Everything's coming up Milhouse!

Rosser pointed me to a hilarious Onion AV article of quotable Simpsons' lines.

I understand there is a financially compelling reason for doing otherwise, but I wonder if Covenant will ever celebrate the admission of a National Merit Scholar as opposed to an onslaught of sports related news? Sports do make the College money, but isn't it's stellar liberal arts education supposed to be its soul?

I've been indulging in some Johnny Cash lately. Really, his catalogue is just so large and comprehensively good, I just select all of his music and put it on shuffle. A few choice tracks I've been enjoying: "Flesh & Blood", "Where The Soul of Man Never Dies", and "Father & Son" w/ Fiona Apple. Another album of previously unreleased music has been, uh, released. It is, of course, incredible.

The PF review is great and makes a point I think Johnny would make himself: that it's a mistake to divide the secular & sacred in his music. I'm looking forward to listening to the album on shuffle.

If you haven't seen the FIFA World Cup Commercials yet, but all means hit YouTube or ESPN and do so. My favorite one below, with Bono, about the Ivory Coast. I admit I get a little teary eyed each time I watch it.
