Daily Mail Straw Poll

I've posted a new poll asking which Republican presidential candidate you would vote for. The poll is in the left-hand column, or you can access it by clicking here.

I voted for Duncan Hunter. He hasn't flipped on anything. He's built a wall in San Diego to combat illegal immigration. He voted for a war which he has sent his own son to fight in (3rd tour coming up). He's tough on Iran. Tough on China. Solidly pro-life. His vote ratings:

• A+ National Rifle Association
• 100% Eagle Forum
• 100% National Right to Life
• 92% Lifetime rating, American Conservative Union
• 100% Concerned Women for America
• 100% Christian Coalition
• 100% Campaign for Working Families
• 7% ACLU (that's right, 7%)

Besides, if he's good enough for Chuck Yeager, he's good enough for me! He's just the sort of ideological conservative we need in la Casa Blanca. Who are you supporting?

Worst Christmas Songs

Looking for something else entirely I stumbled upon Giant's list of the most annoying Christmas songs of all time. Warning! Clicking on the following link will take you to an article containing non-Daily Mail approved language! Here's the link. Despite their foul language, Giant came up with a pretty good list. I've made it the new poll to the right. If you think one is missing, let us know below!

New Poll

I finally got a ticker on here re: Christian persecution. It's not quite what I was after, but it'll do. This all relates to the new poll question about threats facing the Church. We can talk about it below.

I'll kick off the discussion here by saying that whatever ills face the Church, "the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" (Matthew 16:18). Just curious what you think is making the best effort at prevailing!

New Poll--MAYONNAISE!

The old poll was up forever, but I was pleased with the results. NCAA Football and Basketball combined for 50% of the vote! I'll choose to ignore some of the current college football headlines and say "Hurray" for the amatuers over the professional guys!

But on to the new . . . Mayonnaise! This seems to be a love/hate thing, so the question is "Yay" or "Nay."

Also, what brand do you prefer? I have come to believe that Duke's is the best. Here's something about Duke's from wikipedia:

In the Southeastern part of the United States, Mrs. Eugenia Duke of Greenville, South Carolina founded the Duke's Product Company in 1917 to sell sandwiches to soldiers training at nearby Fort Sevier. Her homemade mayonnaise became so popular that her company began to focus exclusively on producing and selling the mayonnaise, eventually selling out to the C.F. Sauer company in 1929. Duke's Mayonnaise, still made to the original recipe, remains a popular brand of mayonnaise in the Southeast, although it is not generally available in other markets. Of special note to diabetics, Duke's mayonnaise is the only major mayonnaise available in the United States which does not include sugar as an ingredient.
