- The Right Reverend Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury and titular leader of the Worldwide Anglican Communion, appeared on the steps of Lambeth Palace this morning to announce a possible, partial resolution of the schism that has been facing the Church since the Diocese of New Hampshire in the United States consecrated an openly gay priest as bishop. Conservative churches throughout the world, and particularly in Africa, have denounced the consecration of Reverend Gene Robinson as contrary to Scripture. Thus, it was with evident relief that Archbishop Williams reported that the 17.5 million member Anglican Church of Nigeria had offered to recognize Bishop Robinson's status in exchange for assistance from the Diocese of New Hampshire in moving a substantial amount of money from Nigeria to the US. "It seems they have some kind of bally regulations in Nigeria that restrict the amount of money you can send abroad," said Archbishop Williams, showing reporters a faxed letter Lambeth had received that morning from Lagos. |

- According to White House sources, President Bush has not allowed his new Wilson official NFL leather game football to leave his sight since he received it as a gift last week. "The president has that ball with him everywhere he goes," Vice-President Dick Cheney said Monday. "The way he pump-fakes it in the Oval Office is really distracting." Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has threatened to take the ball away and lock it in his desk if he sees it at the table during another goddamned cabinet meeting. [The Onion] |

- IC Wales has an article about Christmas the Viking way today. First there's the content one expects from this kind of article: If the Vikings had seen pictures of Santa Claus cruising the skies in a sleigh pulled by reindeer, they probably would have assumed he was catching a ride with Thor, the Norse god of thunder. According to Viking traditions, which carry over into modern Scandinavian Jul - or Yule - celebrations, Thor's personal transport was a flying wagon pulled by a team of horned goats. " |

- Shh. Tyler finally is asleep in a spot that does not involve any portion of my anatomy. Here's something I didn't know until post-delivery. The first month with a newborn is like a particularly sadistic yet addictive video game (whether first person shooter or role playing, I haven't quite decided). The game's primary goal is to keep the Baby from Crying. |

- I tried to search this one out as I read it yesterday, but was unable to actually track down the source... With my setup, I POP multiple accounts through Spam Intercepter, which pulls mail from 2 different accounts. I have the second (my .Mac) account disabled in Mail since the messages come through when I POP into SI. Because the account is disabled it is not that simple to initiate a new message from it without manually activating it each time... |
