Scary, not nasty
“Dad, do you like horror movies?” This is the question my 29 year old daughter asked me yesterday. Karen and I are in Alaska visiting her and her husband. It was a rainy day, so we decided to go to a movie. I told her I used to love horror movies until they changed. I don’t know exactly when it happened, but horror movies went from being scary to being nasty …
Journalists are now less popular than Congress!
You have two sources for the unvarnished truth: Quiner’s Diner and Jodi Miller, ace investigative reporter for NewsBusted.
Jodi breaks new stories this week:
The telemed abortion debate rages in Iowa
“Human life begins at conception, and the fact that different stages are given different names does not mean that some stages are not human …”
Seward’s folly
The year was 1867.
Russia’s biggest rival was England. Russia owned a huge chunk of land they called Russian America. It was land that would be difficult to defend in a war with England., whom they had already fought in the Crimean War. England had a base in British Columbia in close proximity to Russian America.

Seward, Alaska
By Tom Quiner I won’t be posting a whole lot for a week. I’m sitting in Seward, Alaska, basking in the beauty of some of God’s greatest work. Alaska is beautiful! I trust the world can function without me for awhile.
