Pretty Sure

I went to church yesterday with my parents and in her sermon, the minister showed us a full-page ad from the New York Times of May 17th. It laid out a plan for ending the war and was signed by 2500 religious leaders of many faiths throughout our country. The tagline at the bottom, which Reebee quoted, was When Jesus said 'love your enemies' we're pretty sure he meant don't kill them.

I would love to see the ad, but can't find it online. Anyone have better google-fu than I or a hardcopy of that paper from which they could scan or type in the text?

EDIT: Thanks to bex77 for finding a PDF of the ad here

Remarkable

From Slate's Today's Papers:

Notably, the Times doesn't just get its information from officials, as the reporters also take a close look at a plot to carry out a suicide bombing in an airport in Jordan that was broken up. The investigation into the plot revealed a "connection between the people who planned the attack and militants in Iraq," says the NYT.

Not that this is news, but apparently it's now remarkable when reporters don't merely regurgitate the press releases of the administration, but actually investigate a story. What will we come to next? Teachers instructing pupils? Doctors treating sick people?

Gossip

Now, gossip, by its very definition, is trivial; on the other hand, is there a better way to really understand something than by appreciating all of its various trivialities? We don't cherish our friends simply because they're great thinkers, or saintly, or for any such lofty concerns. Rather it's a combination of all the small, trivial facets that combine to shape the image we carry of them; it's the complex final pattern, with all its daily shifts and adjustments, that we cherish.
