When I read of Moyers' passing this week, it was like a gut punch. He was one of America's most prescient and moral thinkers.

Interesting insights into Paul Pressler, who was a mentor to our current House Speaker Mike Johnson. He is very firm that it's possible to completely separate his politics and personal life from his religion. Seems pretty convenient in retrospect, given his later controversies over sexual abuse of young men.

Closing thought. The 1980s were one of America's most terrible eras in terms of hair styles.
