I was looking at my Flickr stats tonight and it turns out the photo of me with Shawn Michaels is one of my top viewed. No surprise there. But I was looking at some various photos along the way and am somewhat amazed at how I’ve changed over the last 2-3 years. And there’s still more to go…

Huckabee won Kansas today and is leading in Louisiana right now. He’s also only McCain by roughly 300 votes in Washington with 70% of the precincts reporting….
“I know the pundits, and I know what they say: The math doesn’t work out,” Huckabee said Saturday morning at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington. “Well, I didn’t major in math, I majored in miracles. And I still believe in those, too.”
From NPR:
If you heard Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee’s victory speech on Super Tuesday, you may have noticed him speaking in what is almost a separate dialect. Some listeners have even asked us what he was talking about. So NPR headed off to the National Mall in search of people who understood Huckabee’s biblical allusions.
It proved almost as hard as getting a camel through the eye of a needle.
Seems like much of Huckabee’s Christianese may be confusing people. What about our our language and conversation. Are we using terms that others may not know?
The popular Christian question “What would Jesus do?” is not an especially useful one, Wills notes, for Jesus did many things we would not, and should not, do. Should Christian believers today, Wills asks, “like Jesus, forbid a man from attending his own father’s funeral… or tell others to hate their parents?… Are they justified in telling others, ‘I come not imposing peace, I impose not peace but the sword’…? Or ‘I am come to throw fire on the earth’…?” Such moments in the Gospels, Wills writes, “were acts meant to show that he is not just like us, that he has higher rights and powers… [as] a divine mystery walking among men.”

“We must ask what Jesus meant by his strange words and deeds. In other words, if we focus on what Jesus said without determining what He meant in his original context, we run the risk of misquoting Jesus even when quoting His words.”

Steven Colbert and Mike Huckabee answered my questions from yesterday.
Huckabee made a “surprise” visit to the Colbert Report yesterday and told Colbert he was still in the race and can still beat McCain – especially in Texas because he understands BBQ. Sounds good enough to me. 🙂
Wonder if the critics will get mad because Huckabee didn’t share the Gospel while on the show either….
Watch the fun…
Apparently Mitt Romney loved America so much, he could not subject it to a Romney presidency and if he keeps running – we let the liberals, aka terrorists win.
Romeny also complains that Europe doesn’t have enough god. But the jihadists have too much god. America apparently has it all balanced.
