Cheeky Exegesis

by

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.


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.”
