Thursday, December 15th, 2005Ten million eligible voters (2/3) went to the Iraqi polls today to elect their first full-time government since the fall of Sadaam: “The high turnout was remarkable, considering curfews, bulked-up security, border closings, road closures and traffic bans across the country. In some cases, voters had to take long walks to get to polls. Many [...]
New York without a subway
Thursday, December 15th, 2005… is like L.A. without a freeway or an airport without a runway. Yet it might happen tomorrow, if the transit workers strike twelve hours from now as planned. posted by Jeremy Del Rio @ 12/15/2005 12:01:00 PM
There in Spirit
Thursday, December 15th, 2005A bout with bronchitis (mine) and pneumonia (my wife’s) prevented me from getting arrested at the Capitol in DC yesterday along with Jim Wallis, John Perkins and others. But much love and respect to those who are willing to speak prophetically against injustice. For more on the prayer protest against domestic poverty, read: More Than [...]
Someone call the exterminator

Wednesday, December 14th, 200563% of those surveyed by Church Marketing Sucks didn’t like the Che Guevera inspired Christmas ad. I think it’s pretty clever. posted by Jeremy Del Rio @ 12/14/2005 09:28:00 PM

Class Act
Tuesday, December 13th, 2005I’m loathe to commend a New England sports hero for anything, but Tom Brady’s acceptance speech upon receiving Sports Illustrated’s Sportsman of the Year Award last week (video) was a class act: “Fifteen years ago, I was a freshman in high school. I started out as the backup quarterback on a team that was 0-8. [...]
Reindeer reflections, ELAC style
Tuesday, December 13th, 2005Abner’s got a humorous take on Rudolph, the marginalized reindeer exploited by the fat white man for a buck and celebrated by a hypocritical public thirsty for material gain. Check it out. posted by Jeremy Del Rio @ 12/13/2005 11:37:00 AM
“Church Planting: A Threat to the Constitution”?
Monday, December 12th, 2005Marci Hamilton, a professor at Cardozo Law School, wants you to think so. At issue for the professor is the most recent federal court decision from November 2005, which ruled that New York City cannot prevent churches from renting school buildings for Sunday morning worship.

My dad says the Jets should hire me…
Sunday, December 11th, 2005… to do chapel services for every team they face! The NFL Jets suck this year. Injuries derailed what was a promising season basically before it began.
