Sometimes

an individual is perfectly placed to create an on-going wealth of stories from the news.

Sarah Palin: Un-Christian behavior?

While some might call her behaviour un-Christian, alas, there's a whole school of 'subdue the earth by using up it's resources' and 'pray for war in Israel to hasten Jesus' return' Christians who see nothing wrong with hiring their friends and firing people they don't like. There are whole sections of Jesus' sayings in the Gospels that they just ignore completely in order to focus on some of the juicier Old Testment smitings and rewardings. They are very frightening...

(And Douglas Todd's newspaper and blog articles are great.)
