a red car is parked next to a trailer that says u-tow on it

Alt: An animated character (Sideshow Bob) is walking through a parking lot that is scattered with garden rakes. With almost every step, he treads on a rake that flips up and knocks him on the forehead.

I periodically go back to rewatch that one.
1. It was an incredibly gutsy move.
2. Rhetorically, it’s pretty brilliant.
3. Anyone who can make Tony Abbott that uncomfortable deserves a gold medal.

Ea-Nāşir's perfidy seems eternal!

Comic

Panel one. Stick finger singing, "Raindrops on rose/ And whiskers on kittens."

Panel two. Same stick figure holding pot and singing, "Bright copper kettles leave/ ...Flakes on my mittens!?"

Panel three. Same figure still holding pot and singing, "Hey, these are stone with a copper veneer!"

Fourth panel. Same stick figure has put down pot and is singing, "I've been bamboozled by Ea-Nāşir!"

I was deeply saddened to learn that my own bishop did not sign last week’s ELCA bishops’ letter. But I’m grateful that it was issued, and that so many other bishops did.

This is the 50th anniversary of the debut of Saturday Night Live, which began my long junior-high nightmare of having people explain to me on Monday the absurd jokes that they, but not I, got to watch on Saturday.

My bedrock political principle is that every person deserves the opportunity to thrive. Alongside that, I believe that we all do better when we all do better.

The details of how we make those things happen may be complicated. But if we can’t start there, we’re in trouble.
