A Sex Change for Mr. Clean?
Hilarity from the European Parliament which “evidently has too much time on its hands. Last week, this glorious and august legislative body voted to warn advertisers and marketers against ‘sexual stereotyping.’ Seriously.”


Love Your Life
Victoria Osteen’s first book will release next month. “As a minister, she reaches out to an enormous community of people who look to her for guidance, strength, wisdom, and encouragement. She knows as well as anyone that operating in so many different roles can be extremely demanding, yet she has managed to find balance, living her life in the unforced rhythms of grace. If you ask her, she’ll tell you that she loves her life and she wants you to love your life, too.”


Classic Reformed Theology
Martin Downes points to a new series called Classic Reformed Theology. “The series will provide critical English editions of key texts from the vitally important era of Reformed orthodoxy.”


The New New Face
This article in the Guardian discusses the latest trend in cosmetic surgery–the New New Face. “Ten years ago women wanted their cheeks and foreheads to be pulled, stretched and tightened, like vacuum-packed pieces of steak. These days they arrive in his consulting rooms demanding something more youthful and plush. Think of a plumped-up cushion. Out with pinched, in with peachy. There’s a new face around – and it’s a baby’s.”
