Remembering Roe vs. Wade
Posted by: | CommentsDear Uncommons,
No long winded blog here, just a couple things for your learning pleasure.
Attached please find a magnificent article from the most recent World Magazine. I made a .pdf of the 8 pages, so almost anyone can download and read it. I would advise that, too, as there’s some rather outstanding insight to be gleaned.
Below is the ‘Abortion Provider Map’ you hear being discussed in yesterday’s show during the 3rd segment. I figured it would be nice to have should you listen.
We hope you take a serious interest in the lives of the unborn. We at the ‘Uncommon Show’ believe that God will judge us based on the way we treat life, the way we value life. We desire to hear no more the ‘strawman argument’ of ‘DEFINING’ life (as is the mantra of the Left), rather, let us argue for the inherent rights and value of what is clearly and inescapably human life.
If you like use this when someone pulls the, “Well, we really don’t know when it’s a person, when it’s life,” line: Read More→

Bury Me at Wounded Knee
Posted by: | CommentsIf you had to win one game, what Quarterback from NFL history would you pick to win it? It’s arguable but you would hear names like Elway, Unitas, Montana, Marino, or Starr. If you narrowed it to QB’s still playing you’d hear Manning (Peyton), Brady, or Brees. How many names would you go through before you got to Cutler? Would you hear Orton before Cutler? What if you narrowed it to just the NFC: Brees, Vick, dare I say Favre? How about the NFC central: I think it’d be a wonderful day in Mr. Rodgers neighborhood before you looked to Chicago and some would even pick the kid in Detroit or the ? (possibly McNabb) who will QB in Minnesota. Would we have to narrow it to professional QB’s in Chicago or would that risk the embarrassment of hearing the name of young Caleb? One thing we can all agree on Jay Cutler is better than Todd Collins. Jay Cutler, on the sidelines with his IPod doing his best impression of a kid with ADHD, is better than Todd Collins.
It’s not like we weren’t warned, folks. Read More→

SOTU – The Uncommon Response
Posted by: | CommentsI was informed on Tuesday afternoon, that I had drawn the short straw and had been nominated to watch our President’s State of the Union address last night. After profuse thanks to the bearer of that good news (thanks Parson!!), I grabbed my pad and pen in order to bring you the Uncommon Show’s response to the SOTU.
If you haven’t seen the speech, here it is:

Sticky: Discussing Politics from the Pulpit isn’t Christian?
Posted by: | CommentsLast week, during fellowship time, I stumbled across someone who had been attending Grace Gospel Fellowship (the Church I gladly call home) for 20 years, who in conversation with me said he/she doesn’t like it when Pastor John Kirkwood talks about politics, and that he/she prefers it when the pastor focuses solely on the Bible.
A similar sentiment was expressed recently by someone who contacted Grace Gospel Fellowship via the website:
“Can I attend a church that doesn’t give their personal beliefs on political issues. Just teach the bible according to the gospel of grace, that is it, nothing more and nothing less. I don’t need to hear about socialism, democrats or republicans. Please JUST STOP!!!!! It makes me not want to even listen anything you all say.”
(Yet, I bet this person could have listened to Bill Hybels’ December 5 message and judged THAT as apolitical). Read More→

Sticky: An Uncommon Call for Creativity & a Contest!
Posted by: | CommentsDear Uncommon Ones,
If you’ve been following the show as of late you are undoubtedly aware that the Parson & the Cleaner have been having a little fun developing the idea of “Hell’s Harem.” Hell’s Harem started out like this:
We understand that in Islam it is legal for a man to marry up to 4 wives. (I know, I know, we dumb males in the West are rather confused as to what we should do with just the one, let alone four! Nevertheless…) So the idea was who would be about the 4 nastiest women a Muslim could wed for all time and eternity? We initially came up with these delightful choices:
1. Joy Behar
2. Rosie O’Donnell
3. Roseanne Barr (And yes, she’d only be allowed to sing the National Anthem.)
4. Janeanne Garafalo
Here was the ‘First Draft’ our photoshop expert & producer Michestopholes came up with:
Pretty horrifying, ain’t it? Yes, we were pleased, too. All seemed final, however, in keeping with our normal manner, we kept the thought process at full throttle. (You just can’t shut genius down at will, you know.) And then it hit us.
Western students of Islam, particularly since 9/11, are culturally aware of the concept of the 72 virgins awarded to the dutiful servant of Allah if he dies in the act of serving his faith. You see, in Islam there is absolutely no other assurance of Heaven for the typical adherent. However, if you die a martyr’s death – usually commencing with the phrase “Allahu Akhbar” being uttered, followed immediately by an exploding vest loaded with C4, nails, ball bearings & tacks – well, the good times are about to roll!
As Christians we obviously do not accept any such premise. In fact, it’s reprehensible, if not downright absurd. So, being rather absurd ourselves, we wondered what *might* await a Muslim who dies a martyr’s death if the Parson or the Cleaner were to have any say in the matter. And at that thought we began our search for the 72 most wretched loony leftists we could imagine!
We imagined a kind of ‘Beatlesque’ scene, reminiscent of the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart’s Club Band cover, if you will. There were a lot good things going on in that thing, as you may recall. And that’s what we aim to do! We’re looking to corral the 72 nuttiest, nastiest, most annoying liberal women of all time to keep our determined Muslim jihadis comforted for all eternity. Once we’ve decided we’re going to have Michestopheles do a magnificent photoshop of the whole scene.
And that’s where you come in, dear Uncommon friend. We’re looking for your input. See, we’ve got some ideas, about 47 to be exact, but we’d like to hear from you! In return for the most useful input, whoever that may be, we vow to reward the effort with the ‘Most Fabulous Object in the Universe!’ (To be determined later.) Isn’t that something? We are the gracious ones…
Here are the rules:
1. It can be any women, dead or alive, who is/was an unhinged raving moonbat liberal. The more annoying the better!
2. Should probably be a hag (most libs are, actually, check it out on Google), as even a modern Hollywierd beauty of a lib might considerably desirable over some we’ve already chosen.
3. Obscure isn’t necessarily bad, so dig deep! Very few people know all the characters on the Sgt. Pepper’s album cover, so a little mystery should be present. Half the fun is in the search!
And that’s about it. Below is the (continuing) list as it stands so far, cross check with it before posting your ideas:
5. Helen Thomas (The Dame of our Harem!)
6. Whoopi Goldberg
7. Sandra Bernhard
8. Hillary Clinton
9. Eleanor Clift
10. Janet Reno
11. Janet Napolitano
12. Cindy Sheehan
13. Jane Fonda (An older pic will do, she’s that dang annoying!)
14. Madeline Albright
15. Nancy Pelosi
16. Susan Estridge
17. Wanda Sykes
18. Arianna Huffington
19. Sonia Sotomayor
20. Ruth Bader-Ginsburg
21. Moichelle Obama (Really, how does the man do it?)
22. Kathy Griffin
23. Amy Carter
24. Theresa Heinz-Kerry
25. Yoko Ono
26. Margaret Cho
27. Christiane Amanpour
28. Andrea Mitchell
29. Barney Frank (Oh yeah, that is SO happening…)
30. Rosa DeLauro
31. Maureen Dowd
32. Maxine Waters
33. Dorothy Tillman
34. Rachel Maddow
35. Randi Rhodes
36. Elena Kagan
37. Barbara Walters
38. Oprah
39. Sally Jesse Raphael
40. Betty Friedan
41. Anita Dunn
42. Frances Fox-Piven
43. Sheila Jackson-Lee
44. Kristina Vanden Heuvel
45. Chastity Bono
46. Margaret Sanger
47. The Wicked Witch of the West (She really had no appreciation for American values, did she?)
So, we need more, please put your thinking caps on and let’s see who is the most creative amongst our listeners. The world’s jihadis are counting on you! I’ll leave you with an image likely to scare straight even the most mean spirited and misguided mujahadeen out there, our Grand Dame, Helen Thomas!
Hoo wee! “…She’s a beauty, she’s one in a million girls…!!”
Good luck to all,
The Cleaner & the Parson
