I am aware of six conferences on faith, environmental stewardship, and climate change between now and May. If you are anywhere near Omaha, NE; Chicago, IL; New Haven, CT; Spokane, WA; Fayetville, AR; or the Adirondack Mountains and have any interest in either religion or new ways to discuss environmentalism, [...]
There is far too much whining in the blogosphere and I'd like to think that I'm an exception. But not today. 
Not especially important to me, but I assume 8 year olds can spot the stupidity in this argument.

Rayford found Chloe miserable.
And for the next 30 or so pages, there's no other way to find her. Except maybe as bitter and kind of nastily vindictive.
She's been made miserable due to her confusion over the whole Alice situation -- a misery made worse by her refusal [...]
I've noted this before but I believe that Governor Mitch Daniels of Indiana will run and that he will make a formidable candidate. The Washington Post has the skinny on the latest Daniels watch:
Two months ago, in an interview in his state capitol office, Daniels said explicitly he' [...]
The last time United States Congress passed a bill with the title "Declaration of War" was in June 1942, against Romania. Given that the United States military has engaged in actions that clearly meet the standard of war in Asia, Europe, Africa and Latin America, the question is why haven't' [...]
A family member told NBC News he was resting comfortably while doctors evaluated [...]
Scott Rasmussen released a new poll of the Iowa governor and U.S. Senate races today. Rasmussen surveyed 500 "likely Iowa voters" on February 18.
Given Rasmussen's usual "house effect" favoring Republican candidates, I expected the numbers to be worse for Democrats than other recent Iowa polling. Instead, they were [...]
The plane to Chicago for the College Art Association (CAA) Annual Meeting left from a concourse I rarely use so I saw different art than usual as part of the airport’s Exhibition Program, which certainly provides the best distraction I’ve found at Philadelphia International Airport. Nick Kripal’s Swarm [...]
If you're a Democrat (officeholder, party official or simply rank and file) you've gotta be worried right now.
Voo Doo Child Cocktail @ Bridget Foy's
Recently, Bridget Foy’s on South Street announced a new rum drink called the Voodoo Chilled Cocktail.
The drink, which consists of Haitian barbancourt rum, white rum, Jamaica dark rum, orange pineapple, grenadine, and ground nutmeg,' [...]
We were up at Tyler the other day and bumped into Tyler painting prof Dona Nelson. The artist told us she’d been mentioned in Roberta Smith’s recent rant in the New York Times about the lackluster curating in NY museums. Just to be clear, Smith shouted out Nelson [...]
The young woman pictured above is Jennifer Hardy, or as i’m calling her, “the Torture Princess”:
The Torture Memos will forever be known as the work of John Yoo, the former Office of Legal Counsel lawyer who took the lead in preparing them. But the internal Justice [...]
Poster for Romeo + Juliet @ the Arden
Next week, the Arden Theatre Company presents William Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet. The classic story of love and violence, family and betrayal, hits the Arden’s F. Otto Haas stage on Wednesday, March 3rd, and runs through April 11th.

It’s one of my last remaining Philly Weekly columns before the budget axe comes down:
by neutering ESOL in Renaissance-eligible schools located in neighborhoods with high numbers if immigrants, the district is effectively setting those schools up for failure — possibly to unload on private companies like Mastery or KIPP. [...]
University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology
As one of five “Out of Print” cultural partners participating in the Philagrafika 2010 festival, the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology is hosting the provocative installation What in the World now through April 11, 2010. [...]
Regularly I wonder just what Fred Hiatt imagines his purpose - and that of his crayon scribble page - is. Hiring people who are likely to accurately inform readers obviously is not an especially high priority. Though what his actual priorities are I do not know.
Heads up! The George Washington Carver exhibit at the Academy of Natural Sciences closes this weekend. On display since November, the exhibit displays over 150 historical artifacts from his life, as well as videos, interactive displays and more.
Aside from the much more important issues Digby raises, it continues to fascinate me that in 2010 journalists continue to point at "the bloggers" as a way of cleansing themselves and members of the broader political-media industrial complex of their own sins.
I often wonder where I would’ve ended up career-wise if I had continued on in school to get my Bachelor’s Degree in business. Would I be suffering through the downturns that we’ve had to deal with here at my shop due to the poor economy? Would my husband and I [...]
You know all those old clothes you’ve got just lying around, maybe crammed in your dresser or on your closet floor? Why not give them a new home, all while picking up new clothes and giving back to the arts?
This Saturday, the Bella Sera Cafe is [...]
Another month, another surge of war in the ME for the US, with NATO forces committing an atrocity of war, kiling 20-30 civilians in a bombing. And this:
The airstrike took place in an area under Dutch military control and if Dutch forces were involved in the incident it could [...]
Last night, I finally kegged the ESB I made few weeks back, only to discover my CO2 tank was nearly spent. No matter: there’s enough to keep the beer flowing, and the low carbonation level makes it that much more British (the ESB was originated by the Brits).
This morning we [...]
Normal Betty White is amazing. She’s never stopped working in the more than six decades she’s been in Hollywood.
And yet, at 88, she’s still remarkably hip, funny and appealing to people of every age.
But Betty White is the exception.
And the truth is [...]
Hopefully stories like this are evidence that he - or at least his influence - is on the way out.
[...] From Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit:
Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell told Chris Wallace today on FOX News Sunday that he was not certain if the GOP would be able to block the democrat’s latest attempt to take over the health care industry.
The Hill reported:

I know that many of us part ways when it comes to smoking bans. As I recall a majority of you where happy when the bans began rearing their ugly little heads-- touting the fact that your hair and clothes wouldn't smell like smoke --personal freedoms be' [...]

Only mystery is why they didn't try to shoehorn a teleprompter joke
