Guess Who’s More Popular Than Jesus?

…about it, are the criteria by which one is deemed heroic. As you scan the list, think about the life (and death) of Jesus, and about how awesome Obama must be to have surpassed the Son of God in categories that seem to heavily favor a JC victory: The Harris folks, loathe to be misunderstood, included this caveat in their digest: The fact that President Obama is mentioned more often than Jesus Christ should not be misinterpreted.

A Pope, a Poet, and a Drug War

…g that his presence might console a troubled nation. A Culture War Laundry List It is no coincidence that the coming Easter season prompted Sicilia’s impassioned plea for papal solidarity.

The Jersey Shores of Tripoli: MTV and Arab Revolution

…5 foot-longs, and our tremendous fiscal discipline. Friedman likely made a list of 50 things that could possibly explain the Arab revolutions and was too uncritical of his own consciousness to realize his own bias. He then pulled as many of these reasons as he could fit into his regular column. But Friedman shortchanged China (he sort of got that), and missed both Turkey and MTV’s Jersey Shore. China In the last 10 years, as we’ve been bogged down…

…and describing Moorish Science—which in many of its Chicago manifestations promotes a “sovereign citizen” ideology wherein Moorish nationalism is, counter to Noble Drew Ali’s original teachings, incompatible with American citizenship—as having the “primary objective” of “connect[ing] African Americans with a proud heritage, thereby circumventing the stereotypical picture of Africa, its inhabitants, and their black American descendants as savage an…

Doonesbury Cartoons Cause Controversy, But for Wrong Reasons

…rasound bill “is that, when presented with all the information, every person can make the right choice, the only choice, life.” And if you are thinking of the “wrong” choice? Texas and other states require doctors to warn women of a list of medically-debunked ills that, I noted recently, “reads like a list of plagues God will rain down on a disobedient people.”  Trudeau’s satire might work better if he focused on that, rather than repeating the da…

Anthony List targeted Democrats who first held up health care reform by demanding the inclusion of the Stupak Amendment (restricting abortion coverage) but then voted for the final bill.
