The blog is a part of BeliefNet, a site (obviously) dedicated to spirituality and belief. Start with his blog and explore some. The site is really worth some of your time each week.
As for Jesse, here's a quote from his most recent post on Cheney-Edwards:
| From time to time, I reconsidered: "He's being boring on purpose," I said, "so people will change the channel." But then I'd look again, and I'd see that cloud, dark and brooding, heavy with a lifetime of sins. And in his body, I saw the fatigue and the stress and the high cost of denial. And with each moment, I saw his batteries run further down--to put it in spiritual terms, I saw his chi falling, falling.
Then came the tragic moment. If you watched, you know what it is before I say it: Edwards talking about Cheney's gay daughter, about how Cheney surely loved her and wanted every good thing for her, including a few legal rights. And Cheney having to say--for the first time ever--that maybe he and the President had different views of this, and it was his duty to support the President. I felt for him then. Felt for him as I never have before. Understood what it must be like to babysit for the spoiled child who is our President, hunkered over the desk, hour after hour, doing the work of two men--hunched like an accountant wearing arm garters and a visor as he goes over the ledger. A cold man, a hated figure. Who won the debate? Edwards. Because he was young and sharp and looked at the camera and made sense. But also because Cheney needs a rest. If there's a merciful God, he'll get one on Election Day. If not, I fear, he dies in office. |
And if you like that, seems he's also the brains behind a new .com, Headbutler.com. too lazy to look for yourself? No worries. I'll be monitoring the site closely from now on.
