April 28, 2005 | Posted by Steve It took me a long time to discover the pseudo-reality show “The Apprentice.†People had been raving about it for more than a year before I finally watched an episode one night while working out in the basement. “The Apprentice†is chock full of wonderful insights into the world of business and leadership. I offer [...]

April 28, 2005 | Posted by Steve That great President, Teddy Roosevelt, was known as much by his favorite catch phrase as by his charge up San Juan Hill. “Bully! Bully!â€, he would cry when he was signifying his pleasure with someone or something. Well, Teddy would probably be shouting “Bully! Bully!†if he were alive today, but it wouldn’t be out [...]

April 28, 2005 | Posted by Steve Once again, I just found out that I’m not a “real†Christian. (Yes, this isn’t the first time I have started a NoMoreGreed essay that way.) I thought I was a “real†Christian, but after listening to excerpts from the “Justice Sunday†telecast sponsored by the Family Research Council I have been forced to arrive [...]

April 28, 2005 | Posted by Steve President Bush really bugged me this morning. He said something pretty innocuous during a “fluff piece†interview on the Today Show that underscores why the man has approval ratings hovering at historic lows for a lame duck President. George Bush lacks something that every 2 nd term President needs in abundance if his legacy is [...]

April 21, 2005 | Posted by Steve When George Bush rode to power on the claim that he would institute a more ethical, more accountable style of government a lot of folks bought the promise hook, line, and sinker. It was like watching a school of ravenous, underfed, large-mouth bass pouncing on a shiny, new spinner bait. Americans had become so jaded [...]

April 21, 2005 | Posted by Steve Anyone who is a regular reader of NoMoreGreed.com knows that I occasionally put my own church on the NoMoreGreed radarscope. It’s a big church. It wants to be bigger. In the quest to become truly gargantuan, (the number 10,000 has been bandied about), we have done some oddly nutty stuff to attract bodies to our [...]

April 21, 2005 | Posted by Steve Tom McGinnis, the radio voice of the Philadelphia 76’ers has a great line I’d like to share with you. “ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!†It comes out of his mouth with the predictability of an atomic clock whenever he sees something outrageous take place on the floor. Tommy, my boy, right about now I need to [...]

April 19, 2005 | Posted by Steve On The Passing of the Papacy… John Paul was a decent enough fellow. He spoke often and eloquently for the cause of peace and justice. He opened new avenues of dialogue with Muslims, Jews, and other world religions even as he reaffirmed the centrality of Jesus as the Light of the World. He also showed [...]

April 18, 2005 | Posted by Steve My jaw hit the floor of my truck when I heard the numbers. 75,000 Americans. 20 billion dollars in revenue. You might figure that when 75,000 people get a $20 billion handout from Congress it must be to fund research into some rare disease. Or, knowing Congress, it might just be the world’s biggest greed-grab. [...]

April 13, 2005 | Posted by Steve A NoMoreGreed reader sent me a link this week to a web site in support of a very important environmental cause. The avid camper and outdoorsman in me is a sucker for this kind of stuff. First the details. The Upper Delaware Preservation Coalition (UDPC) is a committee dedicated to protecting the Upper Delaware River [...]
