My Lifelong Attraction to Magnet Schools

Last updated on: January 24, 2011 at 9:19 pm By Christian Piatt

My Lifelong Attraction to Magnet Schools By Christian Piatt (Originally published in PULP) I grew up in Dallas, where the question, “where did you go to school?” meant something very different than it did in Pueblo. There was a sort of constant jockeying for positions on the status ladder, part of which was identified both by the grade school you attended (hopefully private, of course), and then by the caliber of school you went on to from there. I was... Read more

Review of SPLIT TICKET book in Sojourners Magazine

Split Ticket: Independent Faith in a Time of Partisan Politics, edited by Amy Gopp, Christian Piatt, Brandon Gilvin. Chalice Press. Reviewed Jess O. Hale Jr. In the U.S. it seems almost every policy matter gets entangled in a war of partisan politics from which little emerges, too often only a shadow of what is needed. Just look at the results...

Why the Ground Zero Mosque should be built

Last updated on: December 10, 2010 at 8:42 pm By Christian Piatt

A surprising contingency of people seems to have their knickers in a knot about the so-called mosque at Ground Zero. What once was a retail clothing store has been sitting abandoned for years prior to these plans being drawn up. And though the common-sense response to rehabilitation of urban blight would be hearty support, it’s become a political and social lightning rod. As can be the case all too often with emotionally-charged debates, people don’t wait for the facts to... Read more

House of the Rising Stench | P.U.L.P: Pueblo Colorado

Last updated on: December 6, 2010 at 6:19 pm By Christian Piatt

NewSpin: House of the Rising Stench Written by Christian Piatt December 2010 There’s a home down the street from us that’s affectionately known by neighbors – particularly those within smelling distance – as “The Toilet.” On warm days, the distinct smells of decaying garbage and slow-rotting feces waft through the air. Gross, right? Try living by it. The Toilet, which some might call a rental property, sits at 1724 N. Grand and is the bane of the block. In a... Read more

Band plays a show entirely using iPhones

Last updated on: December 2, 2010 at 3:54 am By Christian Piatt

I should precede my comments by pointing out I studied music in high school and college, and though I am far from a purist, I expect there’s some deep-seeded music snobbery in me. I found this video of a band called Atomic Tom playing one of their songs on the New York subway both exhilarating and distressing. What’s so incredible about their performance is that they use now instruments, yet they’re still performing. They do the whole song using nothing... Read more

Why Colbert and Stewart matter to politics

Last updated on: November 20, 2010 at 3:18 pm By Christian Piatt

Newspin By Christian Piatt (Originally published in PULP) By the time this goes to press, political satirists John Stewart and Stephen Colbert will have conducted their “March to Restore Sanity” and the “Rally to Keep Fear Alive,” respectively, in Washington, D.C. Seen by many as a direct response to Glenn Beck’s rally in the same city on the anniversary of Martin Luther King, Junior’s “I Have a Dream” speech, Stewart explained in a recent interview on National Public Radio, such...
