A Few More Thoughts on the Ground Zero Mosque

There’s a little more that needs to be said about the Ground Zero Mosque.  I’ve described the nuts and bolts of it here.

Supporters of the mosque’s construction like to create several intellectual dodges in order to bolster their opinions.  I’ve already addressed the first one: that it’s legal because it’s in the Constitution and in [...]

Baby Barack Doll

The perfect gift for butthurt Obama voters concerned about their Messiah’s significant disapproval ratings.

Movie Review: Avatar

We went to see Avatar at the local IMAX 3-D theater yesterday.

The 3-D experience was quite remarkable.  I’d read about people feeling nauseous upon seeing it, but all I experienced was a mild headache and eyestrain from the effects.  I still prefer 2-D, though, and won’t be seeing any other 3-D movies for some time; [...]

A Few Words on Sarah Palin

As usual, I am late to the party, but I have work responsibilities, among other things.

Recently, Sarah Palin’s memoir Going Rogue came out.  Despite that she was and is the lightning rod for many critics, is a former vice-presidential candidate, and happens to be the former governor of Alaska, the Washington Post had someone pan [...]

Fort Hood Shooting

Until we have some hard facts, I’m not going to speculate about motives, responses, any of it.

The families of the dead have my deepest condolences, and the wounded have my best wishes for a complete recovery.

Gigantic, Pithy Post About the Recent Elections

I spent all day installing software onto my edit suite, and I’m not even done yet.

So I got nothin’.

On the bright side, I made a really tasty batch of chicken and tomatoes and spaghetti for dinner.  So the day wasn’t a total loss.

The Goldstone Report

Called “the terrorists’ Magna Carta,” the Goldstone report is a commission created by the UN’s Human Rights Council, an organization that has been blatantly anti-Israel since its establishment.  Its stated intent was to investigate alleged human rights abuses during the was in Gaza.

In January of this year, Col. Richard Kemp, former commander of the British [...]

The Iconic Biscotti of Digital Biscotti

I love to cook, and especially to bake.  Several years ago, I made Becky a batch of apricot-pistachio biscotti, and the experience was somewhat…surprising.  Not pleasantly so.

The problem was that the recipe didn’t adequately prepare you for the difficulty of working with the dough/batter.  Mixed properly, biscotti dough acts very much like a thick paste.  [...]

Welcome to Digital Biscotti

Hi!

Digital Biscotti is my personal website.  After having run the group blog The Waterglass since its inception in August of 2003, I have decided to step down and run my own site.

Food, politics, current events, adoption issues, books, movies: all are grist for my mill.  Other things will also be discussed, many of which will [...]
