Ok, so only the geekiest of people are going to get this. But I thought it was hilarious.

Subject: UUism and Desperate Housewives

Well, we're moving into pop culture.  Bree referred Lynette to go to a UU church (where she hears we are open to asking questions) last week on Desperate Housewives.

I'm not a big fan of the new pope.  (I loved JPII!)  But I have to admit that the new pontiff seems less foreboding and slightly more endearing in this commercial for riding the DC METRO.

Addendum (2008.04.13 11:22 pm):
More Pope products, for the papal faithful.

Rev. Daniel Harper shows us that even attack ads can be fun.

Also from Making Chutney:

A vid starring one of my favorite ideologues.

Got this from Making Chutney.

It's a Cheetos Jesus! (Click on the pic or on this link for the vid.)

My love for American Cheese meets my love for religious kitsch in a perfect orange puff of corny goodness.

had a MySpace account?

Too funy. I think God would say He's lmao.

Especially liked Satan repeatedly requesting God as a friend. There's a bit of theology in this silliness!

In some ways, Good Friday was a day like any other day. Around noon time I made my way over to Silver Spring to have lunch with my friend, Kat. While it's been longer than we would have liked since our last lunch, this was not an unusual thing.

Got up at 7:30 am this morning for a conference call to work (10:30 am DC time). From my perspective it was a normal staff meeting, except that I was calling in from SF. But afterwards my mother commented that she didn't believe I was working; I was laughing too much.

Afterwards, went to Berkeley with bro et ma to tend my parents' apartment building. Replace burnt out light bulbs. Rake old and soggy leaves. Pick up trash. Throw out junk mail. Sweep. Weed. There is something calming about this work.
