OK, so you've got this incumbent president ready run on his stellar record in office, right? If so, why bribe the voters with a chance to have dinner at the White House? Can there possibly be more blatant Oprah-esque manipulation of the electorate? Watch for yourself and try not to gag on the saccharine:

How Often Does THIS Happen?
This past week something unprecedented happened in the realm of left-leaning journalism. Rather than bury a correction or retraction on Section Z, page 29, the producers of This American Life used an entire hour retracting a January 6 episode featuring an account by Mike Daisey telling of abuse and deplorable conditions in Apple's Chinese Foxconn factory.
I guess we should take retractions and corrections where and when we can get them, since much of the left's narrative is half-truth and spun anyway, but I'm gratified that when the chips were down This American Life had the guts and integrity to take an hour of broadcast/podcast time to set the record straight.
Here is a Bloomberg story about the retraction to the Foxconn story:

The Tiresome "Debate" Between Science and Faith, an Aging Red Herring
Apologies for having not posted for a while.
This NPR story, an interview with Christian philosopher Dr. Alvin Plantinga, is several weeks old, but recently addressed in a podcast I regularly listen to ("Reasonable Faith"). While the interviewer is somewhat clueless about the issues and terminology, Dr. Plantinga's clear genius rises above it all. Enjoy!
