A surprisingly positive NY Times article about the church. Who knew.

Not a bad article, except for the fact that the Haka is NOT Tongan. It is Maori and has been co-opted by the Tongans and others. A minor point, I agree, but it is completely inaccurate.

Plus, the article kept calling the Elders, "Mr." There will be hell to pay.

Wrong. The BYU football team invented the Haka.

Now that the Mormon is out, you can afford to be nice.

Did they have not-so-nice-to-Romney pieces? I honestly have about as much interest in politics as I do microbial cultures of Lingo's underarm sweat. This makes me unique among lawyers, I think, but it also means that I may miss some things.
I guess I only read the Times for the sexy pictures. |
