- AAS: St. Andrew's parents split over ending of short story. A twelth-grade English class at Austin's St. Andrews Episcopal School is reading Annie Proulx's "Brokeback Mountain" (the film version starring Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhall is coming your way soon). A donor thought that they shouldn't, and the school gave him his $3 million back. Good for them!
- Can you be an environmentalist Evangelical Christian? Apparently so. Richard Cizik is setting up an environmental movement ("creation care") using a pro-life stance.
- Think Progress: Hitting the Media's Glass Ceiling compares the ways the media has described Supreme Court nominees Roberts and Miers. Here's an example:
ROBERTS: "Exceptional intellect. Exceptional temperament. A conservative judicial philosophy." (LA Times, 7/25/05)You've come a long way, baby! Or so they say, anyway.MIERS: "She makes a wonderful sweet potato pie. Many marshmallows." (AP, 10/3/05)
Time to keep track of the born-again greens, I guess.
Cizik's positions are interesting, in the "if the Book's leteral, then the whole Thing's literal" sort of way.
I reach for original thought, but all that comes is something about "strange bed-fellows."
