Faith Forum: Who is your favorite lesser-known Bible character and why?

Noah's wife. We're not even sure of her name, although is was possibly Naamah. How would you like to be married to the same old drunkard for about 935 years and be cooped up in a boat with two of every animal of earth for 40 days and nights? What a woman!

100 years ago: Passengers injured when streetcar overturns

I love the old-style journalistic writing. It wouldn't be acceptable today, but it seems like it embodied more "truth" even if less "fact."

Dogs get their shot at glory at annual flying disc competition

What a great story. Not one word about sex, religion, politics, or violence. Maybe the dogs have the right idea.

Lawrence attorney disbarred, accused of $200,000 ethics violation

How does violation of the bank's internal policy equate to disbarment and loss of a professional license issued by the state? On the surface it sounds like grounds for termination for cause, but not disbarment. He was an employee who violated his agreement with his employer, so fire him. Sounds like there is more to this story......

Was there a conflict of interest of some kind in the legal work he did "on the side" and his work for the bank? Was he "double dipping" somehow? Those would seem like grounds for disbarment, if they happened.

Gov. Brownback says he'll attend President Obama's event in Lawrence if he's invited

The real question is will the WBC show up? Like most bullies, they are really just a bunch of cowards, and I doubt they would want to deal with professionals like the Secret Service.

At university in Massachusetts, students pay to walk on campus

.....If you drive a car, I'll tax the street,
If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat.
If you get too cold I'll tax the heat,
If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet.

Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman.....

The Beatles had it right almost 50 years ago.....

Lawrence man arrested after answering door with a gun

I have answered the door at midnight once or twice with my .357 in hand. But the article implies that he was arrested for the earlier complaint of aggravated assault, and not for answering the door heavy.

Do you think there is ever a situation in which books should be banned from a library?

Of course, Sambo was Indian, not African.
