NYO – The Transom – Ms. Hedberg Presents Ms. Bush ascended the stage on the arm of her brother, with the diligent Mr. Wolk trailing close behind carrying the American flag. She then let go of her brother’s arm and proceeded to “Texas dip.” First she spread her gloved arms out to the sides, plié-style, then slowly bent all the way down, transitioning further into an almost seated position on the floor. Then she touched her nose to her toes. And then slowly all the way back up, with the gentle assistance of Pierce’s hand. And all without breaking wind.…

NPR : Judges Tyranny of Tolerance Book Spurs Complaints A veteran St. Louis judge is causing a political stir by publishing a liberal-bashing book. The first chapter of Circuit Judge Robert H. Dierker, Jr.s book, The Tyranny of Tolerance: A Sitting Judge Breaks the Code of Silence to Expose the Liberal Judicial Assault, has been widely read in legal circles, after being distributed by email.

From daily episcopalian: Aint Misbehavin Came across this ditty on the House of Bishops and Deputies list (of all places) today. It is a lyric by Garrison Keillor. Sung to the tune of Ain't Misbehavin'. I'm slow to anger, don't covet or lust. No sins of pride except sometimes I really must. Episcopalian, saving my love for you. The theology's easy, the liturgy too. Just stand up and kneel down and say what the others do. Episcopalian, saving my love for you. I bless myself with a flick of the wrist. You'd never know I was raised fundamentalist. Episcopalian, saving…
