Incredible. Children in a Mississippi town who were behind on paying their lunch money had their food thrown away in front of them and then replaced by a PBJ.
Phew. And to think that before this we didn’t know who the poor kids were! How rich!
Now what was that line about the “least of these?”

If you’re a blog reader and you’re not using Kinja yet, you should start. Kinja is a free web-based service that lets you track updates to your favorite blogs (assuming they have RSS feeds, which most do) on one page. If you choose to make your Kinja digest public, other folks can see what’s new on your favorite blogs. (My Kinja digest is here.)
What I’d like is a feed of my Kinja feeds, sort of a meta-feed if you will. I’m thinking of one click that could consolidate all my favorite blog feeds into one giant feed. This would make it stupidly easy to keep track of all my favorite blogs with one Firefox live bookmark. Maybe something like that exists out there already, but there ought to be a stupid-proof way to turn an OPML list into a feed in just a handful of clicks. At least that’s what I need.
Kinja is officially in beta still, so maybe something like this is in the works.
I just switched over to Firefox, by gum. I’ve had earlier versions installed just to check cross-browser issues, but I’ve never really used it up this point. I’m very impressed so far. Tons of extensions you can download. My favorite extension so far is a weather plugin that runs now on the that info bar at the bottom of the browser screen. Oh, and no pop up ads.
In other news, CNN’s Crossfire is cancelled. Appropriately enough, I learned this from Jon Stewart while watching the Daily Show.
Radical historian Howard Zinn was Jon’s guest. God bless that old man. If you haven’t picked up a copy of A People’s History of the United States, get to the store and that right soon. It’s America’s history as told by its underdogs. Perfect bathroom readings, so no excuse.
The site redesign continues, and thank you for your patience. Still on the to-do list are the email subscription page, the new recommended reading list, and adding the sidebar to the individual post pages.
Riffing off of Heisenberg, Disputations offers an intriguing Theological Uncertainty Principle:
We can make statements about God that are both true and intelligible. The truer a statement, the less intelligible. The more intelligible a statement, the less true.
Here they are, in chronological order. My favorites from 2004:
Your mileage may vary. Satisfaction not guaranteed.
I’m moving back and forth today (and off and on until I’m done) as I work on the new design. I’m basing the new design off of Broken Kode’s Manji theme. Sorry for the mess in the meantime.
[UPDATE: Site navigation along the top of page should be working now.]
[UPDATE: Update is mostly completed now. Please let me know of any problems. I’ll be much obliged.]
