This is an interesting image of correlative sins derived from the seven deadly sins.

It’s an interesting way of visualizing the links between “deadly sins” and “sins” or “crimes.” For example, the admixture of greed and wrath is, according to the image, is mugging, while fat men in speedos is listed as a mix [...]

The image, if you look closely, is a man setting fire to two large bon-fire stacks of rifles surrendered to Tanzanian police after a program to rid the country of firearms

SFGate: Day In Pictures:

The link will take you to a video of St. Petersburg Florida’s finest ruining what little shelter homeless people have.
Under the auspices of a “fire threat” about 25 officers of the St. Petersburg Police Force took box cutters to a tent city. Occupied by homeless men, women and children the tents were cut at [...]

Turns out the Methodists are standing up to their boy, and his library.

Go there and read all about it, and possibly even sign it.
To my great surprise one of the first names on the list is Bishop (Wanker) Gwinn. shiver.

While discussing Matthew 14 and 15 today, one of my fellow students asked the question: “I understand the abundance of material and spiritual goods, but what do we do with Sacramental goods?” (my paraphrase).
It’s an interesting question, one that I think has far broader consequences than often realized. After all, there is a sense that [...]

Today in ethics Matthew chapters 14 and 15 were discussed. Namely the three pericopes of: Feeding the 5000, the Caananite Woman, and Feeding of the 4000. If I can draw a card from the African Independent Churches (AIC) [1] I’d like to suggest two things.
1: That the three pericopes are actually one single Chiasm.
2: That [...]

Since the news is on facebook, and therefore public, I’d like to parrot the official announcement:
Michael D and Bethany Horn made plans to get hitched. They said bethany knows Michael through Kevin Poorman.
I am very happy for them, and wish them a lifetime of service and hospitality together. May they grow old together in [...]

Click the link below to see a comparison of Bush’s “new way forward” with the recommendations of his bipartisan Iraq study group. Simply put, the study group was ignored on virtually ever point. For instance:
DIPLOMACY
Bush: Do not engage in talks with Iran and Syria; intensify U.S. efforts to counter Iranian and Syrian influence in Iraq. [...]

While I’m all for the mashup of contemporary figures’ actions and historical philosophical positions, I didn’t see the mashup of Jon Stewart and Gandhi. While I think Dr. Kraemer makes some good points, I think calling the Daily show a non-violent, satyagraha is perhaps a bit of an overestimation of the show’s goals.
Jon Stewart’s Gandhian [...]

The Good:
I must confess that the realtime blogging at TUAW over the iphone caused an intense applegasm. I *want* one. The device converges entertainment and connectivity in a device with a truly revolutionary interface. Using simple hand gestures to control a device with only one button, the iPhone’s interface just screams “See me, Feel me, [...]

After a few months hiatus the webcam is back. Complete with cats in the window[1].
[1]: This is perhaps a lie. Dharma and Stitch are often found in the window in question.

While surfing the freebies on Craigslist I discovered this gem:
Someone pleae come take this carnivorous abomination out of my home! The damn $5 Walmart special at the checkout register thing ate my $45 poison arrow frog! Honesly man, there should be a warning on the wrapper for people to protect their little kids and cats [...]

I found this while cruising around YouTube. It’s deliciously sacrilegious.
