Cheeky Exegesis

The Anchoress gives us Stephen Colbert Defender of  Gospels, taking on Bart Ehrman. I  don’t know what Pope Benedict would say for the style of his exegesis?  It does feel good seeing someone getting a few good punches in there for the Lord.  I think, though, of Jesus turning the other cheek.  However,  my feistier side recalls, Jesus calling out his assailant in John 18: 22-23 when He was struck by the temple guard, saying,”If I have spoken wrongly, testify to the wrong; but if I have spoken rightly, why do you strike me?”  But, I digress.    I do like Colbert’s agility as an apologist.  However, for the sake of reverence,  feel on safer ground with Scott Hahn.


Oh My – JOY!

Thanks for this Anchoress and American Digest

Lights On? Politically InGOREct!

The District of Columbia signed on to be an official flagship city for Earth Hour 2009, a global climate change event.   While Earth Hour, brought spotty darkness across the globe, Gore apparently frolicked in the light, according the Post Politics:

“The kicker, though, were the dozen or so floodlights grandly highlighting several trees and illuminating the driveway entrance of Gore’s mansion.

I [kid] you not, my friends, the savior of the environment couldn’t be bothered to turn off the gaudy lights that show off his goofy trees.”
