From my friend Jen’s blog about her time in Haiti… She has managed to put words to something too awful for words… This was one of those days that just makes you wonder what the heck you can even do in a place like this. There are so many who are sick. The needs are…

A great post on the commercial (literally) exploitation of the Beatles music… what got me is the horrifying thought that one day this could happen to U2’s music… Perhaps my fondness for the Beatles is slipping into dogmatic obsession, but I’m really bugged by the sloppy sublicensing their music is currently being subjected to. Adweek…

When Tyler Perry’s new movie buried the new George Clooney flick and the new Cate Blanchett and Mark Wahlberg films as well, a lot of people began to ask why. USA Today has a succinct answer: Perry has managed to tap into a tough fan base, one that rarely goes to movies. Married’s faith-based audience,…

Here is an unusual thin place – or perhaps there are no unusual thin places: Charlottesville, Virginia 9:20pm, September 2007 I’ll admit this is a bit silly.

Two different points made on my first Warner post – PatientWitness writes: Ironically enough, I think that if God had miraculously cured the elbow injury of a football player after not healing young Mitch last month, I might have ceased to believe or, at the very least, would have ceased to care for such a…

Is this a picture of Pope John Paul II appearing in a fire in Poland at a cerermony marking the second anniversary of his death?

A couple of my favorite Colbert moments. 😉

Stephen Colbert took over Maureen Dowd’s column in yesterday’s NYT… I’d like to thank Maureen Dowd for permitting/begging me to write her column today. As I type this, she’s watching from an overstuffed divan, petting her prize Abyssinian and sipping a Dirty Cosmotinijito. Which reminds me: Before I get started, I have to take care…
