Rosie says it best.
Now, what’s to be done about poor Katie?

Thoughts on the Elephant Who Went Shopping for Spats Right After His Mother Was Murdered
It isn’t until you’re a parent that you realize that books for kids are often downright frightening. The first time I tried to read old, beloved Babar to my own children, I about dropped the book. I don’t remember it being that horrifying. But it really kind of is. This cover rendition (author/artist unknown, unfortunately), passed on to me by my friend Kirsten, sums up my feelings about the little elephant.

Hello, Birds. Hello, Bees.
Macky: Do only mamas poop out babies?
Me: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Humunuh. Mumble, mumble, gerp.
Macky: I wish I could poop out a baby!
That would be a miracle, indeed.

An Evangelical, a Muslim, and a TV Star Walk into a Studio…
I’m still trying to figure out what I want to say, and not to say, about the scandal surrounding ex-NAE (National Association of Evangelicals) president Ted Haggard. For now, I’ll simply post a link to a discussion between Bill Maher, Bradley Whitford (oh, how I miss The West Wing!), Reza Aslan, and Sandy Rios about the documentary Jesus Camp, in which Ted Haggard briefly appears.
I can’t voice my opinion better than Whitford does for me in this piece. I also was greatly moved by Whitford’s piece in The Huffington Post. (This is why I keep watching Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.)
More thoughts to come, as I collect them . . .
