look who Relevant validated this month!

*disclaimer: Relevant is a decent magazine as far as Christian magazines go. I know a couple of the folks there and they're pretty rad. This in no way speaks against Relevant on the whole.

Relevant Magazine seems to have this schtick lately (probably always). They feature 1 or 2 celebrities every issue who are *cue excited giggle* CHRISTIANS! The tone always seems to be a sort of new validation of the person, as in: "oh look kids, you can watch Chuck now because Zachary Levi is a CHRISTIAN!" (it must be said here that Zachary Levi is darned near close to the most Biblical male name I've ever heard). I find this attitude a tad annoying if not disturbing...not least of which because the journalistic quality of these pieces tends to be piss-poor. "Tell us Zachary, how hard is it to be a Christian in Hollywood? (please ignore that we have asked EVERY SINGLE CHRISTIAN ACTOR this same lame question and give the most interesting response you possibly can preferably something that is cleverly humorous and/or somberly righteous)

Pastor Rick Warren urgently asks faithful for $900,000 - OC Watchdog

obama-warren

It’s been a heck of a year for mega-pastor/bestselling author/power broker Rick Warren of the enormous Saddleback Church. It started out with Warren’s invocation at the historic inauguration of one President Barack Obama - and it concludes with Warren asking his flock to cough up nearly $1 million in just two days to keep the church out of the red.

read the whole piece here

*shaking head* As Diana Butler-Bass said (HT: Drew Tatusko), "why doesn't pastor rick go into his own bank account and take care of the shortfall? he's sold more than 35 million books."

Thank you American health care system...

I would very much like to visit my OBGYN to get my most exciting annual exam and talk about my raging hormone fluctuations, receive a script for a $50/mo. birth control pill pack that will hopefully fix me without the need for outpatient surgery (costing me thousands) and leave with a $210 dollar bill. It's everything I hoped for from this great country of ours.
