Extremely Obvious

March 11, 2013

I read this story today on a website so bad it’s embarrassing, and it seems to me so beyond obvious that this is not the whole story.

Greg Rodriguez, the host of A Rifleman’s Journal was shot and killed last night in Montana.

Police say he was enjoying a glass of wine at a female friend’s home when her husband came home and immediately shot and killed him.

The husband then proceeded to beat up his wife, drive her and their two-year-old child over to a relatives house, return to the scene of the crime, and eventually his own life.

Ugh. What a devastating tragedy.

Local sheriffs won’t speculate on the husband’s motive, but they’re confident this is an “open-and-shut” case of murder-suicide.

A Rifleman’s Journal was a popular hunting program on the The Sportsman Channel.

Below is a list of topics “trending” (I think I’m using this correctly here) on Jezebel.com.  This makes me feel something, and I don’t know what it is, but it ain’t good.

I am happy to take on the job of Blog Euthanizer, even though I know no such thing exists yet.  I am, however, someone of a prophet when it comes to technological advances in that a few years ago, I predicted the coming of the E-Undertaker, a person who dismantles the social media of someone who passes away.  What I would like to do is troll the Internet and destroy blogs that are horribly maintained –– the exact rules will be determined by a tribunal of “experts” who will be gathered together in a conference room at a midtown Marriott some time in April.  (To apply, contact Siobhan.  You know how to get her.)

According to the Times, science tells us that a “Mediterranean diet” could reduce your risk of heart disease.  Somebody back me up here –– wasn’t that common nutritional knowledge by now?  (Do we just feel better that we can quantify it?)

CHARISMA MAGAZINE

—

Each year, freelancers write 80 percent of our articles, but we

assign most of these to writers who have established themselves

with us. In most cases, we only give article assignments to writers

with published clips. All Charisma articles, with the exception of

the shorter stories (specified below), should be between 1,800 and

2,500 words in length. More than half our readers are Christians who

belong to Pentecostal or independent charismatic churches, and

numerous others participate in the charismatic renewal in mainline

denominations. Charisma Media is a leading creator of diversified

Christian resources that empowers believers for God’s purpose. Our

vision is to inspire people to radically change their world.

What exactly is an “independent charismatic church?”  Anyone?
