		<description><![CDATA[One reason that I don’t understand why some Christians fear open-ended scientific investigation is that there is only one source of truth – God.&#160; Every path that leads in the direction of truth leads in the direction of God.&#160; Any open-minded researcher who does not contort his particular path to point in a philosophically preferred <a class="read-the-rest" href="http://www.curmudgeons-progress.com/christianity/forgiveness-by-any-other-name-is-still-liberating/">Read the rest </a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know; it still drags on for a few more days. What little interest I had evaporated when the U.S. team lost to Ghana. I watched about 15 minutes of that match, an experience that only confirmed my dislike of watching soccer in general and the World Cup in particular

		<description><![CDATA[Most parents of recent high school grads who are now preparing for freshman year at some distant college or university are around 40-60 years old. That is, they are a generation or more removed from what their college experience was (or what they would have expected it to be had they gone).&#160; And I suspect <a class="read-the-rest" href="http://www.curmudgeons-progress.com/culture/off-to-college-is-your-kid-prepared/">Read the rest </a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Lords of ESPN have apparently decided they don’t need many viewers this month. After regular showings of games from some British soccer league, they have decided that World Cup soccer is just what American sports fans are pining for this summer. Or maybe they’re not so sure &#8211; they’ve been inundating their viewers with <a class="read-the-rest" href="http://www.curmudgeons-progress.com/culture/espn-entertainment-and-soccer-programming-network/">Read the rest </a>]]></description>

Sports writers continue to give evidence of the wisdom of Knight’s choice.

		<description><![CDATA[Al Gore has a huge financial interest in the myth that human activity causes global warming.  Perpetrating the fraud of AGW (Anthropogenic Global Warming) has made him even wealthier than did his family&#8217;s tobacco business.  And he&#8217;s prepared to defend this lie with the same zeal with which he and the tobacco companies <a class="read-the-rest" href="http://www.curmudgeons-progress.com/culture/a-blizzard-of-lies-from-al-gore/">Read the rest </a>]]></description>
