this day in history, Achsah (Alse) Young was the first person on record to be executed for being a witch. Once again, not the finest moment in the history of Christians, who used scripture to justify these executions. We're so afraid of what we can't understand, and we're sometimes so quick to use God's Word to get rid of those who are different - virtually ignoring everything that Christ said.

Terry Foster continues to win my respect. He's a great sportswriter out of the D and has some great insights into everything he covers. His show w/ Mike Valenti on 1270 WXYT is hands down the best (sports) talk radio in the area. Check out his
blog. His last entry (May 27) is a personal one and one of His best
- In one of the most anticipated series debuts in tv history, fans of Flock of Seagulls, Vanilla Ice, Sophie B. Hawkins, and yes... even WANG CHUNG (!!) get a chance to see them struggle for one last shot at musical greatness, on '
Hit Me Baby One More Time'. No, I'm not joking - this show is for real. And all sarcasm aside, this could be a sleeper hit. I'll watch! Premiers Thursday, June 2.
Peace out..
