Random Thoughts 6/5/10

• Tomorrow is the 66th anniversary of D-Day, 6/6/1944.
• The Hobbit movies lost their director, Guillermo del Toro. He's still involved but scheduling conflicts means he can't be the director of the two Lord of the Rings prequels. This isn't a total loss if Peter Jackson, the producer, would become the director. But the wrong director could ruin this project.
• 87% of Americans would like to make English the nations official language. How in the world do we not make that happen with that kind of support? Our laws and history are written in English; citizens need a command of the language if they're going to preserve their rights. Here's a great map of English speaking countries.
• Charles Krauthammer does an excellent job of explaining the predicament that Israel finds itself in and what options it has left. For my part, I'm just flabbergasted that the American left can be so overtly anti-Semitic, a la Helen Thomas.
• John Wooden passed away yesterday at 99 years of age. God bless a great basketball coach and a great Christian man.
• Only a weak-minded socialist who believes they are dependent on the government for handouts fills out the census "to get my fair share."
• Everything you need to know about 4G cell phones here.
• My wife is making 200 homemade cinnamon rolls for church tomorrow. We might set a record attendance.
