Some helpful, interesting and ridiculous stuff out there in the blogosphere of late . . .

Some public official in Nebraska (I need to be careful here, both my wife and Dr. Clark are native Nebraskans) is suing God.  The guy is a state senator and wants to make a point about frivolous lawsuits.  So, he's suing God.  Only in Nebraska . . .

Did you know there was a "biblical" cure for irritable bowel syndrome?  I'll bet you didn't . . .  Click here: A Little Leaven: Biblical Cure For Irritable Bowel Syndrome?

The federal government in its infinite wisdom decided to limit religious books in prison libraries to 150 "approved" titles.  This is in response to some inflammatory stuff from Jihadists making its way through the federal prisons.  I'll bet the "approved" list of religious books doesn't include anything from Calvin or Spurgeon, but does include Gibran, Osteen and Warren, who have never written anything substantial enough to offend anyone.

Lee Irons is blogging his way through Meredith Kline's magisterial book By Oath Consigned.  Click here: The Upper Register Blog.  For all you Kline fans, this is good stuff.  Thanks Lee for doing this!

The folks in Boston are getting a tad nervous these days.  Relax, the Yankees won't win the pennant, although they'll win the wild-card.  If the Yanks get the Indians in the first round of the play-offs (not the Angels) and if Boston draws the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, then the Yanks and Red Sox will meet again in the  A. L. Championship series.  That should be epic!  Meanwhile the Red Sox nation is sweating bullets as the evil empire marches on, Click here: Boston Red Sox - Extra Bases - Red Sox blog Boston.com

Sheesh...the Yankees can spot the rest of the league twelve games and half a season and STILL be in the hunt in September.

Most of Nebraska doesn't claim Ernie Chambers as its own. I'm from there and he's definitely not typical for the area...

I saw that senator suing God story last night on the news. It was well timed...I needed a roll on the floor after our Council meeting and before zombying off to bed. My sides have stopped cramping but I am still dabbing the corners of my eyes. "Sweet, fancy Moses!"

We didn't know you were from Nebraska! Should of recognized the mid west accent:) Not all the kooks live in California, there are plenty of them here in the mid west. Alot of us would gladly send them all to the coasts but seems they are everywhere no matter where you go now. How times have changed...........

Ernie Chambers makes Benny Hinn look sane.

Wow, pretty confident that the Wankees can take the Indians, eh? ;)
If they even get in, I think the Indians can man-handle the yanks quite easily.

Just spent the last 3 weeks in the Boston area, the Sox aren't just a team there, they are a religion.
I had a hard time taking a team with a player named "Coco Crisp" on it seriously. Of course I have a hard time taking any "professional" sport seriously.

Go Tribe!!! Indians over the Yanks in 5 games!
Starting pitching is the name of the game.
