...Carlin [March 29]. The man continues to evolve as he delights and offends everyone, everywhere, equally, reminding us all to lighten up. I consider myself a good, spiritual person, but I could no longer stomach the hypocrisy I found in many organized church services.

...Magi are not the familiar three kings of Christmas legend (later piety gave them names, ages, races and crowns), but rather an unspecified number of astrologers, perhaps from Babylon.

He had lived quietly in a nearby capital, referring to Iraq by a code name. But after Baghdad's liberation, Robert was ready to roll. He planned to enter Iraq with a secular humanitarian team--a kind of traveling tentmaker--but assumed that his workers could come in later on their own, printing up Arabic-language tracts in anticipation. Not all missionaries supported the Iraq war, but Robert identified personally...
