Interesting story – a Christian satellite channel is apparently one of the more popular channels in Iran. This stood out: …SAT-7 [has] deliberately chosen not to tackle political issues and focuses instead on the message of hope and peace. “I think we attract viewers in these times, because they’re looking for an alternative message. They’re…

Thank you Andrew Sullivan for finding this. Can someone come up with a good haiku for high cows? Winner will get a $15 iTunes gift certificate.
