I enjoyed reading the new meme.
The U2 thing doesn't surprise me very much. If anything was representative of Emergent Church style Christianity, they are.
Handing out condoms at their concerts some years ago began to shred any credibility they had with me, despite Bono's "evangelical" reputation. Further discovering his pretty severe potty mouth bugged me even more.
I love this weather SOOOOO much. If it stayed in the 60's all year long - I'd be a happy camper! Well, if I camped, that is.
