Deborah 13: servant of God
im watching this documentary on bbc about a thirteen year old girl who is going to go out into the world and spread her beliefs to a wider audience. I haven't gotten to the part of how she is doing this, but they are making it seem like she will be leaving her family, which seems rather wrong. However, what i find interesting that such a devout evangelical girl, who wants to save the world, obviously has a gay brother. Just a random thought...

Correction: Previous Post
They started the video podcasts on the 2nd not the 3rd for the Rachel Maddow Show.
The Rachel Maddow Show-Podcast
If you don't have a tv (or don't have US television stations), MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show is free on itunes in video and audio podcast form! I had never watched the show before, but while browsing for new podcasts I saw it was available, checked it out, and I love it. It only became available on video this week (as they only have videos for 3/3/09 and onward), but they also have an audio version (great for when I'm trekking around town).
I'm one of the only people who never really got into The Daily Show, and I think that's because ultimately it's a comedy show that does news. The Rachel Maddow show is a news program that does comedy (usually dry and sarcastic). I have mad respect for Jon Stewart and the whole Daily Show crew--but it just ain't my style. I also can't get it for free on itunes, so there. Oh and Jon Stewart isn't the first out and proud lesbian reporter with her own show... that's pretty bad ass if you ask me.
The March 3rd episode is great when she talks about republicans in exile and has Arianna Huffington from Huffington Post and Hal Sparks to discuss it. When she first said his name, I thought "Is there a reporter or politician named Hal Sparks that I don't know?" Oh no, no, no! She brought in comedian Hal Sparks from Queer as Folk and I Love the 80s fame! How he ended up on there, I'm not quite sure; however, he did a good job and I do kinda love him so Maddow officially won me over with his presence. But one request for Hal: CUT YOUR HAIR!
