Tuesday News Bytes

Good morning gang.  Sorry for the absence the past few days.  My wife and daughters came back from their France trip on Thursday afternoon, so I was in DC for a good part of the day.  One of our vans picking up the team had a wreck on I-66 on the way out, so that caused another 2 hour delay on an already worn out group.

Friday was spent preparing for and teaching a new class for our home school co-op.  This year a friend and I are filling young skulls full of mush with the concept of worldview and how to understand current events.  This is a class of middle and high school kids where we will first learn what a worldview is, why it is important that you understand yours, and how one is formed.  Then we’ll build a defense for a Christian worldview (this is a Christian group).  We will spend the rest of the year looking at current events (I’m so happy this is an election cycle) and using what we’ve learned about our own worldview and that of the reporters, analyze the news and stories with an eye on getting to the truth.  I think its going to be a blast, and the kids seem very enthusiastic about it.

Saturday, I took a group of guys down the mighty Gauley River in West Virginia.  It is my 3rd time doing this river, but it is always a challenge.  Big water, technical execution and very chilly conditions make for a great day of white water.

Yesterday was a typical Monday in that everyone wanted everything yesterday.  So finally I have a minute to breathe and catch up on some blogging.  Thanks to the crew for keeping the ship afloat.

• I see Barry Manilow is taking a stand

Barry to Elisabeth: Your “View” is Dangerous

TMZ has learned that legendary singer Barry Manilow has pulled out of his scheduled appearance on “The View” tomorrow—because he strongly disagrees with host Elisabeth Hasselbeck’s conservative view! Paging Rosie O’Donnell!

In an exclusive statement to TMZ, Barry says, “I strongly disagree with her views. I think she’s dangerous and offensive. I will not be on the same stage as her.” Barry, taking a stand!
• Another dirty Democrat has come to light

Another dirty Democrat fundraiser: William Lerach pleads guilty to conspiracy
William Lerach.

Does the name ring a bell? He was a deep-pocketed plaintiff lawyer who cozied up to the Clintons and donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Democrats. And he got his money’s worth.
• Dems should stop panding to white men

So long, white boy

Those who have been closely following the politics of the Democratic primaries may have noticed that someone is missing—and I’m not referring to Bob Shrum, the Rev. Al Sharpton or an as-yet-undiscovered “Gravel Girl.”

I’m talking about the white male voter, or at least a certain long-coveted variety thereof. He is variously known as “NASCAR dad”—that shirt-sleeved, straight-talkin’, these-colors-don’t-run fella who votes his cultural values above all else—or “Bubba,” as Steve Jarding and Dave “Mudcat” Saunders affectionately call him in their book, “Foxes in the Henhouse.” Start looking on milk cartons for Bubba because he has vanished, and not a moment too soon: The Democratic obsession with the down-home, blue-collar, white male voter, that heartbreaker who crossed the aisle to the Republicans many decades ago, may finally be coming to a merciful end.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:


1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
