876 A way to catch up
Two of my favorite cable TV programs are not commerical, and both are on C-Span: Booknotes and Washington Journal. If you need to catch up on your history, politics or current events reading, this is the place to do it--painlessly. You can get the transcript or watch the video of the program. They also sell video tapes of the programs. And coffee cup mugs.Today I selected Martin Marty, Professor Emeritus at University of Chicago, discussing his new book on Martin Luther. I'm not a fan of his writing, but thought, "It's hard to mess up a biography of Luther, so let's see what he has to say." I turned back to find another program after he proudly said he was Lutheran because he was born Lutheran, and that if he'd been born in India he'd probably be a Hindu. That's a pretty limp testimony for a Christian. I guess he's never heard the proverb that God has no grandchildren.

Right now I'm viewing the visit to the National Constitution Center on Washington Journal, on March 4. Fascinating information with wonderful statues representing the founders.The callers comments are interesting, even the flagrantly misinformed, such as the gentleman saying you can be arrested for checking out the Koran from a public library (Patriot Act alarmist alert). The callers who claim the founders would roll over in their graves are usually on totally opposite sides.
