In other news, I forgot my coffee on the kitchen counter.

Blame SBL, not me!

Deadline has apparently been extended.

You’ll be tenured!
And joy will abound

Tonight, Professor Adele Reinhartz (McMaster PhD 1983) will deliver the Irish Theological Quarterly Lecture entitled "Shared Scriptures, Shared Questions: Jewish readings of the Christian Testament" at St. Patrick’s Pontifical University in Maynooth.

A man who has chosen to comb his hair like this for decades lacks at least two things:

Him: dad, let’s go check out that amazing supercar.

Me: dude, let’s go check out that station wagon and then the cargo capacity on that minivan.

Is RFK Jr. a 'Never Nude'? Human Health Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was mocked after releasing a video showing him swimming and working out in jeans with Kid Rock.
