"The only foundation for... a republic is to be laid in Religion. Without this there can be no virtue, and without virtue there can be no liberty, and liberty is the object and life of all republican governments." ~Dr. Benjamin Rush

Applause, Applause!
It appears as if the writers' strike may be coming to an end. You can read about it here. The bad news is that some networks may not bring back some shows and either cancel them for low viewership or just to start them again in the fall. ABC has talked about filming 7 or 8 new episodes of "Desperate Housewives" and "Gray's Anatomy," but have not mentioned any other shows. That may be because no one watches any of their other shows! According to reports, producers are to start back on Monday to prepare for writer to return on Wednesday. Whatever happens we will not see an extension of this season. I, for one, can't wait for the return of "The Office!"
The Canterbury Tales
I spent an evening reading different blogs which had on opinion on the Archbishop's statements. There was a general consensus that Rowan Williams had, indeed, gone round the bend. A number of the general synod (I guess that's the leadership within the Church of England) and the bishops of the Anglican Church (those of Africa) have called for Williams' resignation. Here are 2 articles from The Times of London; here and here. In googling information, I found that before Christmas he announced the nativity as myth. See the details here.
