The Sojourners Blog at Beliefnet (God’s Politics) allows comments, which makes it more a blog than many sites that utilize columnists, however I’ve never got any sense that the posters there ‘get’ blogging, they tend to put up columns and I suspect they have tech people doing the work for them.
Jim Wallis had a strange post up today directed [...]

Jeff Goldstien of Protein Wisdom contract with Pajamas Media is up the end of March.
 My contract with PJM expires—making the rightwing of the blogosphere that much more streamlined…
It means the traffic I lost while I was off fighting legal battles has necessitated I take a rather significant pay cut. 
But don’t worry, those funds will be [...]

This is hilarious, true and therefore a bit sad, and definitely intriguing. Drew Marshall, a radio talk show host appeared on 100 Huntley Street; a staid and long standing religious TV show in Canada.

Valentine’s Day is named after two Christian martyrs who, in fact, had nothing whatsoever to do with romance.

The miracle here will be if responsible people continue to step forward and put the brakes on this station, which stands to make over 50 million (as a charity) if it expands.
The Miracle Channel, a religious television station that has come under fire for its on-air fundraising campaigns, could lose its broadcast licence in the future [...]

Bill Kinnon at achievable ends links up to the National Post coverage of a debate between  home grown Charles McVety of Canadian Christian College and Chris Hedges who was in Toronto to promote his book: American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America.
 Chapter One is available online.
Hedges was on The Colbert Report last week - he [...]
