Only because it’s a Bob Dylan movie will a woman playing him probably still be cool.
Veggie Tales Coming to Saturday Morning TV
Even with the censorship, it’s a small step in the right direction. I might just break out the Cocoa Pebbles and stay in my pajamas Saturday Mornings.

New Madman Makes Debut as Anchor of Al-Jazeera Evening News
Competition Heats Up for Global Extremist Viewers
In one of the most highly anticipated debuts in network television history, last night a new madman made his inaugural appearance in the anchor chair of “The Al-Jazeera Evening News,” the nightly newscast of the Arabic-language network.
For months, underground caves around the world have been plastered with advertising trumpeting the ascendancy of Hassan El-Medfaai, the jihadist lunatic who was anointed to take over the Al-Jazeera broadcast this fall.
But with the global audience of extremist viewers fragmented as never before, the stakes for “The Al-Jazeera Evening News” could not be higher, an Al-Jazeera executive said today.
“Gone are the days when people would tune in to the nightly newscast to get their insane extremist rants,” the executive said. “Today’s global madmen are getting their terror threats on the Internet, their mobile phones, and even on their iPods.”
Against this competitive backdrop, Al-Jazeera executives were holding their breath to see how Mr. Medfaai’s debut would be received by the global audience of jihadist whackjobs and wingnuts, a notoriously hard-to-please viewership.
While some television critics said that the white robe worn by Mr. Medfaai in his initial broadcast made him look “pudgy,” the Al-Jazeera executive said that such critiques “miss the point.”
“The only legitimate question would be, was he insane enough?” he said. “And by any measure, he was really, really nutso.”
The executive also had high praise for Mr. Medfaai’s broadcast signoff, a simple “Death to America.”
“That’s a keeper,” he said.
Elsewhere, former JonBenet Ramsey suspect John Mark Karr said today that he loved Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin and was with him when he died.
Interview with Rick Warren
An interview with Rick Warren by Religion and Ethics Newsweekly
“Dr. WARREN (at Toronto conference): So, I wasn’t wasting my life, but God just said, “Rick, you don’t care about the people I care about the most. I care about the poor and the sick, and the needy, and the oppressed.” And I said, “God I’m sorry, and I will use whatever affluence or influence you give me to speak up for those who have neither.”
In Praise of this Mega Church
Awesome! I am not against the mega-church model though I have my criticisms and concerns (as I do of every model and style of church including ours).
This church sent out letters explaining the purpose of the local body of believers assembled in what we call “church”. Be a part of it or find some place else to “worship” (or in this case, “sit”). Contrary to popular opinion, “church” is not entertainment for the religious.
But this is great. This is Biblical. This is a church that understands its calling and removing all that is detracting from its purpose. Can’t say enough.
Whitney Houston Files For Divorce From Bobby Brown
Well, it’s her perogative. It lasted 14 years longer then I thought it would. Then after the 34th time they were arrested for drug possession, I thought they’d be doing the “Moonwalker” on their 50th anniversary. Maybe they were made for each other. I post on this because for the life of me, I couldn’t understand how this relationship lasted so long. I even thought maybe they were in love. Or he wouldn’t let her share his drug supplier if she left him.
Well, I am going out on the limb and saying that Brittany and Kevin won’t make it for 14 years but Tom and Katie, that’s forever. Pretty much because all those papers he made her sign, and the “eternal covenant” thing, aka known as the “death threat”.
I also remember reading somewhere that he used that line out of Jerry McGuire, “I’m not letting you leave, what about that?”. Wow, I think I saw a movie about this, I think it was called The Firm.
"You are a Freak…"
“Accept that your life is abnormal. Nothing about life as a ministry leader—from its emotional toll to relational demands and constant interruptions—is normal. Accepting that you are a freak with a freakish life will help you not to freak out.”
Mark Driscoll cracks me up.
