Was thinking today how much I miss talking with one of my old Goodboys friends, Jay “Crusher” Spielberg. I hope he’s doin’ OK, but I don’t have his number. So, with that in mind, here’s a couple of other Jays that help make up for that – at least a little bit.

First, here’s a great post from Jay Adkins, talking about those who consider themselves athiests – a topic I’ve posted on before at this humble spot. From his post:

To say categorically, “There is no God,” is to make an absolute statement. For the statement to be true, I must know for certain that there is no God in the entire universe. No human being has all knowledge. Therefore, none of us is able to truthfully make this assertion.

If you insist upon disbelief in God, what you must say is, “Having the limited knowledge I have at present, I believe that there is no God.” Owing to a lack of knowledge on your part, you don’t know if God exists. So, in the strict sense of the word, you cannot be an atheist. The only true qualifier for the title is the One who has absolute knowledge, and why on earth would God want to deny His own existence?

A great post from Jay, it’s well worth reading in its entirety.

And then there’s Jay Severin, a talk-show host on Boston’s WTTK (96.9 FM). While I don’t always agree with him, a recent rant he gave on the Clintons was absolutely spot-on. You can find the text here (thanks, Free Republic!), and from there you can click on the audio. It is, as they say, priceless.

And how could you not have a “Jay” discussion without talking about the Toronto Ble Jays? Seems they’d be willing to listen to trade offers for starter A.J. Burnett. I’ve always liked his arm and would love to have him in Boston, but there’s no way the Blue Jays would allow him to go to another team in their division.

…BTW, I’ve always loved The Beatles’ song “Blue Jay Way” off of their Magical Mystery Tour album…
