Hellooo

Well, I had been getting better about posting regularly, until this past week. But I have a good excuse, my cousin Jeff, his wife Andria, and the adorable Haylee were in town.

Update with pictures later, for now there's a good article up on RelevantMagazine.com about the portrayal of religion in The Simpsons.
...even a Jewish Rabbi, Daniel Wolpe, has found the show (and book) helpful in his teachings. "The Simpsons occasionally makes fun of hypocrisy in religion, but not the ideals of religion," Wolpe said. "Some of the episodes that I like best might be called, 'Homer Learns a Lesson.' Usually in those episodes, Homer winds up with new respect for religious values."

The book mentioned is The Gospel According to the Simpsons by Mark Pinsky, which I definitely have to buy.
