http://abcnews.go.com/Business/print?id=2582776 If recent college graduates apply for a job at Killian Advertising in Chicago, they'd better mind their grammar, spelling and punctuation -- not to mention their sentence structure, syntax and diction -- lest they end up in the company's "Cover Letters From Hell" that it posts on its Web site.
Six years ago, Bob Killian, owner and founder of the agency, began posting anonymous excerpts from poorly written cover letters he received from those asking for employment.
The mistakes ranged from unfortunate omissions ("I am seeking a new positi...

http://www2.steamboatpilot.com/news/2006/sep/10/brent_boyer_seeing_red/ A Colorado fan sees the light.
From http://www2.steamboatpilot.com/news/2006/sep/10/brent_boyer_seeing_red/
I emerged from the bowels of Memorial Stadium a lone Buffalo on the Great Plains.
In the weeks leading up to my trip, I had thought nothing of flaunting my Colorado Buffaloes gear in enemy territory, but my pre-game confidence quickly gave way to the realization that I was outnumbered — 85,181 to one. Me. Alone. And yes, even a little bit scared.
Of course, I would soon discover I had nothing to fear...

http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewNation.asp?Page=/Nation/archive/200608/NAT20060804c.html A bit of a history lesson...
(CNSNews.com) - People sweltering from a heat wave in the Mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. might find cold comfort in the fact that the temperatures of the past few days are not the hottest on record. That "honor" belongs to a summer 76 years ago -- decades before the controversy over "man-made global warming" began.
"From June 1 to August 31, 1930, 21 days had high temperatures that were 100 degrees or above" in the metropolitan Washington, D.C., area, Patrick Michaels, s...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=396609&in_page_id=1770 A typical working parent spends just 19 minutes a day looking after their children, official figures revealed yesterday.
The startling research shows the devastating impact that working full-time has on children who hardly see their parents.
With less than 20 minutes spent with their parents every day, this is only enough time to eat a quick breakfast together or have a couple of bed-time stories.
The Office for National Statistics looked at nearly 4,950 people over the age of 16 in B...

http://desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/gallery?Site=D2&Date=20060704&Category=NEWS&ArtNo=607040805&Ref=PH&Params=Itemnr=1 I have to confess I sort of chuckle when I see a mentally challenged individual. The naive grin, maybe the malformed features--they just cause me to feel superior.
Every once in a while I'm humbled by a touching story or picture of a retarded person which makes me realize how inferior I really am. Inferior in that I am the one who needs the attitude adjustment. Inferior in that I am the one who is sad and pathetic that I need to feel superior to anyone. Inferi...

The ethical storm over abortions has been renewed as it emerged that terminations are being carried out for minor, treatable birth defects.
Late terminations have been performed in recent years because the babies had club feet, official figures show.
Babies are being aborted with only minor defects.
Other babies were destroyed because they had webbed fin...

http://www.getreligion.org/?p=1603 A great post by Mollie on GetReligion:
Billie Stanton says her journalism profs at the University of Arizona 30 years ago were relentless about balance and objectivity. “Every angle must be covered, and if you had any bias, it better not show,” she writes. “This credo served me well for many years. When some talented Denver Post reporters covered an anti-gay referendum later overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court, their bias showed. Repeatedly I demanded rewrites to give the homophobes’ side equal credence.”
Mollie asks:

How sensitive is Earth's climate? Sufficient to warm by at least several degrees in response to greenhouse gas pollution but perhaps not as sensitive as some scientists have feared, according to a new study.
Climate sensitivity is a measure of how much the global temperature will warm in response to greenhouse gas emissions, explained Gabriele Hegerl, a climate scientist at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.
The measure speci...

There IS a problem with global warming... it stopped in 1998
By Bob Carter
(Filed: 2006-04-09)
For many years now, human-caused climate change has been viewed as a large and urgent problem. In truth, however, the biggest part of the problem is neither environmental nor scientific, but a self-created political fiasco. Consider the simple fact, drawn from the official temperature records of the Climate Research Unit at the Univer...

http://www.getreligion.org/?p=1515 Here's one of the better blogging entries I've seen covering this "Gospel of Judas" frenzy that has the media gushing with excitement. As someone who has studied the canon and early church history, I can tell you that the article is spot on.
I love the way AP characterizes Irenaeus’ theological whooping of the Judas-adoring Cainites. “Sorry guys but you differ from mainstream Christianity.” That’s like saying the Flat Earth Society was denounced for differing from mainstream cartography. I also love the Pagels quote. Really? The Gnostics didn’t thin...

http://teampyro.blogspot.com/2006/04/mystery-quotation.html Phil Johnson had an abosolutely profound way of explaining the bondage of the will. As posted by James Spurgeon at Team Pyromaniacs:
You DO have more than one option. What you do not have as an unredeemed sinner is the moral capacity to choose the right option. Sinners HATE God and have no taste for righteousness. Therefore they will never make a righteous choice.
No one is denying that they have a choice. What we're denying is the idea that their wills are inclined neither to good nor to evil, so that they have an equal c...
