Avicenna on the Law of Non-contradiction

 "Anyone who denies the law of non-contradiction should be beaten and burned until he admits that to be beaten is not the same as not to be beaten, and to be burned is not the same as not to be burned."

I decided to do a little tribute to Tony Snow. I couldn't think of anything better than to post some of his better moments as White House press secretary. Take it away, Tony...

Tony bangs his head on podium




And to close things out, Tony plays the blues...

Tony Snow, 1955-2008

Former White House press secretary, journalist, columnist, political commentator, and all-around good guy Tony Snow lost his battle with cancer early this morning.

Tony Snow, in my book, you're one of the few.

Full Betancourt Interview

Former FARC hostage, Ingrid Betancourt, is interviewed by NBC's Ann Curry. I found the interview quite interesting. In the full interview, Betancourt discusses how her faith sustained her and how God answered her prayer. Needless to say, not much of that part of the interview made it "on air".

A Feline Funny

My close personal friend, Muzzy, has posted a video cartoon that only cat owners can truly appreciate. If you don't laugh out loud, you will at least chuckle (pun intended, for those in the know).
