Stuff that Needs to be Said

[this is a blog post by pastor John Pavlovitz] I remember the day after the Election, a friend of mine who happens to be white, remarked on social media that he “finally wasn’t embarrassed of America and our President.” I sprained my eyes rolling them and they have never fully recovered.

No Drama Obama?

Holy Freedom Fries! France is currently in the middle of of their presidential election, and it is full of drama.

Obama on the Daily Show

President Obama appears for an extended interview on the Daily Show, and discusses Iran, the media, partisanship, and public service. I wish more news were like this, and it is ironic that we have to watch a comedy fake news show to see it. And I also want to point out that the Social Security […]
