== Boy Scout Centennial and the Mainstream Media ==
To give credit where credit is due, the ABC show Good Morning America did recognize the Boy Scout centennial. See here: [http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Weekend/boys-scouts-america-celebrate-centennial/story?id=9770524] --[[User:Whizkid|Whizkid]] 11:55, 24 February 2010 (EST)
: Well, that's a far cry from CBS, CNN, ABC, NBC, etc., prime time, and the New York Times, Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, Houston Chronicle, Chicago Tribune, etc.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 13:38, 24 February 2010 (EST)
:: True, but while we legitimately criticize the media for all the things they do wrong, it's also good to praise those individual media outlets on the rare occassion one of them gets something right.--[[User:Whizkid|Whizkid]] 13:47, 24 February 2010 (EST)
== Spelling error in Joe Biden headline ==
The word "soundbyte" should be spelled "soundbite". --[[User:ChrisY|ChrisY]] 10:17, 26 February 2010 (EST)
: Great catch. I fixed it as you suggested. Perhaps "soundbite" is a [[Essay:Best New Conservative Words|best new conservative word]]?--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 10:26, 26 February 2010 (EST)
::Seems pretty neutral to me, but I'll leave that call to others. --[[User:ChrisY|ChrisY]] 11:40, 26 February 2010 (EST)
== Not worth a headline, but interesting news ==
[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/26/pieces-of-rare-biblical-m_n_477901.html An interesting story:] Pieces of ancient Biblical scrolls containing ''The Song of the Seas'' were reunited after independent researchers noted similarities between the scroll fragments in the photos of them from different articles. They followed up, and after a series of scientific and literary tests concluded they were from the same actual scroll, and reunited them. It makes one wonder if there is, or could be, and international online clearing house where documentation and photos can be collected so other potential matches and restoration could be facilitated. --[[User:ChrisY|ChrisY]] 11:39, 26 February 2010 (EST)
:Great story ... I think it is worth a headline! I agree that the internet should be used more to facilitate this kind of work.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 11:45, 26 February 2010 (EST)
== Typos in VisionVictory news story ==
The story should be revised to replace "that is appears" with "that it appears", and "which has reported" with "which has been reported". --[[User:ChrisY|ChrisY]] 20:34, 26 February 2010 (EST)
== In the news - King Solomon's wall ==
I am not religious, but I still find the news interesting from a historical and an archaeological point of view. I thought many of you would find this interesting also from a religious point of view, so... there you go :)

: Great suggestion! I've posted it. I also urge you to check out the most logical book ever written: the Bible. It's so logical that it is difficult for many to accept.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 22:00, 26 February 2010 (EST)
::I've already read the Bible several times, and although I do not agree with everything in it, I find it a great book. However, I must admit I'm not too fond of certain lengthy genealogy passages, and I normally just skip them :p --[[User:Maquissar|Maquissar]] 22:03, 26 February 2010 (EST)
:::Nothing wrong with skimming or skipping the genealogy passages. But typically claims of having "read the Bible" refer to reading as a youth in the distant past. That's very different from reading it as an adult with an open mind, and reading it regularly.
:::Former professional athletes who talk about being in great shape (in the past) are often in terrible physical shape after retirement.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 22:13, 26 February 2010 (EST)
::::The number of books that I still have to read - for pleasure, but also for duty - is enormous, and my lifetime is limited. I still re-read passages from the Bible from time to time, and I plan of re-reading it entirely - (genealogy passages excepted :P) in the near future. But at the same time, I'd also like to learn completely new lessons from books I haven't read yet. --[[User:Maquissar|Maquissar]] 22:17, 26 February 2010 (EST)
:::::Maquissar, there's a force that pulls you and many others away from the Bible. It's the same force that pulls people into depression, anxiety, addiction and despair. Overcome the force and give it a try to read the Bible on a regular basis. Time is not a valid objection because it only takes a few minutes a day. You won't be disappointed.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 22:22, 26 February 2010 (EST)
== Middle School Gets Into 'Matchmaking' ==
The story I just added to the Main Page highlights the state of [[public schools]] better than most. Not just because of the silly dating fund-raising, but the lack of judgment on the part of the [[liberal]] "professionals" running the school district. It seems really odd that there wasn't one faculty or administrative staffer that didn't realize what a problematic, really stupid idea it was! --<big>[[User:TK|'''ṬK''']]</big><sub>/Admin</sub><sup>[[User_Talk:TK|/Talk]]</sup> 23:44, 26 February 2010 (EST)
