not "captured" Nicolas Maduro. We have kidnapped him. That is all, back to our regular jingoistic media broadcast.

"Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer," PMJ style.

It's Christmas. Time for a little drummer. I give you Papa Jo Jones.
