A really nice interview with Rev. James Cone, who wrote the seminal work on black liberation theology, can be found here .

Often the South, esp. the "Deep South", gets characterizes as resistant to new ideas. And sure, this is not totally wrong. But I think it is misleading. In fact, when it comes to politics, the big cities of the South (I'm not so much speaking of the rural areas) are some of the most vibrant and politically active places in the country. This fact gets less visibility because the activism isn't so much about pushing the envelope (as is, for example, California), but it is more about coming to terms with the past and dealing with society that is constantly changing. In opposition to the Midwest (where I've been living for the past couple of years), it seem to me that people in the South are more willing to state their views openly to each other, even if they don't agree. Sometimes the sparks fly, but at least there is a continued discussion. Notice that my home state of Georgia is a prime example of the sort of political activism I'm talking about. The fact i...

In Rick Warren's excellent interview with Obama there was only one part I found disturbing: Obama's response to the abortion question. His response reflected a lack of thoughtfullness, which struck me as odd - because I definitely think Obama is generally more thoughtful than McCain. In response to Warren's question: "At what point does a baby get human rights, in your view?", Obama answered: Whether you are looking at it from a theological perspective or a scientific perspective, answering that question with specificity is, you know, above my pay grade.

What he says afterwords I can whole-heartedly agree with, but it does not answer the question: But let me speak more generally about the issue of abortion. Because this is something, obviously, the country wrestles with. One thing that...

For about a week now I haven't been able to view videos on The Daily Show in Ubuntu. Has anyone else experienced this problem lately? Rather than wait to see if it gets sorted out, I decided to go ahead and file a bug report . You can track its progress there. Edit : I've uploaded a temporary workaround Greasemonkey script here . This script allows Linux users to view The Daily Show videos that are found on a subdomain of The Daily Show website: http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/ (Notice that it doesn't work on The Daily Show front page.) This is something I hacked together without knowing a great deal about Javascript, so there is tons of room for improvement. There also may be bugs. Please post in the comments any patches, fixes, or enhancements. Hope this helps some of you get your daily dose of John Stewart! Technorati Tags: ubuntu , daily show
