National debt tops 13 trillion and counting

Unborn baby concerned about national debt

Story here at the Washington Times.

Excerpt:

The federal government is now $13 trillion in the red, the Treasury Department reported Wednesday, marking the first time the government has sunk that far into debt and putting a sharp point on the spending debate on Capitol Hill.

[…]At $13 trillion, that figure has risen by $2.4 trillion in about 500 days since President Obama took office, or an average of $4.9 billion a day. That’s almost three times the daily average of $1.7 billion under the previous administration, and led Republicans on Wednesday to place blame squarely at the feet of Mr. Obama and his fellow Democrats.

What is he spending money on? New benefits for the same-sex partners of federal employees.

Recession? What Recession? It’s party time in the White House.

Friday night video game music from Castlevania

Leave a comment

ECM thinks that I’m not crazy enough to post video game music like he does, but I am.

For those who want to read something good instead of listen to Friday Night Music, then you can read Binks’ round-up, which has news of Rifqa Bary, and of Maryam and Marzieh, the two women from Iran who have been in jail for their faith.

Castlevania: Curse of Darkness

Abandoned Castle

Eneomaos Machine Tower

Mortvia Aquaduct

Baljhet Mountains

Castlevania: Lament of Innocence

Dark Palace of Waterfalls

Garden Forgotten by Time

Leon’s Theme

Two Bonus Remixes

I like to put the top down and listen to Mortvia Aquaduct at night on long distance drive.

By the way, any of my regular readers can friend me on Facebook. I’m also on Skype! And I love to get e-mail, even though I am bad at replying to them sometimes.

Happy Friday!

Audio and video from the recent Licona vs Carrier debate

3 Comments

Mike Licona just e-mailed me about his re-match with internet infidel Richard Carrier, who takes an extremely skeptical view of the New Testament.

The audio and video are linked here on 4truth.net.

Details:

On February 11, 2010, Michael Licona and Richard Carrier faced each other in debate for a second time. Topic: Did Jesus rise from the dead? The debate occurred at Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas in front of an estimated audience of 750. There are two video segments. The first is the main part of the debate (opening statements and six inquiry periods lasting 10 minutes each). The second is the audience Q & A.

The full MP3 (debate and q/a) can be found here. The MP3 links at 4truth are not actual MP3s as of this moment.

This is a cross-examination debate, so it should be very fun to watch/hear.
