The Evangelical Manifesto, The Hobbit, Kirk and the Plague of Frogs

Here's the latest five ... comment away

1. Manifesto Resistance

Last week, I posted a story about the “Evangelical Manifesto”, that attempts to separate the term “evangelical” from a political context, and bring it back to its theological roots (saying it describes belief in basic tenants of Christianity).

Here’s a story that looks at “Why Some Leaders Won't Sign the Evangelical Manifesto”. Among the more high-profile leaders not signing the increasingly controversial document are Billy Graham, James Dobson and Tony Perkins.

2. Tony Stark Lives!

If you liked Iron Man, you’ll love this story: “Robotic suit could usher in super soldier era” Warning: Picture highly disappointing


3. Down to Middle Earth

If you’re a fan of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, you may want to check out this conversation between filmmakers Peter Jackson and Guillerno del Toro next week. The two will chat live online about the upcoming adaptation of The Hobbit.


4. Show Me that Smile Again

Kirk Cameron fans, this one’s for you … a Growing Pains reunion (sort of). The cast recently sat down with The Insider to give an update about their post-primetime lives.

5. The Plague of Cable News

Legions …  frogs … invasion?! Is it Old Testament-style plagues? No, just the front page of CNN.com. (Not only is it an over-sensational cable-news video, but is the link to buy the T-shirt really necessary? Seriously, you can’t make this up.)
