PK, now blogging over at Habhak, is pondering and preaching on the topic of modesty both in and out of church for Christians, as well as dispelling the idea that women are solely responsibility for men lusting. Well worth a read and a thought or two (whether you agree with PK or not). PK also includes some links to other posts on the subject. Post at Habhak here
Milton Stanley, and Dan Eledan, both must have been reading some of the same articles on line that I did and then reaching the same thing I have been thinking about - people are getting tired of world wide misery and suffering. We really just have reached a point where we can’t process and handle anymore. Many people seem to be exhausted by wave after wave of heart breaking, life changing, world destroying, and faith testing pain and agony. Much can be said for those with compassion in their heart, but unfortunately even the compassionate can get tired of being so caring when the world seems to be crashing around them all the way from next door to the next continent. Milton’s post here and Dan’s post here.
Lemuel Calhoon has a interesting post up, based on a Boston Globe article, that wonders out loud if John McCain is a leach on the RNC. LC’s post here Something to ponder, but honestly the GOP really has few options but to back McCain fully and see where it all ends up.
Six Meat Buffet had a great link up to a You Tube video of some non exsist, yet still great, 80’s videos. Link / post here
Microsoft is talking about how they are over 10 million Xbox 360’s sold, but they also had over a year head start. I think long term the Wii will be the big winner of this console cycle with the 360 and PS3 being close competitors in numbers over the long haul. The PS3 has the blu ray edge, the 360 has the edge on the number of games (though that MAY shift a bit in time). Bottomline this milestone is pretty arbitrary in my view.

Mark Olsen over at Pseudopolymath is asking the question I have been asking myself for years, not why do politicians kiss babies, but why do people hand the babies to politicians? Mark’s Post Here
Mark Cavendish won stage 4 of the Giro today. Team High Road (i.e. Team Telecom with better uniforms and based in the US) pulled Cavendish back to the front and helped him win the day. Cavendish is a strong rider for such a young pro.
In the overall, Pellizotti stayed in first with Vandevelde one second back. Tomorrow should be similar, but there could be a change tomorrow due to the top 5 being so close.
This race will be a long three week grind and should be a fun race to watch. I am already looking forward to Sunday on Versus.
Full coverage of the day at the Giro at VeloNews here.
Milton Stanley, posting on and bouncing off a post by William Willimon , has a great post about what is really the main reason to be in ministry and that is theological. Read Milton’s Post Here
Though I am not going to go into all the details etc, I must say in general I am a bit bothered by USC getting NCAA punishment for OJ Mayo who was at best a camper on their campus. That guy was never staying, he was there for 8 months or so sleeping on campus (I am not sure he could find his classes) before going pro. USC will get punished and Mayo will get off scot free with more money then most see in their lives with his signing bonus alone. I am not justifying cheating, but hard to see the purpose in punishing the institution when the offender is gone and not seeing any punishment themselves.
