Odds & Ends
ESPN radio quote of the week: "When we come back...we'll tell you what you think." Just one more service provided by the nationwide leader in sports.
People either need to stop using the word "fundamentalist" or else learn what it means. Just because someone is a Christian and takes the Bible seriously (even literally at times when it seems to want to be taken literally) doesn't make them "fundamentalist." The vast majority of Bible-based Christians are not fundamentalists.
Here in Minnesota a couple of candidates in supposedly "conservative districts" tried to build their campaigns around opposing gay marriage--and lost their primaries. I'm hoping this means that people aren't being suckered by that non-issue any more. I think we have a couple of more important things to worry about than passing ammendments banning gay marriage.
Now Louisville's quarterback is out for 4-6 weeks, after they already lost their star running back. I had counted on them to at least win the Big East this year, but now that starts to look pretty tough.
Tommorow I need to update my comics as lit blog to include (among others) my comments on Scott McCloud's Making Comics. Short version: it's another great McCloud book (though not appropriate for my comics as lit class), and it makes me wish that even as poor at drawing as I am that I could somehow have the time and resources to really make a serious attempt to make comics.
