• The Crowhill Irony. 2006-01-20 2:00 AM.
  • Commentary

  When I first came across the CW (the Crowhill Weblog) in a Google search, I was amazed at the irony I found. Here was a man proudly displaying his family crest and using the “crow hill” translation of Krähenbühl in his domain name. At first glance, I thought it was pretty cool. 218 words.

  • Commentary

  I’m reeling a little from GK’s January 20 post, Arthur C. Clarke on magic. Where in the world did this topic come from? He’s debunking that famous quote, “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic,” as if Mr. Clarke just said it yesterday and not, like, 50 years ago. 420 words.

• Professor Wars. 2006-01-25 1:00 AM.
  • Commentary
  • thomaskrehbiel.com
  
  Yesterday, the Crowhill Weblog referenced UCLA controversy might herald new front in culture wars, an article by Gwendolyn Driscoll. Perhaps you can guess GK’s viewpoint on the matter. Ten points if you picked, “college professors should only be robots programmed to recite conservative-government-regulated teaching curriculums.” (It’s remotely possible that I’m not stating his viewpoint fairly.) 356 words.
• The War On Culture. 2006-01-27 3:12 PM.

  Whoa, I had almost forgotten about the Crowhill Weblog. GK’s been flying under the radar lately, just posting links to articles (half of which were sent in by other people). But now it’s time to put on my “Crowhill media watchdog” hat again, for it is my sworn duty. 331 words.

• Crowhill on SOTU. 2006-02-01 7:48 PM.
  • Commentary
  • thomaskrehbiel.com
  
  Imagine my surprise to find a parody of the SOTU on the Crowhill Weblog (The crowhill version of the state of the union speech). When I read it, I was shocked right down to my socks; it was actually kind of funny. And here’s the really scary part: I actually agree with some of his points. 285 words.
• Academy of the Martial Arts. 2006-02-02 4:30 PM.
  • Commentary
  • thomaskrehbiel.com
  
  Yesterday’s Crowhill post, “Boy” defined as “obstacle to female-defined success”, contains some alarming content. 129 words.
• Busted. 2006-02-03 3:19 PM.
  • Commentary
  • thomaskrehbiel.com
  
  Ruh roh.. I’m busted. I guess I’ll have to be a little more civil now. :) It’s pretty amazing how fast things happen in the ol’ blogosphere. 99 words.
• Grrls Rock!. 2006-02-03 7:09 PM.
  • Commentary
  • thomaskrehbiel.com
  
  [Originally drafted January 9, 2006.] 322 words.
• AFA Missed A Memo. 2006-02-10 8:03 PM.
  • Commentary
  • thomaskrehbiel.com
  
  In Little Christs and little Mohammeds on the world’s stage, GK muses that Christians generally don’t respond when they’re insulted, because of the difference between Jesus’s sacrificial death and Mohammed’s glorified life. I see his point, but somebody forgot to tell the AFA–they sure throw plenty of hissy fits when they perceive Christians being mistreated. Granted, Mr. Wildmon’s idea of “mistreatment” is, of all things, exposure to public radio waves, but the principle is the same. 109 words.
• Banning Kale. 2006-02-20 2:23 AM.
  • Commentary
  • thomaskrehbiel.com
  
  One of the more popular (secular) arguments I hear against same-sex marriage appeared recently on the Crowhill Weblog (Why same-sex marriage isn’t just about somebody’s “rights”). It goes something like this: By allowing same-sex marriage, the same-sex philosophy is forced onto people who don’t agree with it because they have to “accommodate” it. This argument usually comes in response to a “live and let live”-type statement. 375 words.
• Tuesday Smorgasbord. 2006-02-21 8:12 PM.
  • Commentary
  • thomaskrehbiel.com
  
  A smorgasbord of topics today as I sit here in agonizing pain from a strained neck muscle. 591 words.
