Technology: A 14-year old girl is suing MySpace.com for $30 million after a man she met online through that service sexually assaulted her. Fox says that she claims “it does not take sufficient steps to protect underage members.” How about suing her parents for not providing adequate supervision?

Bible: The ESV, clearly seeking to provide a Bible for every possible contingency, has released the Journalling Bible which features wide, ruled margins that have almost 2 inches of available space to write.

Blog: Al Mohler has opened the doors to yet another blog (because I guess he doesn’t have enough to do already!). This one is called ConventionalThinking and is devoted to discussing the Southern Baptist Convention.

Politics: FoxNews has a series on Saddam Hussein, and new evidence that may point to justifying Bush in his decision to invade Iraq. You can read the series here.

How about being responsible for one’s own actions?

We don’t have parental responsibility here in the US. It was outlawed many years ago. Do you guys have it up there in Canada?

Hey, not to shill for the chain, but right now, Family Christian Stores has an ESV for $5. It’s about 4x6 and I think it’s probably the bonded leather. It’s one of their “if you have a Family Perks card, you can get this for $5” deals. I didn’t have a physical copy of the ESV yet, so I got one.

Just to be clear — it’s not the Journalling Edition that FCS has. I just saw “ESV” and was reminded of this.

“The ESV, clearly seeking to provide a Bible for every possible contingency”

I think I’ll hold out for Good News/Crossway to put out an ESV Revolve and Refuel. Those would make interesting stocking-stuffers! ;)
