BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Doctor Who Spoiler warning for my husband David, and for ***Dave of DDtB – we’re only up to the end of the second season here, but the linked article includes information about the third season now being filmed. And meanwhile, David is hooking up his new toy, which is some kind of mega-whizbang media hub switch thing that will allow us to view shows captured by his Snapstream software, which acts as an auxiliary to TiVo. Currently, to do this involves screwing around with some cables and his laptop, sometimes with inadvertent humor: The last…

The Gay Bishops Links Remember the smear campaign conducted against Gene Robinson when he was elected Bishop of New Hampshire: Fred Barnes started it. Remember the huge amount of publicity generated by the news that two large and conservative parishes were leaving the Episcopal Church? Fred Barnes is a member of one of them, and as a FOX pundit-on-call he commented on it on air. Remember the IRD? Fred Barnes is on the board. Coincidence? I think not. Via Jake

You really had to pay attention to details, and the foreshadowing was there for the ending, but it was so subtle that when I pointed it out to my husband David, he was amazed. Matt Damon's performance as CIA man Edward Wilson was masterful;…

At Axis of Episcopal Split, an Anti-Gay Nigerian In case anyone is missing the point about the coming schism in the Episcopal Church, currently it's about homosexuality and biblical inerrancy. 40 years ago, it was about women's ordination and bibilical inerrancy. 20 years before that, it was about civil rights and biblical inerrancy. 100 years before that, it was slavery… and biblical inerrancy.
