Alexander doesn’t mention sexual orientation. Does the Post have gay (and lesbian and bisexual and transgender and questioning…) journalists in the correct proportions? And how about ideological diversity? In the 2008 exit polls, 23 percent of voters described themselves as white, Protestant, born-again or evangelical Christians. A survey of American religion said that 34 percent of Americans describe themselves as evangelical or born-again. How many editors and reporters at the Post would describe themselves that way? I’ll bet that born-again Christians are the...

That might seem like a lot to some observers, but Alexander notes that minorities are 43 percent of the people in the Washington area, and it’s essential that the newsroom staff mirror the community the paper is serving. Well, maybe. As a longtime Post reader, I don’t really know which of the editors and reporters are nonwhite, and I don’t really care. I would hope that the Post would hire the best reporters and editors, in order to put out the best possible paper — with the best possible reporting, writing, copyediting, proofreading, and analysis. But if reflecting the comm...

They run a little church in Texas called Lakewood. It seats 16,000 people. (It used to be a basketball court…for the Houston Rockets.) You’ve probably seen Joel evangelize on TV or read one of his New York Times bestselling books. This Jesus freak must be doing something right, but we just don’t quite get it. Are you attending “A Night of Hope with Joel and Victoria” right now at the Izod Center in the Meadowlands, New Jersey? Or have you ever attended one of their events? If so, we’d love to know. Tell us about it below!

John Ensign Scandal: Senate Republicans Decline To Defend Colleague: "'I have a little alert to tell Washington,' Ensign said during the televised hearings. 'The people don't trust us. They don't trust us to make these decisions.'"It is the usual tranparent appeal to the prejudices of the wingnut social conservative fringe, who can be depended upon to take the assertion as gospel. On the other hand, it's a pretty moronic idea for a Senator be flinging around - because there is no more important thing than having a government that you CAN trust to "make those decisions." That is, after all, the job.The man often referred to as "the Hairdo" by his critic is not the sort of man that it is wise t...

That means teaching kids about all of the choices related to sexual activity ranging from contraception to abstinence. How about that?…let’s arm our children with good solid information and then guide them to make the best choices for themselves.Even self-identifying evangelical Christians said they supported comprehensive sex education. The lowest support came from the “very conservative” subset of the population and even then 71% supported comprehensive programs.The study’s lead author, Norman Constantine of the Public Healt...

Thanks to everyone who is sending me more links to add to the list. It’s the fault of violent video games. It’s the fault of movies. It’s that no other students were armed. It’s the cowardly students who didn’t rush the shooter. It’s the first victim’s fault. It’s secularism’s fau...
