Stuff that’s caught my attention recently for your inquisitive reading pleasure:
- Divorce Rates in the US – bucking the trend; lowest since 1970. Who knew? I’m surprised…
- “Church” on Broadway – Yup, that’s right. Church on Broadway and actually, received great reviews…
- Treo 755 – Jesus, please help me to resist the temptation. Let me be content with my 650. Say no to to apple iphone.
- Christian priests vs Muslim imams in a soccer match. Who won?
- Jerk of the Month and Possibly the Decade – the issue? over a pair of pants = 67 million dollar lawsuit. You get the gassface.
- Forget Obama. Pat Buchanan for President [h/t reyes-chow].
- The absolute best place [in Guam] to get your fix of the most random interesting reads and links.
The divorce rate article was a pretty interesting read… though it confirmed what I expected: divorce rates are down because people are getting better at making their marriages work; people just aren’t getting married, period. From the article:
“The number of couples who live together without marrying has increased tenfold since 1960; the marriage rate has dropped by nearly 30 percent in past 25 years; and Americans are waiting about five years longer to marry than they did in 1970.”
One wonders at what the social ramifications will (continue to) be.
Christianity off-off broadway
Reading this NYT article about 2 off-off broadway plays, Faith Confronted, and Defended, Downtown, makes me all the more want to be an urbanite in The City, as cruel a place as it is for the faithful, once in a while it does make room for an honest loo…
Eugene — Yes, Mr. $67 million pants guy gets the gas face! Every time I thought of that guy I would get so worked up about all the things that are wrong with our culture today… but just knowing that he has received a much-deserved gas face puts things back into perspective for me
At the risk of exposing my totally lowbrow TV-viewing tendencies, did you happen to watch “The (White) Rapper Show” hosted by MC Serch? If not, then I totally didn’t either
Gar: yes, it will be very interesting. there are various countries around the world [particularly europe and japan] that are having issues because of the reasons you mentioned. specifically, the decrease of children has been alarming for some of these nations.
Daniel: i don’t remember the show but I’m sure Gar does. but i do remember mc serch and i do remember the song, ‘gas face.’
‘gas face’ is classic…
For those not in the know:
haha.
