Attaway, Outrage, and Prediction for Week 1, 2010

Posted on: 2010-01-08 08:42:56

I listen to "AFR Talk":http://action.afa.net/Radio/ in the morning on the way to work... specifically the "Matt Friedeman Show":http://inthefight.wbs.edu/, and every Friday morning they do "Attaway awards, outrages of the week, and a prediction for the days to come."

Since my commute is only roughly about 7-10 minutes, I figured that I'd start documenting it here instead of trying to call in... so here we go!

h3. Attaway Award

Gotta go to "Brit Hume":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brit_Hume when on the Fox News Network, told everyone watching that

bq. The extent to which he can recover seems to me depends on his faith, he’s said to be a Buddhist, I don’t think that faith offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith, so.. my message to Tiger would be, “Tiger, turn your faith–turn to the Christian faith, and you can make a total recovery and be a GREAT example to the world.”

There have been a whole slew of people beating him up over it. A "Haredi community was asked to speak out against his comments":http://content.usatoday.com/communities/Religion/post/2010/01/jerusalem-spitting-brit-hume-christianity-evangelism-/1. People are "calling him intolerant":http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/01/07/AR2010010703244.html and are "asking him to apologize":http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/opinions/articles/2010/01/08/20100108frilets087.html and "take a class in religions."

Brit Hume explains himself more in a "Q&A Article in Christianity Today":http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2010/januaryweb-only/11-42.0.html. The fact that he is getting lashed at by other proves that God is at work here. If we all were so lucky!

h3. Outrage

During his presidential campaign, "Obama promised to put the Healthcare negotiations on C-SPAN":http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/01/06/eveningnews/main6064298.shtml. Now he wants them to be secret. Downright shameful.

h3. Prediction

It's going to be a "cold weekend":http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=76502. Also, the "cold weather will cause big media to forget about Global Warming":http://noteviljustwrong.com/blog/general/317 for a little while, until it's time to push their agenda again.

I would encourage you to post your attaway, outrage, and prediction each week and share them with us.
