The NCAA has ousted Focus on the Family from its web site, canning the organization’s banner ad amid concerns by some of its members over the evangelical group’s stance against gay and lesbian relationships. There were several tweets this morning on this development that ran the gamut from delight to outrage, with the requisite name-calling on both sides of the issue, as one would expect. I chose this one for only one reason: The Mr. Spock profile picture (hope it’s not too small to make out). I figured that a Vulcan would be the perfect person to mediate this dispute. Not only would he concentrate on facts on not be swayed by partisan concerns, but according to the last movie, he has the ability to go back in time and straighten stuff out. Very comforting seeing him there. Here’s the LA Times’ take on the controversy, so check that out and form your own opinion. I’ll be consoling Tim Tebow.
To the last, Friday, I grapple with thee; from hell’s heart, I stab at thee; for hate’s sake, I spit my last breath at thee.”

The Ceylon Lorikeet, or John Daly? You be the judge: “At dusk, rejoins the flock to settle in at night at some leafy retreat. Sometimes will show up late for bedtime, and is known to get intoxicated from palm wine.”
