We’re in the air again, my family and me and today’s newspaper.
This time it’s the Daily Telegraph, dominated on Page 14 by a large ad for the latest iPad. Beside it, a smaller story on how one in four U.K. teachers wouldn’t send their own kids to the schools they teach in.

SANTA FE, N.M. I’m in America’s oldest state capital, in Café Olé, with a sandwich and drink and new hope to never become a moron.
Here for some postgrad studies, I’m also enjoying a recent copy of America’s satirical news tabloid, The Onion.

So what would Jesus say?
I mean about this debate on T-shirts that bear his name, and freedom of expression and religious tolerance and these sort of very Canadian things.

BERLIN – So Hitler was called to lurk among us. And never showed. Not even in Germany.
This regarding Kony 2012, the strange and shrinking campaign that in its posters — now hung virtually nowhere — features Hitler idling behind warlord Joseph Kony and Osama bin Laden.
