A Little Happy: Scientifically proven good dance moves.

Last updated on: September 8, 2010 at 8:43 am By Cathleen Falsani

[wpvideo dloQ1be6] That white-man’s overbite move getting you nowhere, fellas? There’s a scientific explanation for why, and, happily, a scientific solution. Research by psychologists at Northumbria University in England reveals which dance moves, in particular, make men sexy to women. The enduring mystery of why men rarely flatter themselves when they take to the dancefloor may finally have been solved. A team of psychologists used video footage of men strutting their stuff to pinpoint the killer moves that separate good... Read more

Today … in God: Tuesday, September 7

Last updated on: September 7, 2010 at 9:51 am By Cathleen Falsani

From Peter Boyer in the New Yorker: “Inside C Street, Washington D.C.‘s Frat House for Jesus“: One midwinter night in 2008, Senator John Ensign, of Nevada, the chairman of the Senate Republican Policy Committee, was roused from bed when six men entered his room and ordered him to get up. Ensign knew the men intimately; a few hours earlier, he had eaten dinner with them, as he had nearly every Tuesday evening since he’d come to Washington. Now they were... Read more

DJ JEFF’S SPINTASMS: Springsteen’s tribute to Warren Zevon ~ “My Ride’s Here”

Last updated on: September 7, 2010 at 9:17 am By Cathleen Falsani

[wpvideo MkCZjUjw] It’s been seven years (today) since Warren Zevon made his Homegoing. How appropriate that DJ Jeff popped up with Springsteen’s rendition of Zevon’s “My Ride’s Here“? I’ve always loved this song. And boy do I miss Mr. Zevon and his beautiful gift of storytelling. May he be enjoying the Gloryland to the fullest. Bless him. MY RIDE’S HERE By the late, great Warren Zevon I was staying at the Marriott With Jesus and John Wayne I was waiting... Read more

Charles M. Blow in the New York Times on Religious Outliers With all of the consternation about religion in this country, it’s sometimes easy to lose sight of just how anomalous our religiosity is in the world. A Gallup report issued on Tuesday underscored just how out of line we are. Gallup surveyed people in more than 100 countries in 2009 and found that religiosity was highly correlated to poverty. Richer countries in general are less religious. But that doesn’t... Read more

Labor Day: Ora et labora

Last updated on: September 5, 2010 at 5:15 pm By Cathleen Falsani

The great men among the ancients understood very well how to reconcile manual labour with affairs of state, and thought it no lessening to their dignity to make the one the recreation to the other. That indeed which seems most generally to have employed and diverted their spare hours, was agriculture. Gideon among the Jews was taken from threshing, as well as Cincinnatus amongst the Romans from the plough, to command the armies of their countries … and, as I... Read more

GODSTUFF: The mirror has two faces

Last updated on: August 25, 2010 at 8:15 pm By Cathleen Falsani

Six years ago, I sat down with a young Illinois state senator for a lengthy interview about his faith. At the time, the fresh-faced politician with an unusual name was still toiling in relative obscurity in Chicago. When my “spiritual profile” of Barack Obama ran in the Chicago Sun-Times, it was greeted with modest interest, mostly for the novelty of a Democratic candidate speaking at length about religion. That all changed a few months later, when Obama, by then a... Read more

Ross Luippold over at HuffPo has a great piece on some of the other wackadoodle things 1 in 5 Americans believe, in addition to the “fact” that President Obama is a Muslim. They include: 1 in 5 Americans can’t identify the United States on a map. (No, REALLY.) 1 in 5 Americans believe the sun revolves around the earth. (No word on how many believe the Earth is flat.) 1 in 5 Americans believe the lottery is a sound financial... Read more
