The Roald Dahl problem: Is it right to remove disturbing language from works of literature?

Lord Buckbeak

“James and the Giant Peach,” by Roald Dahl, illustrated by Lane Smith. (Penguin Random House/TNS) Penguin Random House/Penguin Random House/TNS Bookmark: Once again, the books of Roald Dahl have been rewritten to remove words and phrases that might offend. Years ago, when I was a small girl, I used to listen to “Chapter a Day” on Wisconsin Public Radio. When the host read aloud from “The Wind in the Willows,” I read along with my own copy of the book. I remember being deeply confused when we came to the line where Ratty calls Mole, “You silly ass!” and the … Continue reading The Roald Dahl problem: Is it right to remove disturbing language from works of literature?

Lord Buckbeak

By  Amy DeLaura, Field Producer – for the Washington Examiner February 14, 2023 08:29 AM Transgender people in sports have begun to populate the high school and collegiate sports arena. The Washington Examiner spoke to one college athlete who went up against transgender swimmer Lia Thomas and tied in a race.

Does Your Brand Have Multiple Personality Disorder? A Look at Brand Archetypes

Lord Buckbeak

According to the results of a recent online self-evaluation, I am an ISFJ (Introverted, Observant, Feeling, Judging) personality. Whether or not you’ve ever taken such an assessment, you are well aware you have a personality all your own. We are each unique individuals, but there are shared traits that allow us to classify and make sense of ourselves and our society. And so it is with brands. Humans are built for connection. We tend to personify things, including brands. We give them meaning and form relationships with them based on how they interact with us and the world, what they stand for, … Continue reading Does Your Brand Have Multiple Personality Disorder?

What can we learn from this iconic brand? f you’ve never heard the story of how Betty came to be, it’s all here on the Betty Crocker website. Spoiler alert: Betty’s not a real person.

The Feminist Economy: Men without Work

Lord Buckbeak

By GEORGE GILDER – January 23, 2017 – for National Review Men without Work: America’s Invisible Crisis, by Nicholas Eberstadt (Templeton, 216 pp., $12.95) From the Amazon review by Charles C. W. Cooke. Nicholas Eberstadt’s landmark 2016 study, Men Without Work, cast a spotlight on the collapse of work for men in modern America. Rosy reports of low unemployment rates and “full or near full employment” conditions, he contends, were overlooking a quiet, continuing crisis: Depression-era work rates for American men of “prime working age” (25–54).   The grim truth: over six million prime-age men were neither working nor looking for work. Conventional unemployment measures … Continue reading The Feminist Economy: Men without Work

Op-Ed: The dark side of Kwanzaa’s founder can’t extinguish the holiday’s beacon

Lord Buckbeak

By Chanté Griffin – Dec. 23, 2018 3:10 AM PT – for The LA Times My cmnt: This poor deluded soul found out a little of the truth about Kwanzaa’s founder but not all of it. See Ann Coulter’s column here for the rest of the story. I discovered Kwanzaa while attending Pomona College. Separated for the first time from my family and the black Pentecostal church I had attended at least three times a week, I craved black culture.

Happy Kwanzaa! The Holiday Brought to You by the FBI

Lord Buckbeak

December 28, 2022by Ann Coulter – her column My cmnt: Ann publishes every year the truth about Kwanzaa and its origins and founder. This is a necessary service as the democrat-media-education complex lies about it every year. This complex continues to indoctrinate young skulls-full-of-mush (thank you to the late, great Rush Limbaugh) on the various campi throughout America never daring to reveal the whole truth about this FBI originated “holiday” just for black people. It seems like all I hear these days is how liberals are red-hot for teaching history, while retrograde troglodytes on the right are demanding that we … Continue reading Happy Kwanzaa!

The Nicene Creed

In Liturgical Churches, it is said every Sunday as part of the Liturgy. It is Common Ground to East Orthodox, Roman Catholics, Anglicans, Lutherans, Calvinists, and many other Christian denominations.

Charles Dickens Christmas!

Lord Buckbeak

Learn how Charles Dickens influenced the celebration of Christmas Christmas was dead, to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. Ok, borrowing Dickens’ opening lines from A Christmas Carol may be a bit over-the-top, but there is some truth there. At the time Dickens wrote his time-honored little Christmas book, the celebration of Christmas was in decline. The medieval Christmas traditions, which were based on the ancient Roman festival of Saturnalia (a pagan celebration for the Roman god of agriculture), and the Germanic winter festival of Yule (Forbes, 2007, p. 10), had come under intense scrutiny by the Puritans under Oliver … Continue reading Charles Dickens Christmas!

What is the purpose of life?             

Lord Buckbeak

By Lord Buckbeak 7/28/22 It goes without question that God has placed us, completely and miraculously, on this earth for a purpose. But what is that purpose? The Westminster Catechism asks the question this way: “What is the chief end of man? The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy him forever.” This is certainly a clear and direct answer to the question of purpose for all sentient, created beings – from angels to archangels, cherubim to seraphim, men, women and children – we are all created to glorify God by enjoying his presence forever. But this … Continue reading What is the purpose of life?

The institution of marriage cannot be erased

Lord Buckbeak

BY KEVIN ROBERTS, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR – 07/30/22 – The Hill My cmnt: I’ve added the David Brooks essay on the nuclear family referenced below to my website. I don’t think the author of this piece, Kevin Roberts, read it. Brooks is not arguing to get rid of marriage but rather to bring back the extended family Dr. Dobson often talked about. Conservatives have ceded far too much ground to the forces of the sexual revolution. Yet on marriage, society’s most foundational institution, some Republicans are ready to give away more. Though history, scripture, the common law and scientific data tell us that … Continue reading The institution of marriage cannot be erased

Homosexuality is being accepted in prominent conservative, Christian circles. Here’s proof

Spencer Klavan during an October, 2020 interviewYouTube screenshot DougMainwaring Oct 7, 2021 – for Life Site News My cmnt: Homosexuality remains a sexual sin but its real damage to the Church and Western culture is the repudiation of the headship doctrine taught by the Apostle Paul and others.

Why The Left Hates God, Family and Country

By Scott Hogenson | Oct 22, 2022 | for Townhall.com Rob Schneider is a funny guy.
