A Hodge Podge, a Compendium, a Smorgasborg, a Veritable Potpourri!
Hosts: Larry Fain & Stan Cox
Finally, we get away from election talk, and cover a “hodge podge” of different issues. The President-elect is still top on the list, but we talk basketball, stem cell research, abortion, Sarah Palin, Providence, Toothless and Hairless Dogs, and Gay Marriage. Now you understand the title!
Show Notes:
- Obama the Con Man. Satire, not fact. But… isn’t there a little bit of truth in every successful satire?
- Obama’s Agenda - Executive Orders. It looks like the first order of business when Obama is sworn in is the issuing of executive orders on social issues like stem cell research and abortion. Obama has Clinton insiders and liberal activists seeking to determine how much damage can be done, and how quickly they can do it!
- Quirky Obama News. Two quick notes: First, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban voted for Obama. Why? And is his reasoning legitimate. Second, Peru has offered the Obama family a four month old hairless/toothless UGLY dog. Ain’t that sweet?
- What Will Palin do? And Is God Telling Her to Do It? Stan and Larry discuss the inaccurate slant of an AP article about Palin’s possible plans to move from the Alaskan capital to the Senate. Is she hearing the voice of God? Or trusting His Providence. Should her words concern Christians?
- Gay Marriage In the News Again. Connecticut State Supreme Court ruled that the state must allow gays to marry. The people of California voted to amend their constitution to ban it. Who has the momentum? Is it inevitable that Gay Marriages will become legal throughout the nation?
- Stan’s Weekly Rant: Apathetic parents lead to out of control, and underperforming children. Parents, when you abdicate your duty, you disobey God, and handicap your children! To read Stan’s rant for the week, click here!
- Larry’s Bible Verse: Ephesians 6:1-4. Stan rants, then Larry backs up the rant with scripture. The text Larry exposits clearly establishes the responsibility, before God, that parents have to raise their children right.
- Stan’s Software Review: Skype, and PrettyMay. The two programs that make Watchman Digest possible. Skype (the telephony software) is free, and PrettyMay (used to record the Stan and Larry’s conversations) costs $25. You can be a podcaster like Stan and Larry. But we were here first!

If the Democratic lead federal government does mandate homosexual unions must be given the same rights as heterosexual marriages; I think there will be people trying to remove all state relation to marriage. In other words; the state will only have civil unions and the state will offer nobody marriage certificates. I kinda like the idea from a seperation of church and state idea (and I don’t think it will pass) but it’s a bit scary. You will have teenagers declaring themselves married, and there is really no one to tell them they aren’t… And if they are, divorce becomes troublesome.
But, as I said, it will never pass.
You ought to be upset with parents. Parents are the biggest problem with this country. (Yeah, chew on that.) The point is, proper parentage will reduce those on welfare, those on street corners, those in prison…
I get the feeling that I’m going to be the impedes for a war once I get involved in the public school system.
But I worship at the alter of God and logic (by the way, God is logical) and both will go a long way to correcting the social ills of this country and this world.
