Time Magazine’s cover story this week is “Does God Want You to be Rich?” It seems to be a toss up, with various preachers and biblical passages supporting various views. As has been covered many a times before- you can find support for pretty much anything in the Bible, as long as you’re willing to ignore similar passages that contradict the one you chose.
Blah, blah, blah. The Bible is confusing. Got it.

On a more amusing note, the following multiple choice question appeared on page 88.
Which of the following did not happen last week?
A) President Bush revealed plans to appoint Clay Aiken to his Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities
B) Former House majority leader Tom DeLay asked supporters to vote for country singer Sara Evans on Dancing with the Stars
C) Three Senators nominated Jerry Lewis to receive the Congressional Gold Medal
D) Congress pass an immigration bill
The correct answer is D.
This unfortunately underlines the major reason I shall never be able to run for any political office: I just don’t know enough (really, anything) about pop culture.
