What Color Is Today?
Big News
Vice-President Dick Cheney says House Speaker Dennis Hastert should not resign. He likes Hastert. He and Dennis have a hunting trip planned.
Madonna visited an orphanage in Malawi's on Thursday. Bless her heart. I hope she kept her clothes on.
October 6th Now & Then
The annual Wool Festival is this week in Falmouth, Kentucky. But Bob Barker is trying to stop it. Bob thinks sheep shearing is cruel -- though, of course, it's okay to neuter them.
Film legend Betty Davis died on this day in 1989. Singer Kim Carnes had a hit with "Betty Davis’ Eyes." Makes you wonder how a song about Dolly Parton would do.
William Tyndale was burned at the stake on this day in 1535. Tyndale had translated the Christian New Testament from Greek and Hebrew into English. And got a bad review. In those days, the critics were murder.
Baseball pioneer Henry Chadwick was born on this day in 1824. He wrote the first baseball rule book. The first rule required all baseball players to chew tobacco -- and to be sure and spit anytime anybody pointed a camera at them.
Love & Learn
To Be Equal - Put poverty on national agenda before it tears us apart.
Analysis - Chatting with an alien: "What color is today?"
Book Reviews - Righteous: Dispatches from the Evangelical Youth Movement.
A Greener View - Lichens no cause for concern.
Shallow Thoughts
It's the autumn season and the campaign season. Squirrels are trying to find nuts and voters are trying to avoid them.
It's a typical autumn: frost is on the pumpkins, and linebackers are on the quarterbacks.
