I've Been Thinking, Hobbes...

Christianity
A reflection on Easter.

Sports
We've started posting short recaps of every Rangers game on Odd Man Rush.

Film/TV
The Simpsons are getting their own stamps.

Music
*Ahem* U2 will be playing at the new Cowboys stadium on October 12. Tickets go on sale on April 20, and will likely sell out that same day.

The Written Word
Roger Ebert thinks about Twitter culture.

Games
This site poses the question, "What if Criterion released video games?"

Dallas
As I noted before, the Dallas police officer that stopped Houston Texans running back Ryan Moats received some national attention for his lack of professionalism during the stop. Here's a positive story about an officer that ran last week.

Politics/World News
The Economist has a report on the gap between the rich and the poor. An interesting read, especially in light of the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy.

Humor
A soccer player was given a yellow card for, um, distracting a shooter.

Youtube
I've never noticed this before, but of course I've never paid THAT much attention to Disney movies.



Movie Trailer of the Week
Two adaptations of children's books I have fond memories of are coming out soon. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs drops on September 18, and Where the Wild Things Are will be released on October 16.

It almost seems fake, doesn't it?
