Not my favorite comic although I read it a lot as a kid. Heathcliff paved the way for Garfield and is still a far more cat-like cat. This one made me think about how much more interesting confession would be if the priest did required evidence of your sins.

Proof of your sins

What an honor. Today I received a letter from Wheaton College (the one in IL) from which I received an MA in Biblical and Theological Studies. Dr. Duane Litfin, who became president of the College while I was still a student there, is stepping down as president. The letter asks […]

Unlike my brother, I have not followed our grandfather’s advice and vote primarily for/against the individual candidate and the policies involved. When the margins are this close, however, I do appreciate the tactics at play. […]

Who do you vote for, the candidate or the party?

One of our college paper reporters interviewed me earlier this week for his story on the “dangers” of twittering and social media. The study was reported by CNN (I cannot find the full study to…study) and many have pointed out the irony of that report since news outlets like CNN […]

This is a fun game (that I got no where near to solving) from Wired.com. One hint: Dr and Doctor fans have the best chance of figuring out the puzzle. Each human head you see here mashes up the mugs of two stars from a movie or a TV show. […]
