This is too funny, and too true. I can't say I've evangelized with the evangelicals, but all three of the other things happens every Sunday, if I go to both services at St Nicholas with the Holy Innocents. Which I've been doing lately, mostly because as a choir member I enjoy singing both services, as the music is slightly different for each. Today was especially nice as a young woman with a gorgeous, trained voice sang "Domine Deus," by Antonio Vivaldi. Also, in both services we've been singing a really pretty modern "Kyrie," by Marty Haugen, that has a soft…

I've noticed several news stories lately with a similar theme… as a Highlander fan of long standing, these kinds of things always catch my eye. Once upon a time, we fans used to groan and say "Oh, no, not again, brace yourselves for the backlash," but the media never made the connection we did between "samurai sword wielding man wreaks mayhem" and an obscure cult action movie/syndicated TV series. Featuring a samurai sword man wreaking mayhem, but for good, not evil. Charges expected in samurai sword slaying Man arrested after Highway 4 car chase Police shootings usually ruled OK…

The sky dragon has taken a bite out of the moon, and will soon be mistaking our cloud-ridden homeworld for a glass of milk. Flee! To the starboats! Flee! UPDATE: Color change – now nearly total? Even redder – pretty much looks total… [tags]Lunar Eclipse[/tags]

What was that just now about parenting models being the framework for every kind of ideological framework? Evangelicals seek to oust leader over global warming | Chicago Tribune WASHINGTON — More than two dozen evangelical leaders are seeking the ouster of Rev. Richard Cizik from the National Association of Evangelicals because of his "relentless campaign" against global warming Yeah. And that bit about Falwell preaching that global warming is a myth is referenced. He should go evangelize the Inuit for a year, that guy, and walk a mile in their mukluks. Or travel 1200 miles by dogsled, like this group.…

I already knew this, but it bears repeating: Our view of God, strict or nurturing, divides us – Nashville, Tennessee – Saturday, 03/03/07 – Tennessean.com A battle of two moralities is roaring in this country — really, a battle between two views of God — and it explains nearly everything, and nearly everyone ignores it. An unspoken conflict of attitudes toward parenting — Strict Parent model vs. Nurturing Parent — shapes the showdown between conservatives and liberals across the board, whether at worship, in Congress or on the Iraq war.

The juicy bit: the former New Mexico US Attorney has stated that he was pressured to investigate Democrats before the November elections. Because, after the elections, they'd be in a much better position to investigate political shenanigans and inappropriate White House meddling with the Justice Department. Now they have less than two years to really screw things up, appointments-wise. White House Backed U.S. Attorney Firings, Officials Say – washingtonpost.com Since the mass firings were carried out three months ago, Justice Department officials have consistently portrayed them as personnel decisions based on the prosecutors' "performance-related" problems. But, yesterday, officials acknowledged that…
