the dysFUNctional family revisited
I stumbled upon quite a conversation brewing regarding, in my opinion, a distorted and hypersensitive article about my favorite show (until my real favorite show starts again).

Welcome Back Griffins
I love this show. I really love this show. For some reason, I didn't watch it before FOX cancelled it a few years ago. However, since the Cartoon Network started showing it in syndication on Adult Swim . . . I have never been the same. I have my DVR set to record it every single time it comes on; morning , noon, and night. It is that good. I guess I am not alone.
For the past few years since FOX cancelled it, hundreds of thousands of fans flooded Fox with complaints and petitions (nothing new for FOX) wanting the show back. For once, the execs listened.

Soldier of Misfortune
Pat Tillman's parents lashed out at the Army's investigation into Tillman's friendly-fire death in Afghanistan last year. In interviews conducted by the Washington Post, Tillman's mother and father said they believe the military and the government created a heroic tale about how their son died to foster a patriotic response across the country.
"Pat had high ideals about the country; that's why he did what he did." Mary Tillman told the Washington Post. "The military let him down. The administration let him down. It was a sign of disrespect. "The fact that he was the ultimate team player and he watched his own men kill him is absolutely heartbreaking and tragic. The fact that they lied about it afterward is disgusting."
Pat Tillman gave up a career in the NFL with the Arizona Cardinals after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks to join the U.S. Army Rangers with his brother.
In spring 2004, Pat Tillman's unit was sent to Afghanistan, where the Rangers were responsible for mopping up the remnants of Taliban and Al-Qaeda forces. His unit worked in rugged circumstances, often fending off ambushes and avoiding road-side bombings.
But shortly after arriving in the mountains to fight, Pat Tillman was killed in a barrage of gunfire from his own men, mistaken for the enemy. He was 27.
The Army told Tillman's family and the public that he was killed by enemy fire while storming a hill. After a public memorial service, the Army told Tillman's family that he had been killed by his own men.
"After it happened, all the people in positions of authority went out of their way to script this," Patrick Tillman Sr. told the Washington Post. "They purposely interfered with the investigation, they covered it up. I think they thought they could control it, and they realized that their recruiting efforts were going to go to hell in a handbasket if the truth about the death got out. They blew up their poster boy."
General Vincent K. Brooks, an Army spokesman, admitted that "mistakes" were made surrounding the circumstances of Tillman's death.
"In the case of the death of Corporal Patrick Tillman, the Army made mistakes in reporting the circumstances of his death to the family," Brooks told the newspaper. "For these, we apologize. We cannot undo those early mistakes."
Patrick Tillman Sr. wants all Army officials who conducted the investigation to face discipline. "Maybe lying's not a big deal anymore," Tillman Sr. said. "Pat's dead, and this isn't going to bring him back. But these guys should have been held up to scrutiny, right up to the chain of command, and no one has."

Prophets of Profit
http://www.bruderhof.com/articles/Prophets-of-Profit.htm?source=BreakfastMoney is not only a necessary medium of exchange for goods and services, as the prophets of capitalism would have us believe. Money and wealth have become Mammon, a means to power over other human beings who are also “created in the image of God.” Archbishop Romero of El Salvador said before he was murdered in 1980: “Money is good, but selfish persons have made it bad and sinful. Power is good, but abuse by humans has made it something to fear. All has been created by God, but humans have subjected it to sin” (The Violence of Love).
These prophets of Mammon often use the “Christian” jargon of the self-proclaimed righteous ones, the “Moral Majority,” the “saved” ones. Yet strangely enough, they all seem to come down on the side of wealth and property, and consequently, power over others. They claim God’s special blessing, but they worship the Golden Calf.
And if things don’t go well for our modern day prophets of profit, the solution is to punish or eliminate the “bad guys,” the “evil-doers.” Sound simple, doesn’t it? They would have us all believe that there are simply bad guys and good guys, and that we know who they are.
Now, if you are a follower of Jesus you know that there are really no “good guys” or “bad guys.” All people have the same basic physical needs to sustain life, the same human nature, and the same desires and motivations, such as self-preservation and generosity, sexual desire, and the need to love and to be loved. We are all capable of goodness and sin. We can all be selfish or unselfish, violent or peaceful, loving or hateful, constructive or destructive, compliant or obstinate. As Walt Kelly’s Pogo has told us, “We have met the enemy, and he is us!”

Fish Heads & Faith
In its April issue, New Internationalist cuts out the middle-man and has street children tell their stories with their own words, and through their own eyes. A moving four-picture photo essay captures the kids'-eye view of life on the streets of Paris, France; Jakarta, Indonesia; New Dehli, India; and Nairobi, Kenya. The photos were gleaned from 15,000 snapshots taken by children through the Home/Life project , which equipped kids in 11 countries with simple cameras to document their lives.5.18.2005
everything in it's right place
The band recently got together in the studio to play through new material, with reportedly 15 songs that they are working on with two of them described as "already done and amazing." They are in high spirits and happy to be playing together. The band first got together back in January and Thom played a bunch of his new songs for the others. Having never heard the songs before, the rest of the band just jumped in and started adding their own parts. The whole recording process has been described as "unorganized" and very different than the way Radiohead has recorded before.
We've been told that the new album should be finished by December with a release date in Feburay or March 2006. Touring will possibly begin in February 2006.
It's still unknown at this point whether or not Nigel Godrich will produce this album. As you may know, Nigel has been an important role in the development of Radiohead going back to The Bends and is often referred to as the "sixth member" of the band. We do know that the band have been working alone with Nigel popping in every now and then to see how things are going. Thom has also given him CDs of new material. Nigel is currently working with Paul McCartney on his latest album and will most likely join Radiohead in studio once he's done.
Another question that remains unanswered is how this new album will be released. Radiohead fulfilled their contract with EMI with the release of Hail to the Thief and it's unclear if they will be resigning or going with another label. It's also possible that they may try and release this on their own, but that's just our speculation.

Petrified Religion
Given the number of people who've been "saved," you'd think the world was becoming a brighter place. It could be, too, if more people would stop worrying about religion and lose themselves in service to God and each other. People like Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt (1842-1919), the maverick German pastor and religious socialist whose writings we share below.Nothing is more dangerous to the advancement of God's kingdom than religion. But this is what Christianity has become. Do you not know that it is possible to kill Christ with such Christianity! After all, what is more important - Christianity or Christ? And I'll say even more: we can kill Christ with the Bible! Which is greater: the Bible or Christ? Yes, we caneven kill Christ with our prayer. When we approach God with our prayers full of self-love and self-satisfaction, when the aim of our prayers is to make our world great, our prayers are in vain.
The Savior will not allow himself to become petrified in religion. That is why the Savior told the story of the ten virgins, some of whom were wise and others not (Matt. 25:1-13). With this, he says, "There are some who make a religion out of me, a cozy haven, a state of bliss. It is the others who will be the living Christians, always open to change, always seeking something new, until the entire world stands there renewed."
Yes, we love the word of God spoken to humankind but if we truly love it, we will understand that this word is much greater than the Bible. It cannot be chained, written down as if set in cement. When God's word is frozen, even the best Christians are able to justify their hate toward their fellowmen, even killing them and vehemently separating themselves from them.
Today there are Christians who believe that they will (after death or at Jesus' return) fly with the Savior to heaven and then laugh at those left behind. I find it incomprehensible that those who call themselves devout consider themselves better than others or exempt from God's judgment. This kind of religion is false because it separates us from other human beings. I will have nothing to do with it! Jesus entered right into the human condition in all its ugliness. He united with people. He did not separate himself from them.

' I Scream (when I eat) For Ice Cream '
Some of you are aware of my digestive afflictions caused by heavy dairy products, mainly ice cream. As bad as the results of eating it can be, sometimes the pain is numbed by supreme quality ice cream. There are only two products I will subject myself to a day on the toilet for, Murrays (in Westport) and Ben & Jerry's. My wife and I are on a secret list at Murrays for a flavor they only carry occasionally (would tell you what it is, but would have to 'whack' you if I did). They call us when they make a batch of the sweet stuff and we have to go in and ask for it specifically. They ask "did you get a call" and we smoothly give a wink. They then sneak off to the back of the store and come out with our batch, so feaking cool. That is one reason I will eat ice cream and 'pay for it'. The other reason, Ben & Jerry's, is less frequent because Murrays is preferred and I can only 'tolerate' so much discomfort, but will buy some 1-2 times a year.
Anyway, so yesterday I'm cruising around the 'burb's and end up around 135th St & State Line Rd. I haven't been out that far south in years. There are tons of restaurants and businesses everywhere. The once beautiful farmland is no longer there, just building after building, and one Volvo StationWagon and BMW SUV after another.
So, as I'm cruising by 'JoCo Stripmall Hell', one particular store jumps out in front of my car like a darting deer, a Ben & Jerry's shop . . . oh sweet mercy ! ! ! I pull my steering wheel sharply, race into the parking lot, and slowly walk in to the gates of mana. This place was simply grand, not to mention the down right tasty flavor I finally picked out. Sure, I was destined for 24 hours of tremendous discomfort, but it was well worth it.

Laughing On The Outside, Crying On The Inside
This is truly sad. While I was impatiently awaiting the 3rd season to begin this month, this matter is for more important. Get well Dave.Along with Jon Stewart, Dave Chappelle is Comedy Central’s biggest star. Now he’s gone, with some question about whether “Chappelle’s Show” will ever return.advertisementAt Comedy Central, they’re looking to weather the storm but not from a position of weakness: the network’s ratings are higher than ever, even without new shows from Chappelle.
Comedy Central announced last week that its planned May 31 debut of the show’s third season has been postponed, although it’s not fully clear why. The magazine Entertainment Weekly reported that Chappelle had checked himself into a mental health facility in South Africa.
Production of the series has been stopped with a handful of skits — but no full show — completed, according to the magazine.
Media analyst Larry Gerbrandt said an original series that breaks through the clutter to become a hit is an invaluable commodity.
“Hits are so rare in this business,” said Gerbrandt, who specializes in the cable television industry. “It’s not fatal, but it’s definitely a body blow.”
Comedy Central inked a reported $50 million deal to keep “Chappelle’s Show” for two more seasons, mostly on the strength of explosive DVD sales. The first season’s set has sold 2.8 million copies, making it the all-time biggest-selling DVD of a TV series. The second-season DVD goes on sale May 24.
Industry experts say Comedy Central doesn’t sell advertising on a show-by-show basis; advertisers buy spots for the whole network and they are rotated into different series. That means there wouldn’t be an immediate financial hit from losing “Chappelle’s Show” like there would be if ABC suddenly lost “Desperate Housewives.”
If Chappelle doesn’t return, it also doesn’t necessarily mean Comedy Central is on the hook for a huge contract: part of his big-money deal is based on expected sales of future DVDs, according to industry reports.
“Chappelle’s Show” is behind only “South Park” as Comedy Central’s most-watched show, according to Nielsen Media Research. (“The Daily Show” ranks No. 5 in ratings for the network, although Stewart is arguably its biggest star.)
See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil
America's most important foreign policy venture is teetering on the edge of civil war, and new evidence shows the Bush administration likely fixed intelligence to justify war. But you might not have heard much about it. Though print media outlets have provided some coverage of the major stories in recent weeks, television media – still the primary source of news for most Americans – is failing miserably. America is being kept in the dark.THE MEMO THEY WON'T DISCUSS: Last week, a British newspaper released top-secret documents suggesting that "President Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair had conditionally agreed by July 2002 to invade Iraq."
In one memo from July '02, Britain's top intelligence official states that "he had returned from Washington, where there had been a 'perceptible shift in attitude. Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and [weapons of mass destruction]. But the intelligence and the facts were being fixed around the policy.'
The memo seemed to provide powerful new evidence that the Bush administration was willing to consciously manipulate intelligence to push forward its invasion plans. Since its release, however, the U.S. press has stayed silent. Days after its release, Salon columnist Joe Conason asked, "Are Americans so jaded about the deceptions perpetrated by our own government to lead us into war in Iraq that we are no longer interested in fresh and damning evidence of those lies?
THE CARNAGE THEY WON'T COVER: But according to ABC News, our television media simply doesn't care.

The Fight Over Jesus In South Dakota
Democrats are tired of letting Republicans own the faith and values message, so they are taking their case to the streets.A billboard campaign was launched Monday by the Minneheha County’s Grassroots Democrats, letting people know what their party stands for, says chairwoman Lisa Engels.
Green, black and white signs at Seventh Street and Minnesota Avenue and at Russell Street and Westport Avenue say: “Jesus cares for the poor, so do we. Democrats make America stronger.”
“The whole thing behind it is to counteract the Christian right and their so-called monopoly on religion,” Engels said. “They have been able to get out there and convince people that the flag wraps better around them than it does us, and that is not true.”

"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are [a] few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid." p.s. - Ironically, 50 years later, a Texas oil millionaire is trying to abolish social security as we know it, starve unemployment programs, weaken labor laws, and gut rural/farm programs.

Sick Priorities
Washington conservatives are firmly placing their boot onto the necks of the most vulnerable Americans – poor children, the elderly, pregnant women, and people with HIV/AIDS. Under the cover of high-profile fights over Social Security privatization and judicial filibusters, Congress has voted to slash Medicaid – the country's premier health program for the poor – by $10 billion over the next five years. Now, with the budget-crunching over, governors and state legislators have devised "sweeping changes" to deal with Congress's cuts, under which many low-income Americans will have to pay more for care and states will have "more latitude" to reduce and limit services. Governor Mike Huckabee (R-AR) put these priorities in perspective: "[T]o balance the federal budget off the backs of the poorest people in the country is simply unacceptable. You don't pull feeding tubes from people. You don't pull the wheelchair out from under the child with muscular dystrophy."FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY A LA CARTE: Why target Medicaid to begin with? Conservatives claim it's all about reducing the federal deficit, and point to the fact that federal and state spending on Medicaid has "grown an average of 10 percent a year over the last five years – much faster than federal or state revenues." But the reasons behind that growth show that targeting Medicaid is regressive and unnecessary. Medicaid has actually "contained spending, limiting annual per capita growth to 6.7 percent between 2002 and 2004," compared to 12.5 percent for private health insurance premiums. Its overall costs have increased because "enrollment grew by nearly 40 percent since 2000" thanks to the recession that "left many families without health coverage, squeezing states." Without Medicaid, the number of uninsured would have been much higher. Meanwhile, conservatives have cleared the way for $106 billion in new tax cuts over five years (as part of a budget that will "increase deficits over the next five years by $168 billion") while moving forward with pork-packed energy and transportation bills.
PICKING ON THE WEAK: So what's the real reason for going after Medicaid? Political analysts say "congressional leaders picked a program whose low-income beneficiaries were relatively less politically active. 'The poor and the disadvantaged do not vote,' said Rogan Kersh, a political science professor at Syracuse University who follows health-care issues."
THE DEEPEST CUTS: The severity of America's health care crisis is seen most vividly in the extreme moves some states are making to deal with cuts in Medicaid funding. A few states have pushed through wholesale cuts in coverage; Tennessee is dropping more than 300,000 people from its Medicaid rolls, while Missouri is cutting off 90,000. Meanwhile, New Hampshire yesterday became the first state in the nation to make "the poorest of the poor – even families with no income at all – contribute to their coverage." (Oregon tried a similar strategy two years ago, charging $6 to $20 a month for poor adults in an optional program, and "enrollment dropped by half in less than a year, from 100,000 to 51,000.") A newspaper in New Hampshire called the proposal an 'infamous moment' in the state history "comparable to the time a state senator suggested homosexuals should be allowed to donate blood 'as long as they donated all of it.'" (See American Progress's state-by-state analysis of the Medicaid cuts.)
IMPROVING MEDICAID THE RIGHT WAY: Plenty of options exist to improve Medicaid's performance without cost shifting to states or reducing coverage for people in need. A report by the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured reveals that all fifty states and the District of Columbia enacted some form of cost-containment measures in response to the rising cost of Medicaid in the past two years. American Progress has compiled some of the most progressive of these measures, like basic drug reimportation programs, multi-state prescription purchasing pools, and small business health insurance pools. Read about them in our issue brief on "Improving Medicaid's Performance."

Real But Forgotten
In one of the early scenes of The Matrix, the character Trinity meets Neo in a club and she tells him, "It's the question that drives us." Later Neo meets Morpheus, who describes this inherent curiosity as a "splinter in the mind." We are born into a world that is populated with stories, pregnant with multiple meanings. From our very entrance into the cosmos until death, the reality and presence of story envelops our lives. Like the deep-seated quest of Socrates to discover what, in fact, was the good life, we find ourselves asking questions and wanting answers. These questions are not mere curiosity, or intellectual pursuits; they carry enormous existential significance and importance. These questions haunt us.
Consider the following words from Lee Iacocca in Straight Talk: "Here I am in the twilight years of my life, still wondering what it’s all about… I can tell you this, fame and fortune is for the birds." Our minds are splintered—or made numb—with pressing inquiry: What is the point of it all? What gives our lives meaning? Novelist William H. Gass expresses a similar nagging reality. "Life is itself exile," he writes, "and its inevitability does not lessen our grief or alter the fact." Journalist Malcolm Muggeridge notes further, "The first thing I remember about the world—and I pray it may be the last—is that I was a stranger in it. This feeling which everyone has in some degree, and which is at once the glory and desolation of homosapiens, provides the only thread of consistency that I can detect in my life." Why are we here? Where are we going? Why do we find ourselves as strangers in exile? Is there a greater story we are a part of, but ignoring?
In the opening pages of the Lord of the Rings, the narrator tells us of the process whereby history became legend and legend became myth and slowly it was all forgotten. Tolkien's brilliant insight into what he deems our "real but forgotten" past is a telling representation of our current state of affairs. If the world and our life is the product of the Creator God, then though ignored or unknown, the echoes of our distant past and essential nature still call out to us. And they are calling.

" When I heard about Roger, I realized that I wasn't a Christian. I was a theologically sound evangelical, believed in all of the points of the Apostles Creed, and had declared Jesus to be my Savior. But I know now that if the Holy Spirit had actually been in me, I would have stood up for Roger."

Feeding Sheep or Amusing Goats ?
* I posted a message about this some time ago, but for some reason this has been resurfacing in my mind and soul lately. Thought I would reintroduce it for everyone, it really hits home to me and might do the same for those that have come from “consumer / purpose / seeker / insert clever adjective” churches :
Charles Haddon Spurgeon
1834-1892
An evil is in the professed camp of the Lord, so gross in its impudence, that the most shortsighted can hardly fail to notice it during the past few years. It has developed at an abnormal rate, even for evil. It has worked like leaven until the whole lump ferments. The devil has seldom done a cleverer thing than hinting to the church that part of their mission is to provide entertainment for the people, with a view to winning them.
From speaking out as the Puritans did, the church has gradually toned down her testimony, then winked at and excused the frivolities of the day. Then she tolerated them in her borders. Now she has adopted them under the plea of reaching the masses.
My first contention is that providing amusement for the people is nowhere spoken of in the Scriptures as a function of the church. If it is a Christian work, why did not Christ speak of it? "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15). That is clear enough So it would have been if He had added, "and provide amusement for those who do not relish the gospel." No such words, however, are to be found. It did not seem to occur to him.
Then again, "He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some evangelists; and some pastors and teachers .., for the work of the ministry" (Eph. 4:11-12). Where do entertainers come in? The Holy Spirit is silent concerning them. Were the prophets persecuted because they amused the people or because they refused? The concert has no martyr roll.
Again, providing amusement is in direct antagonism to the teaching and life of Christ and all his apostles. What was the attitude of the church to the world? Ye are the salt" (Matt. 5:13), not the sugar candy---something the world will spit out not swallow. Short and sharp was the utterance, "Let the dead bury their dead" (Matt. 8:22) He was in awful earnestness.
Had Christ introduced more of the bright and pleasant elements into his mission, he would have been more popular when they went back, because of the searching nature of His teaching. I do not hear him say, "Run after these people Peter and tell them we will have a different style of service tomorrow, something short and attractive with little preaching. We will have a pleasant evening for the people. Tell them they will be sure to enjoy it. Be quick Peter, we must get the people somehow." Jesus pitied sinners, sighed and wept over them, but never sought to amuse them.
In vain will the Epistles be searched to find any trace of this gospel of amusement! Their message is, "Come out, keep out, keep clean out!" Anything approaching fooling is conspicuous by its absence. They had boundless confidence in the gospel and employed no other weapon.
After Peter and John were locked up for preaching, the church had a prayer meeting but they did not pray, "Lord grant unto thy servants that by a wise and discriminating use of innocent recreation we may show these people how happy we are." If they ceased not from preaching Christ, they had not time for arranging entertainments. Scattered by persecution, they went everywhere preaching the gospel. They turned the world upside down (Acts 17:6). That is the only difference! Lord, clear the church of all the rot and rubbish the devil has imposed on her, and bring us back to apostolic methods.
Lastly, the mission of amusement fails to effect the end desired. It works havoc among young converts. Let the careless and scoffers, who thank God because the church met them halfway, speak and testify. Let the heavy laden who found peace through the concert not keep silent! Let the drunkard to whom the dramatic entertainment has been God's link in the chain of the conversion, stand up! There are none to answer. The mission of amusement produces no converts. The need of the hour for today's ministry is believing scholarship joined with earnest spirituality, the one springing from the other as fruit from the root. The need is biblical doctrine, so understood and felt, that it sets men on fire.

Voluntary Work
Dr. Ernesto Rafael Guevara de la Serna
(aka - Che Guevara)
" At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality. "
Our goal is that the individual feels the need to perform voluntary labor out of internal motivation, as well as because of the social atmosphere that exists. The two must go hand in hand. The atmosphere should help the individual feel the need to do voluntary work. But if it is simply the atmosphere, if it is simply moral pressure, then this just perpetuates what is known, for better or worse, as the alienation of man. Because then voluntary work is no longer something that comes from within oneself, something new, something done freely and no longer as a slave to work.
As we enter a new society, work cannot be considered the dark side of life but rather the opposite. Our educational task in the coming years is to transform work into a moral necessity, an internal necessity. We have to rid ourselves of the erroneous view—appropriate only to a society based on exploitation—that work is a disagreeable human necessity. We have to bring out work’s other aspect, as a human necessity within each individual.
Thoughts for May Day, when workers of the world still unite.
