Way cool phenomenon going on with congregations here in Indy.

Congregations of different denominations sharing worship space and even activities like Bible studies together. Nearly half the congregations inside the I-465 beltway do this

Dear Rick Perry: Perhaps you can help me out here:

I just saw a clip of you on "The Ed Show" where you were pontificating about the minimum wage and the "job creators." Just who are these mythical creatures you speak of anyway? I don't think I've ever seen one.

Love,
Brigid

A little Woody Guthrie for a Sunday night:

Important show coming right up on H2 about America's prisons.

And the private prison industry.

"Should the Minimum Wage Be Abolished?"

Caught a bit of "Crossfire" on CNN while I was out today. I didn't even know that program was still on. I couldn't follow what was bring said because it was kind of noisy where I was, and I was too far away to read the captions; but there was one really striking optic that I probably wouldn't have noticed otherwise : A split screen with Newt Gingrich, Michael Steele, and some other old white guy in a suit chortling on one side, and an African American woman (a Democratic representative from California, I think) scowling on the other -- all over the headline "Should the Minimum Wage Be Abolished?" Can you believe this is actually being seriously discussed? I swear the Repugs won't be happy until we're all being paid nothing and living and working on plantations!

Important show on H2 @ 10 pm Saturday:

On "America's Book of Secrets": The issue of America's prison industrial complex and the country's high incarceration rate.

So Chimpo is hosting wounded warriors at his Crawford ranch, is he?

Sitting here in a nice little hamburger place I go to occasionally, and who shows up on the TV screen (CNN) but The Chimp! It's something about hosting some kind of biking event for veterans, especially those suffering from PTSD. Seems to me it's the least he could do -- it's his fault!

Here's more:
