Why Children Shouldn’t Vote
Whenever anyone asks me, “John, do you think children should be allowed to vote?” I quickly respond with an emphatic, “NO!” Sometimes they’ll clarify. “John,” they’ll say, “I mean really little children, like between the ages of 3 and 5, should they be allowed to vote?” To which I respond, “I understood your question the […]
Tipton, Terror, Blazing Amazon Jungle

Preview Chunk from My Comedy Book
I’m writing a book. That’s the reason my blog activity has diminished over the past few weeks. The book is sucking up all my energy, creativity, and joy. It’s a lot of work and I’m getting tired. It doesn’t feel like it’s ever going to be finished. So I’m publishing a chunk of it here […]
When Someone Says They’re Racist – Believe Them.

In the dark ages (aka: the 1980’s) I had to wait for CCM Magazine to tell me which people were worthy of […]
