Another Manic Monday

Four news stories caught my eye this month.

First, this about the murder of Iraqi comedian Walid Hassan. Max over at The Fifth Column wrote a thoughtful post about it and humor in our chaotic times.

Next, in Gaza City three children, the youngest only three-years-old, were killed when the car they were traveling in was sprayed with automatic rifles fire.

Then, this. The horror that is Darfur has been taken on the road.

Finally, GodMen a Christian movement dedicated to making church going and Jesus more manly in an effort to bring men back into the Christian faith. David Morrow, author of a book called Why Men Hate Going To Church, blames this lack of attendance on, "the feminization of mainline churches."

GodMen think they can chance this by showing a, more forceful, more rugged expressions of their faith.

"Thank you, Lord, for our testosterone!"

(Sigh) Just what we need in the middle of all this testosterone driven violence- more testosterone.
