Links for Thought and Play

* Russell Arben Fox has a fascinating review of Linker's The Theocons at "In Medias Res".

* Rebecca has a good post on the theological discussion-stopper, "The God I worship wouldn't...."

* "Historia Ecclesiastica" has a post on 'Troublechurch' Browne, the sixteenth-century Separatist. It sheds some interesting light on the roots of Baptist views on individual liberty and separation of church and state.

* "Happy Catholic" posts Phyllis McGinley's rhyming summary of St. Jerome's life, The Thunderer.

* A bit about dialect:

Your Linguistic Profile:
60% General American English
20% Dixie
10% Yankee
5% Midwestern
0% Upper Midwestern


ADDED LATER:

* Pure Creepiness: A Mary Worth storyline faithfully acted out. Mary Worth is not usually considered either a funny or a creepy comic strip, but that's because its pace is tortoise-slow. It is actually both.
