From the Mind of MandoRon

As the day wears on, the tension in the air thickens. Tempers flare. Nerf guns are drawn. The cubicle farm quickly becomes a battlefield. Who will be left standing?

Since my Demotivation post from March continues to get so much traffic, I thought I would show the latest demotivational poster from the fine folks at despair.com.

Seriously… I get “demotivation” hits from search engines nearly every day. It’s #2 on the all-time most popular MandoRon post list. It trails the God of This City post by only 7 hits…

Who would’ve thought?

By now you’ve probably heard some of James Dobson’s comments about Barack Obama. On Tuesday’s Focus on the Family radio show, Dobson discussed a 2006 speech and made a lot of accusations about Obama’s faith.  You can read the news story here.

I think James Dobson has done a lot for America, and I really respect his ministry.  However, I think he’s gone off the deep end here.  To be fair, I haven’t listened to Dobson’s broadcast, but you can listen to it on his website.

I did, however, read the speech in question.  I highly recommend taking 10-15 minutes to read Obama’s Call to Renewal speech from June 28, 2006.

It’s an incredible speech about religion and politics. 

I don’t agree with all of his politics, or all of his decisions.  But based on what I read here, Obama is definitely a man of faith and a strong Christian.  I think I agree with his “religion”.  And I think Dobson took comments out of context and distorted Obama’s words.  Who knows why…

Don’t take my word for it.  Don’t take Dobson’s word for it.  Go read the speech. 

I’m a conservative, evangelical Republican.  But reading this speech really makes we want to vote for Obama.  … And Dobson lost some credibility with me today …

What do you think?

I’m currently sitting in the living room watching Raiders of the Lost Ark. 

I went to Target tonight to buy cat litter, and I saw it on sale for $10.  I just couldn’t pass it up.

It’s hard to believe that it came out 27 years ago.

Here comes the big boulder!  Run Indy. Run!

Hmm…

Not only is this a rather short Share-it Saturday, but it’s also - d for some odd reason.  Not quite sure how that happened.

• Los shared a rather amusing Father’s Day card.
• With the recent announcement of gay marriages in California, many people have protested in different ways - letters to the newspaper, blogging, protests, etc… I love the fact that these people wrote a whimsical song and made a music video. Weird Al would be so proud.
