(Community Matters) Perfect way to spend a Sunday midafternoon, flying back from NYC, reading the NYTimes. We had huge headwinds so took 4.5 hours. Rarely take so long to read the Sunday Times so thoroughly and still haven’t finished the magazine. (I’m very interested in the Genome mapping article. Important continuation of a theme from Saturday night ‘s conversation. Also, found the article on Mark Driscoll and Calvinism enthralling, especially with a setting of Seattle. Have to put together a dinner party to talk about this alone. Bishop Rickle, I’d love your insight!).
Quick thoughts jotted down while reading:
Eric Holder’s scrutiny by GOP (attny general). Seems to me an excellent choice – despite Marc Rich pardon – however, researching and questioning him in a way that will allow us to hold him accountable against future conflicts of interest will serve us well. It’s good that the GOP is stepping up in this role, as we should have for Bush appointees. It makes no sense to harp on what they did or didn’t require during the last eight years. Let’s get it right, now.
“Economy May Delay work on Campaign Pledges” – as a gay member of Pres-elect Obama’s National Finance Committee & GLBT steering committee, by all means let’s not address Don’t Ask Don’t Tell in the first 100 days and absolutely it must be abolished.
