Oh, Insty? Insty? Where are you, Insty?
: Glenn Reynolds isn't quite back up yet. The electricians are still working on his server. I envision his server being as big as a 1930s locomotive and they have to get up a big head of steam before he's back. But he will be back, chugging down the track...magicworkstation Keygen

: Glenn wonders how many were reading his backup. Well, in a matter of hours, it got to #16 on Blogdex.magicworkstation Keygen

Outting God
: Just as my servers went down this morning, I found this story that I couldn't blog. Damn, that hurt:

JESUS was gay – the University of Queensland gave $51,000 of public money to a PhD student to reach that conclusion.
Melbourne-based Rollan McCleary, who will today be awarded his doctorate, earned $17,000 a year to work on his three-year thesis on homosexual spirituality.
As well as his revelation about Christ, Dr McCleary has also reached the conclusion that three – or possibly four – of Jesus's chosen disciples were also gay....
Dr McCleary also believes that gay people find it easier to be Christian. "You don't have to be gay to be Christian, but it would be easier," he said.
Gay people, he said, were "looking for the ecstatic", sometimes in harmful ways, but were more inclined to be visionary and open to the transcendent.
He said Jesus's astrological chart, clues in the scriptures to which the churches had been blind and accurate biblical translations had all played a part in his conclusions. "The starting point is the matter of John, who always referred to himself as Jesus's beloved disciple," Dr McCleary said....

: I thought Australia was the land of tough he-men. First they have Jesus singing show tunes (starting with Jesus Christ, Superstar, of course). And now we have this from Down Under: Limp-spined sports stars who, their coach fears, will off themselves if they're off the team:

THE Matthew Capuano sacking affair took extraordinary twists yesterday when Richmond offered the ruckman a lifeline and Mick Malthouse suggested mid-season axings could lead to suicide....
Collingwood coach Malthouse warned the public humiliation could leave players emotionally traumatised.
"We do not want to be one of the sports who has the first player dropping off a bridge or swinging from a bridge," Malthouse said.

The Dowd diss
: Even Gawker is piling on Maureen Dowd:

I find Dowd's column encouraging on some level because if Maureen Dowd can have a column, anyone can have a column. But I can't read it without desperately wishing I could have those seconds of my life back immediately afterward.

: By the way, were Maureen Dowd and Blair Brown separated at birth... or do they just share the same '80s hairdresser.... or will Brown play Dowd in the movie of the Times? (And that's your cue, bloggers: cast the Times movie now. magicworkstation Keygen
