Rush to Judgment

Didn't this used to be the United States?

I'm going to start by admitting that I used to be a Limbaugh fan. It was about 15 years ago (WOW am I getting old), but it's true.

But with the current uproar about his potentially buying the St. Louis Rams my current ambivalence toward him personally is turning toward shame in our once great country. How can your political positions make you ineligible to make a purchase? Seriously! Isn't that the very foundation of a free country? Some people want to restrict another person's marketplace options because of his opinions? Wow, and wow.


Other recent thoughts:

So Obama got an award for doing nothing. So what? I'm diametrically opposed to most of his politics (when I pay enough attention to care, which is . . . pretty much never), but am annoyed with everybody being annoyed that he got an award. Good for him. Who cares?

Did anybody else see that Phillies/Rockies game last night? Wow, wow, and wow. It can't be all coincidence that flu season and baseball post-season happen at the same time, because this can't be good for any fan's health. But WOW what a way to take a series home.

Finally, in some legitimate personal big news, I'm about to up and move to take a job leading a small church in Dover, NH. I know, who goes to New Hampshire? Me, as it turns out. Also, it turns out that it's a pretty cool area and we're excited to see what God might do there. Just wish that we weren't going to pull in just in time for winter. Oh, the sacrifices. . . .
