Morning Report, September 15th: In the Falling Tower, Poor Sports, Medium is Message, Farewell to Swayze, Rock>Megan Fox's Brain, Child Brides, Racist Babies, and Changing the Culture of Death

One Christian’s perspective on the day’s news: 1.  INSIDE THE TOWERS.  I neglected to mention this on the anniversary of 9/11.  But here is a gripping, astonishing account of one person’s experience inside (and getting out of) one of the World Trade Center towers on that horrible day.  This included many aspects of what went [...]

Public Droption Dropped, the Blue Dog Battle, one Weiner of an Argument, Iranian Nukes, Obamanauts, Obama Goes Brazilian, the Amazing Disappearing Cargo Ship, and the Perils of Worldview

1.  Interesting spin coming out of the White House and Congressional leadership about the deterioration of the health care reform effort.  Suddenly, they announce (or see the NYTimes article here), they’re no longer going to try to include the Republican party in their solution.  This is absurd, but it’s excellent rhetoric.  The Dems have made [...]

1.  MSNBC’s Ed Schultz suggests that Jesus would want universal health care.  I’ve received messages to much the same effect from Jim Wallis and Sojourners.  Jesus, to be sure, would want for his followers (and all people) to respond compassionately to the needs of the sick and the poor.  But it’s a long way from [...]

Morning Report, August 3: Christians Killed in Pakistan, Perinatal Hospice, Single-Payer, and the Michael Jackson and Sarah Palin Dramas Continue

August 3, 2009 By

NOTE: The Morning Reports have been growing too long, in my estimation, so I will offer the links with fewer comments. This will not only make the Morning Reports more manageable to read, but will leave me with more time for other blog entries. So, without further ado: 1.  We have some great articles up [...]
