From today’s NYT in an article about the amazing disparity in income between chief executives and those in proximity to them: But the widening disparities in business, which show up in a variety of other ways, reflect a dynamic that is taking hold across the economy:”the growing concentration of wealth and income among a select…

I have a friend – I will not reveal her sex, her liberal politics, or which website employs her, to protect her identity. We were talking recently about writing and the book that she longs to write. The only problem with the book, she said, is that the proposal is only half written. How good…

Billy Graham’s library opening and Jerry Falwell’s funeral provide massive insights into the power of Jesus’s Gospel and its impact on politics. At Rev. Falwell’s funeral this week none of the important political people he spent his life trying to influence showed up. There were no presidents and no current Members of Congress. No presidential…

Begun by a bipartisan group of congressmen, the challenge is to live: …on an average food stamp budget — just $3 a day – …for one week in order to raise visibility and understanding around the challenges that millions of low-income American’s face in obtaining a healthy diet…

In our day and age of political harshness, of the politics of divide and conquer, of everything else nasty going on we need to be able to count on certain people to be sensible. President…

Applause and applause for the immigration compromise. America needs to be known for our compassion – we once were. Newt Gingrich calls it a “compromise of every conservative principle” – if that is the case then conservative principles need a lot of reexamination. John McCain embraces it and good for him. If, as some say,…

At Jerry Falwell’s beloved university, a new generation of Christians are maturing and they are… not what you would think of when you think of Falwell students. Take, for example, this blog post by a student named Johnnie: When Christians hear of moral travesties, of murdered men and mangled cities, they must begin to end…

Ok, per comments, I will give heads up on future media appearances – there aren’t any. 🙂 Here, however, are links to some I did this week: NPR “All Things Considered” Larry King Live – here and here and here and here and here (in five parts thanks Youtube) There were several more – Glenn…
