BiV over at Mormon Matters posted a link to the Mormon Song from the Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien. Apparently, Senator Orrin Hatch wrote a Hannukah Song, which I found really catchy, and Conan tried to follow suit, even including his on Tapper-nacle Choir to help him out. This is my first video ever, so I’m hoping it works. (Update: Even though I upgraded to Wordpress 2.9, which supposedly has built in video support, it isn’t working as advertised. It was supposed to embed videos, but I’ll have to just post the links here. For anyone out there who know how to embed videos into Wordpress, please let me know.)

President Obama swatted and killed a fly on television, and PETA is upset about it. In case you think I’m making this up, here is the link from MSNBC. Let me quote:
PETA is sending President Barack Obama a Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher, a device that allows users to trap a house fly and then release it outside.
“We support compassion even for the most curious, smallest and least sympathetic animals,” PETA spokesman Bruce Friedrich said Wednesday. “We believe that people, where they can be compassionate, should be, for all animals.”
I’m all for the ethical treatment of animals, but not insects, and especially flies. This is truly unbelievable. I wonder what their position is on mosquitos. Anybody know?
Ok, it’s always nice to be creative when proposing. But hiding the ring in a milkshake, and then having a race to finish the shake is a really bad idea. Yep, she swallowed it! You can read more here. (Oh yeah, they’re LDS.)
You have got to read this post over at Normal Mormons. It’s hilarious!
This is an unusual post for me on 2 counts. (1) I generally hate lessons on tithing, because I don’t think there’s much new to say on the topic. (2) I tried to read “The Screwtape Letters” by CS Lewis a few years ago, and just couldn’t get through the book. I’ve heard many people quote CS Lewis, especially from this book, but I just didn’t like it. However, I did like the movie “Shadowlands” which was based on some true stories of Mr Lewis.
A friend of mine gave me a copy of Sunstone, the magazine. I’ve never read it before, and have really wanted to get it for quite some time. I am very grateful to my friend for giving it to me. I read the articles he suggested, as well as many others that he didn’t, and came across a really interesting one by Jeff Burton.
