Barack Obama

Some of the best commentary I've read; kudos also to Andrew Sullivan.

I've never forgotten: Jesus was a community organizer too. Revolutionized history. Terrible crimes committed falsely in his name can't change that.

Thinking also of one of President Obama's favorite theologians, Reinhold Neihbur, whose name I can never seem to spell correctly. Regardless, it helps to understand this president if your read his own North Star as well. It totally staggers me that the same state could produce such a theologian for the ages, and then Pig Boy too. Guess which one's better known, at least among the general public. Cosmic comedy.

Speaking of which, it's time for me to get offline and address my own load of work at home. So hard to squeeze in everything before it gets too hot to breathe or to leave my signal booster in an open window. I'll be soooo glad when I don't have to guest on a friend's wi-fi signal anymore. Even during mild weather the signal's only fair at best. Frequent drops. I don't like to use bandwidth any time I think he might need it either, because why should he suffer for his generosity?
