[I have] never liked the medal-count obsession of Olympics coverage. Why do we care what nation finishes in which place? The Olympics are supposed to celebrate individual achievement and international cooperation; country-based medal counting violates both principles.

These are the kinds of things I think about pretty much all day long. Oh, and I agree with the commenter who said that Dr. Strange’s Sanctorum is clearly an illusion.

Apparently some got to the blog by searching “civil war caused by calvinism vs arminianism.” Now, if for some reason someone was taught the American Civil War was caused because of the Calvinist and Arminian debate, they need to read a bit of history (I highly recommend this book review by a highly esteemed blogger).

Tilting at Windmills
Venezuela’s president, Hugo Chavez, called on other Latin American and Caribbean countries to form a military alliance against the United States. There has been no rush to join up.
