Throw the radio in the bathtub

Went into the garage yesterday and found my push broom broken. Second time. Looking to save money, found this video and I'm stoked. Can't wait to get home and get to work.

Some of you remember the seventies when Alex Haley helped North American blacks get in touch with their African roots?

Forty years later, my wife Mary Lee is helping me get in touch with my Scots-Irish roots.

I'd taken baby steps a couple years ago by reading Senator Jim Webb's Born Fighting: How the Scots-Irish Shaped America. Then, a couple months ago after I'd shocked myself by voting for The Donald, Mary Lee cajoled me into reading Richard Davids's The Man Who Moved a Mountain. Finishing that one, she wheedled me into reading J. D. Vance's Hillbilly Elegy (2016).

Remember the Who's "Who Are You?"...

The word from Governor Pence is that his transition team has Tim Keller slated for a new cabinet-level position titled Secretary of Human Flourishing.

Isn't that very awesome? I know he can do it, and what a coup for the PCA!

When Russ Moore heard, he got a little snippy for a time, but now he's bounced back.

Last week this same grand jury indicted the board of trustees of Washington D.C.'s Holocaust Museum on charges of hate speech. Two weeks ago they indicted the Lincoln Memorial on charges of quoting Scripture and speaking of God's judgment in a public accommodation.

Honestly, I don't get it. Who sleeps in the Lincoln Memorial? I thought they closed it at night?

Drones controlled by robots can fly a pattern precise enough to trim your beard and mustache. A little while and you won't need women to serve communion.

Labor laws have exempted restaurants from paying tipped waitstaff normal minimum wage. Instead they've only had to pay a "tipped minimum" to employees whose tips combined with hourly wages averaged at or above the minimum wage paid other workers. Workers in the back of the restaurant don't share the tips waitstaff receive which has led to a growing disparity between waiters, sommeliers, and bartenders, and back of house staff. Cooks make significantly less than waitstaff, but with changes resulting from the recent minimum wage uprising among fast food workers, it's about to get worse.

The tipped minimum wage currently is $5 and the full minimum is $8.75. Starting in January the state tipped minimum will go up fifty percent, from $5 to $7.50, while the regular minimum wage will go up only twenty-five cents, from $8.75 to $9. With cooks working simply for wages and waitstaff adding tips to wages, the inequality between cooks and waiters will get worse.

This has led New York City restauranteur, Danny Meyer, to announce an end to tipping in the thirteen restaurants...

Be nice if Brandon took his Humans of New York (HONY) project a couple hours south, to Philly. He could rename his site "HOP." And if he were lucky, he might catch some world-famous Reformed theologian and writer out for an afternoon sashay. (Don't miss the caption and comments.)

That buffet of idolatry, Patheos, just published a respectful hack-job on John Piper and all his male-prerogative-peers. Titled "Beyond Biblical Manhood and Womanhood," it's written by this guest contributor who wants a job preaching to men. Why won't John Piper get her a job?

This is a screenshot of the final couple inches of the piece. When you're done with the picture (go ahead, we'll wait), read the text carefully—all the way to the bottom where she introduces her hash tag links to heresy. Catch it?

After decades of counselling husbands and wives, this short video provided more of a catharsis than "What About Bob." Almost.
