Scattered

November 16th, 2006 | by Scott |

It’s a crazy week so there will not be a nonviolence entry today. Next week I hope to look at the blight on Christianity that was Constantine and the preposterous notion of Just War Theory.

In the meantime, here are some questions and thoughts:

–Is John McCain too old to be a viable candidate for president in 2008. Ronald Reagan was the oldest to ever be elected. He was 69 when he was voted in the first time in 2000. Mccain will be 72 in 2008. That would make him 80 at the end of a second term.

–Has Lost jumped the shark? I say yes. My good friend Jason still maintains it is the greatest show ever.

–Gilmore Girls is now officially dead to me. I don’t see any way that they can logically fix this mess they find themselves in.

–My Arkansas Razorbacks have clawed their way to #5 in the nation and are finally gaining some respect. If they beat MSU on Saturday they win the SEC West and meet Florida in the Championship. Darren McFadden is a true Heisman contender.

–What should you do when you realize that you have interpreted a passage wrong your entire life? That happens way too often these days.

–If you want a tremendous collection of hymns and spirituals then by all means get Kate Campbell’s beautiful and soaring “For The Living of These Days.” Any collection of spirituals that includes Woody Guthrie’s “Jesus Christ” is a hit in my book. Couple that with Campbell’s transcendent voice and traditional folk stylings and you have a tremendous disk.

–In the event of the rapture, is there someone willing to take over this blog? Cause I’m going.

–Does anybody besides me watch “What About Brian?” It’s become one of my favorite shows and I look forward to it on Monday nights at 9 more than I do the overly preachy and arrogant “Studio 60.” And I’ve consider myself a Sorkin fan.

I’m interested in your thoughts.

    I still love Lost. However, I think what they do with it from February to May will determine how much of a future it has.

    I liked Studio 60 to start, but I’ve grown tired of it. I heard it was going to stick around for the rest of the season, but I’m not sure I will.

    McFadden won’t win the Heisman this year unless he really goes nuts against LSU and Florida, and Smith & Co. have some bad games. If he’d not been hurt to start the season, he might’ve had a better shot by now. But he’ll be at the top of the list from day one next year.

    Lost has its moments but, to me, they are fewer and farther between. And I still feel with them killing off all the “tailies” and blowing up the hatch that season two was a waste.

    Studio 60 got the full pickup. NBC keeps harping on the fact that upscale, educated viewers watch it.

    I agree that McFadden is a long-shot. But at least it look assured he’ll be invited to NY. That’s pretty cool.

    Lost jumped the shark when they started finding lap top computers and stuff on the island. I think it is really funny how one person can say it is the best show on TV, and another person can say it is the worst. The best shows on TV are still 24 and The Shield.

    I was unaware that Ronald Reagan was voted into office in 2000. But to answer your question, if McCain is the best candidate, his age should not come into question. Just make sure he picks a heck of a running mate.

    If you change your position on a passage, as I have done many many times, especially in the past few years since my divorce, be honest and up front about it. Time has a way of changing us, and if a person cannot admit that they were wrong, or that their ideas have evolved, they should do a gut check to see if they are arrogant and haughty.

    Kate Campbell is great. I’ve seen her a couple of times live, and she is so talented. “Jesus Christ” is a fine song, but for spiritual songs from Woody Guthrie, none measures up to “God’s Promise.” “Jesus Christ” was written earlier in his life, and seems more “in your face.” “God’s Promise” was written near his death, and seems to indicate a genuine heart of contrition and conversion. If Woody is in Heaven today, he is singing “God’s Promise.”

    I’m a Sooner fan first, Tulsa Univ Golden Hurricane fan second. After that, I can pull for the ‘Backs. Beat Florida!

    I agree with you that 24 is the best TV has to offer. Never could get into “The Shield”

    I disagree with you, though, about McCain’s age. I think it has to be asked.

    I agree with you that we have to be honest when we see passages in a new light. I’ve never been afraid to say “I don’t know” or “I was wrong.” The problem is when foundation shift and being able to work through that and still church out a sermon in time for Sunday.

    I love “God’s Promise.” Ellis Paul does a beautiful version of that. But I still love U2’s version of “Jesus Christ” better. Do you have Kate’s new album. It’s great.

    Mcfadden will be a finalist…next year when the hogs are pre-season favorites. No way is he beating Troy Smith or Brady.

    McCain won’t matter, he is too liberal to get the nod from the GOP, if they want more in the middle they go with Rudy Giuliani.

    24 is best show on TV. I’d say the CSI’s are next followed by Survivor/Amazing Race. But all pale in comparison to ESPN (whatever is on).

    We are studying Constantine in history now and I have to wonder (like many others) did he realize the consequences of his actions. I actually think he did not fully understand that by making Christianity the official religion he created a monster.

    As for Just War…I’ll wait for the post :)

    McFadden will be a finalist this year if he keeps playing the way he is. I don’t think he’ll win, but he’ll definitely be invited to the ceremony.

    You’re right, McCain is electable but he’s not nominate-able. They’ll go conservative evangelical.

    I don’t think Constantine knew how it would end up–but he did know that he could use use Christianity for his military and political purposes. A trick that became pretty popular through the ages.

    McFadden will get the invite. But to agree with JasonK “BOOMER SOONER”.

    24, CSI, Amazing Race, Biggest Loser. LOST lost it’s appeal when they had to make up scenarios, I mean seriously how much crap can happen on one island same with Prison Break and looks like Jericho is heading the same way shows with too specific an event as the main plot to continue effectively beyond 2 years.

    McCain is too Liberal but Gulliani might get hung up to because of his abortion support and gun support won’t fly. Last election was lesser of two evils this election will be even worse.

    Constantine had a myopic point in time view of his actions.

    At least Prison Break got out of the stupid prison. Lost is stretching a thin story even further. I still like Jericho.
    I’m thinking Heroes might be the best serial out there right now.

    I’m personally excited about some prospects in 2008.

    I don’t have Kate’s new album, but I will look for it when I get my itunes card for Christmas.

    Age will be a factor, but it won’t necessarily keep him from getting elected. I’m more and more inclined to think that America will vote for whomever is taller, and better looking. Therefore I think John Edwards is a contender for the Dem nom in 2008.

    If you’re going to do a show about being stranded on a desert island, you have to have a Hollywood actress who sleeps in the raw, and a Kansas girl with a dark tan and micro shorts. That will win over plot lines anyday. History has proven that.

    The only thing that CSI, Survivor, and Amazing Race have proven is that CBS has a hard time handling success.

    24 is the most intense hour on TV. The Shield lacks that intensity, but it is still the second best show on TV.

  11. By Scott on Nov 16, 2006 | Reply

    I agree age won’t keep him from getting elected–the GOP will. The NRA and Right to Life agencies own the nominating process and all they have to do is hose McCain like they did in 2000 in South Carolina and he’s toast.

    I like CSI but typically hate all reality shows. I don’t get the appeal.

    What Scriptures? Just wondering if your list is the same as mine since I am only a year older than you.

    If there is a rapture I will definitely have to change my thinking on a whole lot of passages!!!!

    24 is the best. Heroes has good potential. I love the Amazing Race. And all 3 CSI’s are must-watch for me. The only sitcom I even watch now is How I Met Your Mother.

    I actually had no idea McCain was that old till I read this…..it does give me pause.

    Troy Smith wraps up the Heisman with a win over Michigan…..I’m originally from Ohio, but not a huge OSU fan…..of all the teams with a shot, I’m pulling for the Hogs to get into the National Championship game.

    “Heroes” and “Jericho” are both interesting shows…..I’ll stay with both of them - the only 2 new ones I watch. My wife watches “Life of Brian” and likes it a lot…..”The Nine” sure is a dog - I tried about 3 episodes and bailed - so melodramatic about even the slightest thing they reveal about the hostage situation, it feels way too in love with itself…….”Prison Break” is really good this year - a great twist with the FBI agent - it is becoming a consistently intense hour of television - ALMOST rivaling “24″, but I agree with everyone here - “24″ reigns supreme - interesting that William Devane (Life of Brian) and Kim Raver (The Nine) are showing up on other shows……are they off “24″? I really thought the secretary was going to be found alive in the lake he drove his car into…..Wayne Palmer is president! - it looks like a good season of “24″ coming, though it doesn’t appear that we’ll see much in the Chinese prison - I thought that storyline had a lot of potential.

    I’m a member of that elite but ever-dwindling population that owns a TV yet has never watched 24.

    What shows do I most eagerly anticipate?
    The Daily Show/The Colbert Report, The Office, and The Street (BBCAmerica). For the first time in decades, The Simpsons isn’t in that list. But apparently I harbor a fondness for shows with “The” in the title.

  16. By Scott on Nov 16, 2006 | Reply

    NHE, I’m about done with “The Nine” as well. I love Prison Break.
    Can’t wait til 24. It looks like Raver and Devane are off at this point but with The Nine floundering she may be back. I hear that they are getting repeated calls for the cast of the nine to be used in other shows. They are being held off…for now. ABC needs help on Wed. night without “Origami with the Stars” or whatever they are showing.

    Jonathan, The Office is the best comedy on TV. I just made the theme my ring-tone. I love it.

    I think the age question is a valid one especially in light of what we now know about Reagans condition in his second term. That said I don’t think we’ll see McCain as president unless the mood of country changes alot in the next 2 years. The election in 2008 is the democrats to lose right now and unless they mess up bad or possibly if Hillary is the nominee, they won’t lose it.

  18. By Scott on Nov 16, 2006 | Reply

    What other candidates do you think are viable in ‘08 for both parties?

    I’m an Obama fan and I think he’s going to get more pressure to run that will be hard for him to dismiss.

    The conservative evangelical vote is crucial in the GOP primaries so I see guys like Romney and Huckabee making some moves on the big guns of Guiliani and McCain.
    But all that can change quickly. That evangelical vote was going to go to George Allen just a few months ago before he found himself stepping in the macaca.

  19. By nhe on Nov 16, 2006 | Reply

    On the evangelical side, I’d like to see JC Watts make a run, or at least be picked as a VP Candidate…..he had some wild “BC” days at OU though that may hurt him and preclude him from running, but I’d vote for him in a heart beat……..my one prediction is that you’ll see either Watts or Condi Rice as the VP nominee for whoever gets the GOP nod - that just makes sense at this point - especially if the dems go purely left wing like a Hillary.

  20. By John on Nov 16, 2006 | Reply

    JC Watts would be a nice pick but would he want to run. As I recall he left the house because he was a bit tired of essentially used as a token and there were rumors of some more hardcore racial stuff I believe. Condi would have the weakness of never having run for office at any level before. Plus if Bush’s approval rating stays as low as now she will be tainted by that.

    As for Romney, I think a lot will use being a Mormon against him. But I also read that he’s quietly building a network with some Mormon groups to have a very effective ground operation which would help him. Still wish we could wait a year to start having this discussion though.

    I can’t believe you’ve given up on studio 60 this early.

    Its not his best, but there are bright moments within it. I thought Nevada Day Part 1 was excellent (the resolution this week was a little less than stellar, but still better than what else is on tv)

    And I don’t like how much sorkin is giving himself strawmen to defeat. Harriet is dumb. She always sets herself up easily for Matt Sorkin (I mean albie) to trounce on. I loved on West Wing when they brough Ainsley Hayes… a strong person of a different ideological view than Aaron. She was well written and didn’t always lose arguments.

    He just has too much of an agenda, I guess.

  22. By jasonk on Nov 16, 2006 | Reply

    If Hillary is the nominee, the Republicans could put Bozo the clown on the ticket and he would win. I just cannot imagine America is ready for four more years of a Hillary Clinton presidency.

    I have eaten breakfast with JC Watts. He is a good man. But I think they would just dig up too many skeletons from his past.

    The last sitting US Senator elected as president happened more than 40 years ago. For whatever reason, America does not like to elect sitting US Senators.

    George Will has some interesting thoughts on the electoral college, and how in the past several years it has worked against an increasingly liberal Democratic party. While it is true that traditionally more liberal states like New York and California garner more EC votes, the middle states are staunchly conservative. Those middle states can easily out vote the liberal ones. So states like Ohio and Texas have the power to decide the presidency. Can you see Texas supporting Hillary, or any other liberal? Whomever the Dems put up, they had better be pretty moderate, or else they will surely lose again.

  23. By Scott on Nov 16, 2006 | Reply

    Watts, huh?
    I think Condi will be way too tainted. Unless Cheney steps down and she’s made vp. How’s that for a move? I read the Dick Morris book “Condi Vs. Hillary” I just don’t think it will fly. However, I do think many people in the GOP dismiss Hilary too easily. No matter what you say, she’s going to be a formidable opponent. I can see being even more mired in an unwinnable war, more moderates, women and minorities completely disenfranchised turning out in droves for a Clinton. You can’t overlook the Bill factor.

    There’s something about Romney that I don’t like. Just can’t put my finger on it yet. And I’ll do everything in my power to make sure that Mike Huckabee doesn’t get anywhere near the white house.

    Justin, I haven’t given up on studio 60 but the second half of Nevada Day was way too agenda driven.
    I told my wife in the middle of it that West Wing was never that political. Sorkin needs to relax and write.

  25. By justin on Nov 16, 2006 | Reply

    yeah, I wish studio 60 had been more like sports night and less like west wing. I was under the impression there would be more comedy and less drama. I was wrong. And the dramatic elements that sorkin is creating are all red state v blue state issues and its annoying, even though I agree with him more than I ever have before. I love when they make fun of the people that refuse to just not watch a tv show if it has stuff on it they don’t like. But what’s ironic, is that people really are doing that to Studio 60

    I think Amanda Peet is on her way out though. They are writing her pregnancy in and I think that will be the straw that breaks the camels back in regards to her employment at NBS. Jack’s been hinting that she’s on thin ice.

    Oh, and I think Danny is going to be the father of the baby.

    Maybe he can turn it around before the season is over. *Crosses fingers*

    The problem with Hilary is that she can’t control herself. You give just a little rope and she runs out there and hangs herself with it. Most of the Dems are that way. Look at Pelosi, almost a shoe in for speaker and she backs “cut n run” Murtha for majority leader. How stupid is it to put up the biggest libs when the party overall ran on conservative issues and as a result she gets here nomination thrown back in her face by the party electing Hoyer. Dumb move on her part but like I said they just can’t help themselves when they get a little bit of power.

    Hilary would lose hands down, just don’t think America is ready for a woman leader, might not ever be, dunno.

    Watts could run and maybe Huckabee but not now too late. Like I said this is going to be another lesser of two evils presidential election.

    I wouldn’t overstate the impact of her backing Murtha. Was it a misstep? Yes. But it’ll be a footnote come January.
    Do you really think they ran on conservative issues or they ran on look how badly the boys in power are doing?
    I’m no Democrat apologist but does nobody else see the mistake in completely dismissing Hilary’s chances?

    Scott you are right about underestimating Hillary. I never thought Bill would be elected president, and I never thought Hillary would be elected Senator. Never underestimate the moronic decisions people are capable of making ;>)

    She is such a lightning rod, though, and I see people coming out of the woodwork to oppose her.

    What’s wrong with Huckaby? My dad was involved in a car accident while traveling through Arkansas, and Mike Huckaby was the DA that prosecuted the driver who hit them. It was a hit and run, or some such thing. My dad was really impressed with him, and he was not running for any kind of public office at that time. But, then I don’t know a lot about him.

    I didn’t mean to insult anybody with my comment about moronic decisions. But when Clinton was first elected to office, I was in my mid twenties, and honestly thought at the time that a person would have to be stupid or lost or both to vote for him. As I matured, I learned to appreciate him for his leadership abilities. Some friends of mine were honored to meet with him at the White House, and they told me some great stories about his intellect, and his ability to work the room.

    As for the men who bracketed Clinton, do not sell these guys short. Both graduated from Yale. W graduated with an MBA from Harvard. Both are pilots, W was a jet pilot, and Sr. was a combat pilot. These guys may not be the best public speakers, but they are much smarter and crafty than you think.

    Bill Clinton, combined with the republican revolution, ended up being a great thing for our country. He was a conservative democrat, who wanted to balance the budget, and he had a congress that would do it. Together they reformed welfare, and did other great things. Raising taxes wasn’t the best move, but apparently we were pretty close to the peak on the laffer curve, otherwise it would have harmed the economy.

    But Bill Clinton with a liberal democrat congress, bad things would have happened.

    I think the best political situation in this country right now is the gridlock we’re going to have. GWB has veto power to veto ridiculous spending bills and the dems can check his power with regards to the war in iraq.

    HOpefully nothing will happen for two years. Maybe Libertarians emerge as a prominent third party rather than some bigoted populist anti immigration party or something

    Scott, you know how we feel about Huckabee. I have been a strong Republican for years but recently i will admit i voted for a Democrat for Governor. Huckabee has gone agasinst 5 board members he appointed on 3 different occasions and a Court Judge. We are currently trying to find out why with the help of another person. Yes, political reasons is why he has shunned his duty as our Governor. He is not Presidential material. That is all I am willing to say at the present until we see why he chose not to go with the unanimous vote by his board on three occassions.

And thanks to Clinton you get to have 52% of your bonus checks taxed!!! Yippeee. But will agree that neither GHWB nor GWB have been all that beneficial to the economy, it was beneficial to have a ‘checks’ and ‘balances’ in place with bipartisan leadership. Dem pres and GOP congress.

    I agree with Justin that it may be good to have the Dems in power on the legislative side to keep things in check. Let’s hope it works.

    Clinton secretly tried to introduce a one time tax on each person’s retirement savings–IRAs, annuities, 401ks, etc. Had it gone through, it would have been a disaster. Thank goodness he did not succeed.

    I still say that we are living in the midst of one of the greatest economies in recent memory. Low unemployment, low inflation. Not perfect, but a great economy. Let’s see how long it takes Congress to screw it up.

    Scott, don’t sweat the attitude toward Huckabee. I have issues with some of my former colleagues who did some pretty mean things to me. They did not reflect Christ in their actions toward me and my family. I still have some bitterness when I think about it, but then, not a one of them has ever come to me to ask for my forgiveness. So I am learning to forgive unilaterally. But as Patty Griffin said in a song, “it don’t come easy.”

    Oh, and I am still holding onto LOST but it is losing me. What they do with it in Feb is critical.

    I’m so disappointed in the turn that Gilmore Girls has taken. The characters aren’t even the same anymore! The whole storyline with Lane and Zach is annoying and over-the-top. Oh well- at least we had a few good seasons.

    I agree: The Office is the best sit-com (last night was brilliant!) Studio 60 lost me once Brian came back on. Still enjoying The 9, but sometimes they make it difficult.

    Jenny, I knew I liked you. Isn’t “What About Brian” great? I really hope more people will discover it.
