Frequently Searched Questions: I’m so Afraid of a Romney Presidency

Last updated on: November 2, 2012 at 9:17 am By Alan Noble

The following are actual search terms people typed into Google (Yahoo?) which directed them to CaPC. In most cases they didn’t find the answer they were looking for on our site. FSQ is an attempt to remedy this problem by answering some of the most (de)pressing questions sent to us through search terms. This week, the theme is Sex, and it is rated SoS (Song of Solomon, or Song of Songs if you’re one of those people) for figurative and possibly irrelevant... Read more

Play in Process: Tokyo Jungle is the Ultimate Game About the Rapture

Last updated on: November 1, 2012 at 11:52 pm By Richard Clark

Each week in Play in Process, Richard Clark shares what he’s been playing and why it matters. There are very few games in existence that are centered around the Rapture. Of those games, I know of exactly zero that are any good. There’s a reason for that: the rapture is a relatively binary event. People are here, then people are not here. End of rapture. That’s no fun. The fallout that comes after the rapture, that’s the interesting part. The Left... Read more

The Moviegoer: Bernhardt “Bernie” Tiede, Angel of Death?

Last updated on: November 5, 2012 at 3:48 pm By Nick Olson

Each week in The Moviegoer, Nick Olson examines new and upcoming films. The film (and the story it’s based on) has been around, but just in case: Spoiler Alert! Bernie is available via Redbox and Netflix steaming. Widely considered unpleasantly cold by her town neighbors and even family members, Marjorie Nugent (Shirley MacLaine)–a recently widowed 81 year old millionaire–has been found dead, buried in her own freezer. But not only does her plight go unnoticed for nine months, Marjorie’s murder, when... Read more

It’s Not the Economy, Stupid: Why I Think a Civil Rights Issue Will Determine the Election

Last updated on: November 1, 2012 at 10:04 am By Brad Williams

There is a lot of talk about the economy in this election. It overshadowed the content of the Presidential debates. Even when asked about foreign policy, the candidates, especially Romney, shifted the discussion to the economy’s anemia. Every time an employment rate update hits the news, both sides try to spin the numbers to their advantage. From all appearances, this election will be won or lost depending on who Americans believe to be the most competent in handling the finances... Read more

Mixed Signals: War Child PSA Turns Bullets into Crayons

Last updated on: October 31, 2012 at 11:20 pm By Erin Straza

Communication is plentiful today. Messages arrive via other people, e-mail, radio, TV, mobile devices, mail, telephone, and the Web. The sound is deafening. Message overload is the norm. Marketing specialists look for creative ways to slice through the cacophony, to capture our interest long enough with a message riveting enough to make an impression. It isn’t easy. Our attention is hard to gain, and we are a difficult audience to impress. That’s why I get so excited when a message... Read more

The Hermeneutic Failure that Is Making Leprosy Hard to Kill

Last updated on: October 31, 2012 at 11:32 pm By Nick Rynerson

It is safe to say that when most people think of the biblical commands to love our neighbors and serve the poor, lepers are not prioritized on the agenda. However, there are still almost a quarter of a million people worldwide suffering from leprosy. The Atlantic recently put out a small and informative overview of the history and eradication of leprosy. Yet, in many parts of the world, there is significant hold up in the elimination of the disease. [Leprosy’s]... Read more

Hudson Valley Weather: Good Neighbors

Last updated on: October 31, 2012 at 9:20 am By Erin Wyble Newcomb

It’s the day after Hurricane Sandy swept through the Hudson Valley, the place I call home, and the recovery work is only just beginning. The region is making national headlines, not because of the damage done, but because of the distress averted by the Facebook page “Hudson Valley Weather.” In Forbes, Todd Essig writes that the site exploded in popularity (and prepared the region for the storm) with three steps: “have expertise, enable activity both online and off, support (not...
