Yeah, I know I'm not blogging on Saturday mornings anymore, but I ran across four (at least mildly) interesting things yesterday:
Paul Johnson offers his list of England's Top Ten Cathedrals.
__________
The controversial Jason Whitlock offers his spin on the Jena Six.
It's almost never mentioned that Bell's absentee father returned from Dallas and re-entered his son's life only after Bell faced attempted-murder charges. At a bond hearing in August, Bell's father and a parade of local ministers promised a judge that they would supervise Bell if he was released from prison.
Where were the promises and supervision before any of this?
It's rarely mentioned that Bell was already on probation for assault when he was accused of participating in Barker's attack. And it's never mentioned that white people in the “racist” town of Jena provided Bell support and protected his football career long before Jesse, Al, Bell's father and all the others took a sincere interest in Mychal Bell.

Multi-cultural U (a/k/a No Absolute Values U, a/k/a No Solid Thought U) invites Iran's president to speak.
__________
The Vatican will open a stamp and coin museum:
The Museum showcases the entire Vatican philatelic and numismatic production from 1929 to date, including a wide selection of postmarks, sketches, typographic plates, plasters, bronze casts, and other items illustrating the different stages in the productions of stamps and coins.
