Found on the Yahoo HATT group, the AP (Assistance Platform) team is blogging. So, writers (and those teaching writers of the future), where’s your blog?
Quick note: Pink Floyd’s “A Momentary Lapse of Reason” is still one of the best rock albums ever made. Link
I always knew, growing up, that something about West Michigan wasn’t right. Now I know just what it was. A newly discovered fragment of the oldest surviving copy of the New Testament indicates that, as far as the Antichrist goes, theologians, scholars, heavy metal groups, and television evangelists have got the wrong number. Instead of […]
Much digital ink will be spilled about The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy movie this weekend. I saw it this evening with more than a little trepidation. I’m a huge fan of the books. In fact, I make it a point to re-read them at least every two years. With that in mind, the movie […]

From Instapundit: MICHAEL BARONE LOOKS AT religion and politics in America: But whether the United States is on its way to becoming a theocracy is actually a silly question.
