Today's screencap of last night's "Lost"

In which we confirm that each and every episode should be about Desmond:

Regarding Rachael Ray: "Complain all you want. It’s like railing against the pounding surf."

I am rather displeased with the Food Network.

But Tony Bourdain says it more thoroughly -- and with more insider knowledge -- than I ever could. Salient point:

I mourn for Mario..and Alton...Bobby and yes--even Emeril, nobly holding the fort while the TV empire he helped build crumbles like undercooked Bundt cake into a goo of Cheez Wiz around him.

Enjoy as I regurgitate dot-com content for your reading pleasure.

What Would Boner Do?

I am completely and utterly fascinated by Kirk Cameron's born-again Christian show on TBN, "The Way of the Master." I could watch Mike Seaver harrass unsuspecting people on the street about the nature of God all. day. long.

"Master" claims to be "a new look at reality TV. Each program is 30 minutes of [co-host] Ray [Comfort] and Kirk teaching Christians how to share their faith effectively and inoffensively....Learn how to approach strangers — without offense and yet with great effectiveness. How to answer difficult questions. How to prove God's existence. Learn how to do what Jesus did and circumnavigate the intellect (the area of argument) and speak to the sinner’s conscience. How to get tracts into the hands of the lost without looking like a fanatic." (Emphasis mine.)

Every person from whom I've ever received a tract was rather fanatical, I have to say. Despite claiming otherwise, dear Kirk is actually especially fanatical. Really, all I ever needed from Kirk Cameron was some whiny banter between him and Alan Thicke, or perhaps some Pritikin diet tips. What I'm not so keen on is...

"How should I witness to a Jew?"
Sadly, many of today’s Jews profess godliness but don’t embrace the Scriptures as we presume they do. Therefore, it is often difficult to reason with them about Jesus being the Messiah. This is why it is imperative to ask a Jew if he has kept the Law of Moses — to "shut" him up under the Law (Galatians 3:23) and strip him of his self-righteousness. The Law will show him his need of a Savior and become a "schoolmaster" to bring him to Christ (Galatians 3:24), as happened to Paul, Nicodemus, and Nathaniel. It was the Law that brought 3,000 Jews to the foot of the cross on the Day of Pentecost. Without it they would not have known that they had sinned (Romans 7:7), and therefore would not have seen their need of the Savior. See Luke 18:20 footnote for how to use the Law in evangelism.

...yet I can't turn it off.
