No comment needed

Here is one of those news items that make you cringe. It is a report of an instant poll taken after the president's State of the Union message last evening [1-27-10]

"According to an instant poll conducted by the University of Minnesota's Opinion Research Institute, 90 percent of Republicans who did not see the President's speech strongly disagreed with it."

"Additionally, 95 percent of Republicans polled agreed with the statement, "If I had seen the President's speech, I'll bet I would have hated it even more."

Davis Logsdon, who supervised the poll, said there were certain difficulties in polling Republican voters: "Many of them would not let us finish asking the question before answering 'No.'"

Truly, no comment is needed.

And now for somthing completely different...

I gave Facebook a try, but it was a disaster program that I could never master. I have a long web address, and I had to enter it like fifty or sixty times a day to access even my own site! It was also a quirky, buggy program that did strange things. So, I deactivated that mess, which leaves me only my blog as a site where I can perhaps contribute. It has been a long time since I got serious about my blog; indeed, I had forgotten my login information, but BlogSpot was quick to resolve that in a way totally different from Facebook.

Now that I have left FaceBook, maybe now I can spend a bit more time here to discuss things that I want to discuss - like things theological and Biblical. But I don't want to make my blog only a religious site, but I want to include materials and content on politics and social issues of our day.

So, I am glad to be back, and will begin in earnest soon to contribute content here.

Greetings to all my friends.
