I’m no fan of Ann Coulter, so I don’t really want to be writing about her. But I came across this article from David Kuo’s blog and thought it made some points worth reading. While it is nothing new – nothing we don’t already know – perhaps it is still something many need [...]
Lewis Black’s weekly “Back In Black” segment on The Daily Show often makes me laugh out loud. This week was no exception. “Real news”… classic.
Update: The youtube video has been removed, and there doesn’t appear to be another one available. However, you can watch the video here.
My eMusic subscription provides me with 75 downloads per month, which usually amounts to around six full albums (not bad for $20.) Thanks largely to that subscription, I now have over 50 new albums this year alone. That’s beyond what I’ve ever acquired in a single year, most likely, much less in [...]
As a regular viewer of The Daily Show, one of the things I enjoy the most (besides the humor), is the frequency in which the nightly guest is an author/writer. Being one who loves to read, I’m always interested in the authors and their books that are featured on the show.

On Monday I mentioned Michael Moore’s new film Sicko and his recent appearance on Letterman. This morning I read this review of the film by Christianity Today magazine. Here are a few quotes:

I’ve visited The Work of the People before, but it’s been a while. Here are a couple of videos they’ve posted recently that are worth watching. Check them out.
The Worship Industry featuring Brian McLaren
Eight Dollar Hot Dog featuring Chris Seay
One question they ask in the second post is: “How do we deal [...]
It’s not a secret that I love hard music. I first heard hard rock band Project 86 about six years ago on Webrock.net. They used to play the song “One-Armed Man (Play On)” in their regular rotation, and it quickly became one of my favorite songs. I acquired the album (Drawing Black [...]
I’ve never seen any of Michael Moore’s work. I used to assume he was up to no good, largely because of my “everything not republican/conservative is evil” glasses I used to wear. However, I will probably see his newest documentary, Sicko, at some point. I doubt I’ll head to the theater to [...]
Staying busy again this week, little time to post. This may be it for the week. However, you can now see some of what I’m reading when I have a little time here and there in my “Recent Reads” section in the sidebar. Here’s a few other things…
Faith & politics
