Keep me posted on the details. If it's humanly possible, I'll be there, mandolin case in hand! And this time perhaps you and Jeremy can convert me to the marvel that is Justin Timberlake.

Jon observes something that I have commented on in the past: there are telltale signs of conspiracy theories and much of the thought in our circles as conservative Christians manifests all the classic symptoms. Young earth creationism is a perfect example (as is anti-Roman Catholicism). The truth or falsity of the claims of young earth creationists is beside the point here; the issue is that their approach to the issues is all too often the approach of conspiracy theorists. Conspiracy theories have a noxious effect on society and its public discourse. For this reason, if I were to have children I would prefer to have them educated by an atheistic evolutionist who would train them to think critically and engage with the best that science has to offer, than a conservative evangelical who would teach them conspiracy theories about science and discourage them from truly engaging with those with whom they disagree (I hope that I will never be called to make such a choice). ***Jon also has a helpful post on the subject of Richard Gaffin’s interaction with Rich Lusk (see here for further comment). ***Preparing tomorrow’s soldier [HT: Jon Barlow] ***The world’s oldest living man (116) puts his long life down to the fact that he has never been married. ***Ireland sends Pakistan home in the cricket World Cup. Makes up for the heartbreak of the rugby, I guess. Sadly, the joy of Ireland’s victory has since been overshadowed by the tragic death of Bob Woolmer. ***Herschelle Gibbs scores six sixes in a row, a first for one day cricket. The minnows in the World Cup have really suffered this year; four of the five highest margins of victory in the World Cup (by runs) have been recorded in the last week. ***Tony Blair meets Catherine Tate. Catchphrase comedy generally annoys me greatly, but I grinned at a few points in the last minute of this sketch, despite myself. ***Weird Al parodies Dylan (not anywhere near as funny as ‘White and Nerdy’, but funny nonetheless) and (a fairly good imitator of) Dylan sings Seuss [HT: Mark Traphagen].

Wyman's a former BHT fellow and contributor at Communio Sanctorum, now published author who's launched a blog based on the book, and indeed, he has <a href="http://walkingtogether.typepad.com/walking_together/2007/03/dylan_mockedan_.html" rel="nofollow">publicly rebuked you</a> at my request :) But I promise he won't get sick on you. (I can't believe I put the "k" on that word. I'm the dolt, it appears.) I love "Jack of Hearts," too. Sorry, Mark - in this big blogosphere, I sometimes forget who knows whom.

Unless you are like my grandchildren who can watch the movie Cars continuously into eternity. Jack of Hearts is pretty clever, though, so like a really good novel I can revisit it if enough time has gone by since the last read/listen.
