Short Shorts
On my way out of town for the day, here are a few items worth noting.
Sneak Preview: Religious Right Watch a new blog by Scott Isebrand, officially launches on Monday.
"This web project is essentially a blog," he writes, "but, in addition to its regularly-posted news, narrative, and commentary, RRW will offer helpful resources, such as a glossary (just what is the difference between an Evangelical and a Fundamentalist, anyway?) and links to important perspectives and information concerning the Christian Right."
Scott, one of my colleagues in the Talk to Action project, has assembled an excellent set of resources -- key organizations, blogs, and background readings. He has picked well among the many, and for that reason alone, makes Religious Right Watch an important resource to bookmark. I am looking forward to his posts.
Bruce Prescott, another TTA leader, flags a report about and appearance by Richard Land of the Southern Baptists Convention on televagelist D. James Kennedy's Coral Ridge Hour. Land continues the war against the judiciary, claiming that the U.S. is now run "by the judges" and "for the judges," who violate the original intentions of the founding fathers "under the guise of separation of church and state."
In case you haven't already seen it, Max Blumenthal has a chillingly hilarious report in The Nation about the secret report commissioned by Ken Tomlinson chair of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting on alleged liberal bias in public broadcasting.
"The Mann report," Blumenthal concludes," may be one of the strangest documents ever produced by the federal government; however, it is not totally without value. Though it may be botched as an indictment of liberal media bias, it inadvertently offers an unfiltered glimpse into the recesses of the conservative mind."
Chuck Currie flags a local newspaper editorial on the arson and hate graffiti at a United Church of Christ congregation in Staunton, Virginia yesterday. Currie writes: "The words are strong and are a gift to all that have been touched by this story."
