Dr Jim West » Martin Shields’ Guide to Gematria
Posted 54 minutes ago

The obvious example of the use of gematria in the Bible is in Rev 13:18 where we are told: “let the one who has insight calculate the beast’s number, for it is man’s number, and ... [Link]

Dr Jim West » What Exactly is it that Obama Is Going to Change?
Posted 72 minutes ago
It certainly isn’t much, if his picks for Cabinet and White House staff positions are any indication. In fact, it looks like politics as usual on the horizon.

MEGAN MCARDLE ON AUTO BAILOUT TALK: “By far the most optimistic estimates in the financial community come from the people who have virtually no dealings with Congress. Anyone who does, recognizes that this is not going to be bridge financing towards a massive restructuring. I’d wager even the supporters in the DC area would admit that GM is probably going ...

ILYA SOMIN:  ”Polls routinely show that most Americans give very low approval ratings to Congress as a whole, but give much higher ratings to their own representatives. Count me among the minority that would give an even lower rating to their own representative than Congress as a whole. That’s because my representative is Jim Moran.” [Link]

My throat is sore. I feel very sick. My birthday was yesterday. I am now 26.Due to being sick, I am probably going to be much more ornery than normal, and make more references to “fuck”, “dick”, and – maybe – “cockhole” – than normal. Sorry.

Maybe that's why after 17 years without putting out a single album of original material, somebody still cares that Axl is going to drop some new music on us in ten days.No, I won't be buying, but that's not ...
