except that he’s smarter and hotter and cooler and a lawyer. so, basically, the only thing we have in common is that we agree on most everything. like the Citizens United case: One of the central lessons of the Bush era should have been that illegal or unconstitutional actions — warrantless eavesdropping, torture, unilateral Presidential programs — can’t be justified...

Young Punk Rockers Revive Folk Songs for a New... →

When The Tillers sing union hymns like “Which Side Are You On,” they do so with an awareness of the history behind the songs. “Playing folk music, you have to be just as much a historian as a musician,” banjo player and vocalist Mike Oberst says. “A lot of the things that were going on then are going on just the same now,” guitarist Sean Geil says. So their...

So when a particularly delicious mystery comes along, you can definitely be counted upon to keep it under wraps — even if you do walk around with a rather smug look on your face for an afternoon.

Gay Teen Worried He Might Be Christian | The Onion... →

At first glance, high school senior Lucas Faber, 18, seems like any ordinary gay teen. He’s a member of his school’s swing choir, enjoys shopping at the mall, and has sex with other males his age.

Avatar: A Subversive Reading of the Bible? →

The end of Avatar is counter-apocalytpic. The world does not end, though much destroyed, after the battle between good and evil. As foretold in the book of Revelation, the whore of Babylon—the colonizing empire—is devoured by beasts with heads and horns. The end is humane and yet ironic: the humans who survive the battle are not all killed, but sent back, albeit to what the Na’vi consider a...
