Video: Here is a short video about Mormonism and Mitt Romney, asking whether a Mormon can or should be President.

Audio: Travis Carden has created a complete list of Grace to You podcasts (both audio and transcripts) for 2006.

Bible: The New Yorker becomes the latest in a long line of periodicals to feature an article about the Bible. “The general principle–that Scripture can be repackaged to meet the demands of an increasingly segmented market–is at the heart of the modern Bible-publishing industry.”

Du Jour: Libbie brings news of a shocking tale: “Newborns stolen in the Ukraine to fund an unproven but lucrative ‘treatment’ that injects their cells into people with various illnesses.”

Christmas: David wants you to buy something from him for that special blogger in your life! “Get one for yourself and some for gifts.” I’ve already got mine. Do you have yours?
