Guilty admission

This morning after seeing the news on CNN, I reported to Leah, “Cheney wasn’t killed today.” I even pondered what would happen in the administration if Cheney was killed. Does this make me a horrible person?

Why is this news?

When so much is going on in the world today, why does the White House think it wise to attack John Kerry over a mis-statement?

Graphic novels and p*rn

The Powells blogger is totally pissed that somebody in MO wants to censor library copies of Blankets and Fun Home because they contain comics of a sexual nature. They must be p*rn then, right?!
I read Blankets, checked it out from Austin Public Library even. The autobiographical comic tells the story of two brothers [...]

I don’t think too many chuches have state Supreme Court justices who play the organ

Kimmy’s post (wherein I am mentioned) has a link to a WaPo article which states that Judge Nathan Hecht brought Ms. Meirs to church with him. At the church where he plays the organ . . . which made me realize that is the church I went to with my aunt and uncle!!! The [...]

Jim Wallis in town again

Just because I can’t go doesn’t mean you shouldn’t. Jim Wallis will be in town tonight to speak at El Buen Samaritano. He is one of the best speakers I’ve ever heard. I imagine he will speak about faith and politics – perhaps faith in the face of disaster? [...]
