Du Jour: The increasingly curmudgeonly (is that a word?) Dan Edelen insults and offends every Christian blogger by asking if Christian blogging is a waste of time.

Humor: Here’s a strange one: Go to Google Images and do a search for “challies.” Take a look at the fifth result. And incidentally, I have no idea who that is in the third result.

Politics: Michaelle Jean became Canada’s Governor-General yesterday. Many decry this as a purely politically-correct move by the Prime Minister, as Jean is a black, female Hatian immigrant – a bit of a strange choice to be representative of Canadians.
Wishlist: Here is a gift for the hiker or camper in your life. The Outdoor Bible (NASB) is a tear-resistant, waterproof Bible. It is quite a neat little innovation!
