Here's the cover of the current issue: The magazine has always been a very mixed bag. But over the last few years the mixture has tipped decisively toward the conventional thinking of affluent liberals. The good things have been fewer, and the bad things more numerous and egregious. And whether good or bad, the whole…

It's an interview with a survivor of the Oklahoma tornado. You have to watch it all the way to the end. (Hat tip to Neoneocon.) http://cnettv.cnet.com/av/video/cbsnews/atlantis2/cbsnews_player_embed.swf

This has been getting quite a bit of commentary on blogs and Facebook for a couple of days, so maybe you've already seen it.

This story from the Telegraph is somewhat alarming. I read National Review's blog pretty regularly, and a couple of their English writers, in particular Andrew Stuttaford, discuss the EU often, always in very negative terms. They are quite hostile to it, viewing it as a road to despotism, and since I don't know anything much…

I'll say right off that I wouldn't have read this book if I hadn't been acquainted with the author (via the Internet–we have never met face-to-face) since somewhere around 2005 or so. Many or most who read this blog will be familiar with Dawn Eden's name because of her powerful conversion story, her long-running blog…
