The Flash that Continues to Shake the American World

"Build a bridge and get the fuck over it already."

-- ONTDer

This must be a classic expression, but I cannot recall ever hearing it before and I rather like it. Maybe I should hang it on my wall for when I wake up in the morning.

This is in relation to a discussion on the Supreme Court effectively reinstating the fine against Janet Jackson's boob flash in the halftime show of the Superbowl. With respect to the ruling, in light of the greater liberal turning of the Obama Admnistration, it is depressing to see the Supreme Court taking it's stand against booby flashing. They also recently stood up for keeping the sharp fines for the fleeting use of bad words. Well, so long as they don't try to extend that to premium cable and beyond.

Terry Eagelton on the God Question

I recently mentioned Terry Eagleton's contribution to the God debate that has been resurgent over the past year or two, as he takes his own shot at Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins. In today's Times, Stanley Fish gives us such an excellent review of the book that I think he just saved me the trouble of buying and reading the book.
