This article (NY Times link) has been cited in another discussion here (it's also been on that other site), but I believe it's important enough to merit an FPP. (My first!) Apparently a sizeable number of evangelicals believe Bush is an "instrument of God." And this allows them to completely overlook the lack of logic in many Bush administration policies, as well as Bush's frequent, uh, misstatements of fact.

Abu Ghraib team bids to run UK prisons

Curious George: While in Iran this summer, I enjoyed some fruits that aren't readily available in the USA- dogberry, greengage, and wild cherries. Do you belong to a culture that has really tasty fruits that no or few Americans have ever heard of or tasted?

Staplerfahrer Klaus- Der Erste Arbeitstag That's "Forklift Driver Klaus- The First Workday" to you, bub. I know it won't make any sense for at least a minute, but it really does work out the humor secretions after that.

Lip-syncing screwup goes out live on SNL. The king of evening comedy claims to have never allowed lip-syncing, but just this evening Ashlee Simpson's voice track started too soon. The result: a big gaffe onstage, followed by an abrupt cut to commercial. Strike one against corporate music. Anyone see it?
