Associated Baptist Press – Fear Not: What does virtual rumor-mongering say about Christians?
The answer to the man’s question below is that there is a distortion in the groupthink that lets Christians project their own flaws onto others and by doing so obscure whatever self-reflection they might have had. This, of course, is true for other groupthinkers, too.
“So, why are Christians so willing to believe unsubstantiated rumors? And [...]
YouTube – Michael Jackson They Don’t Care About Us
Saw This Is It yesterday. Highly recommended! The dancing alone was astonishing. Michael Jackson should not be dead. This is one of the songs he was going to sing on the tour. Lately, I’m thinking a lot about the economy and how people relate to others. This song resonates for me:

A List Apart: Articles: Getting to No
“Five red flags

Oh yes they will. Bank on it.
Be on the lookout for these classic signs that can lead to Costco-sized bottles of antacid.”

Editorial – Credit Card Chicanery – NYTimes.com

“Congress blundered badly when it gave the credit card industry as long as 15 months to phase out the deceptive and predatory practices that were outlawed in a new law enacted in May.

PolitiFact | Coulter says husbands rarely beat up their wives
PolitiFact rocks! I saw Ann Coulter on The Sean Hannity show (while channel surfing! I admit to liking/watching/even Tivo’ing Geraldo, but that’s the extent of my Fox News viewing) and thought her comments about husbands not beating up their wives nitpicked a serious issue. I wrote to PolitiFact and they did a fantastic job of [...]
Why the NFL and corporate America reject Limbaugh and Beck | Media Matters for America
“Limbaugh last week learned the overdue lesson that there are real-world consequences for trafficking in hate speech. That there are free-market penalties, including the fact that the NFL decided for itself that it can’t, and won’t, be connected with Limbaugh.
It’s the same lesson Glenn Beck learned this year when he discovered that his niche, on-air [...]
a little pregnant: New rule: Don’t read comments, ever
“Every time someone declares that infertile people should accept their lot in life and adopt, they should be required by law to adopt a child themselves. To put their money where their mouth is. Shouldn’t be a problem, right? I hear it’s a piece of cake.
And every time someone says that infertile [...]
