Snoysteria or Snowsteria: Which is most indicative?
Stop the Trains. Stop the Buses. Just Stop!!
Okay. It turns out at least in NYC that the blizzard was overblown; more like your very ordinary snow storm.
Yet, as Mayor de Blasio says, "Better Safe Than Sorry!" And it is wonderfully quiet.
But how are Fairfield, Providence, and Boston doing? To say nothing of Bangor.

You Have to Admit, Sam Smith's 'Stay With Me' Does Sound a Lot Like Tom Petty's 'Won't Back Down'
As you may have heard, 2014's breakout star Sam Smith has a hit called "Stay With Me" that, yesterday, he was forced to list Tom Petty's name on as a songwriter. That's because, as a few people have noticed, "Stay With Me" bears more than a passing resemblance to Petty's "I Won't Back Down." Generally in these cases, there's a bit of ambiguity—plagiarism accusations rested on songs that share resemblance without being exactly identical. But in this case, it's pretty cut and dry. This YouTube video—which actually came out last year but is getting a lot of buzz following Monday's decision—makes a pretty compelling argument. Petty's been surprisingly amiable about the whole thing, but it's just one more thread in Smith's untold web of lies ...

Republicans need a new pro-life strategy
As thousands descended on Washington last week for the annual March
for Life, the Republican House of Representatives was busy watering
down a pro-life bill that restricted abortions after 20 weeks,
except in cases of rape or incest, with exemptions allowed only
after a police report had been filed. This after a small group of
moderate Republican female lawmakers challenged the bill and
lobbied for a less restrictive measure. Politics wins. Life loses.
It seems these moderate Republicans,

Koched up.
In the fall of 2013, the Catholic University of America announced a $1 million pledge from the Koch Foundation, one of the many not-for-profit outfits with strong ties to the billionaire libertarians David and Charles Koch. The money, according to the university, would go to the business school, allowing it to hire professors and offer a course on "principled entrepreneurship." You may remember the Kochs from their charitable efforts to undermine public-employee unions, to support a campaign against renewable-energy standards, to suppress the vote, or to discredit the minumum wage (which the U.S. bishops want to raise).
A group of about fifty Catholic theologians certainly remembered. They sent a disapproving letter to Catholic University, voicing their concern that by accepting the grant, the university was sending "a confusing message to Catholic students and other faithful Catholics that the Koch brothers’ anti-government, Tea Party ideology has the blessing of a university sanctioned by Catholic bishops." But university president John Garvey and business-school dean Andrew Abela remained unmoved. They replied by pointing out that several of the professors cash paychecks from universities that accept Koch money, and accused them of trying to "score political points."
If any of those theologians were clinging to the hope that, given enough time, Garvey and Abela might come around to the idea that there's something odd about a Catholic business school accepting money from people who are so deeply committed shrinking the social safety net, cutting taxes, weakening environental regulations, ending the minimum wage, and busting unions, they can let go now. Because Catholic University's business school recently accepted another $1.75 million pledge from the Charles Koch Foundation (in addittion to $1.25 million from other donors).

The Startling Reality of Education and Debt
And here are some incredibly disturbing images / gifs that make comment on the crippling debt our current educational system has created for the future of our workforce (and world). It doesn’t surprise me one bit that all of these were the top “education” posts tagged via Tumblr in 2014. I’m proud to be part … Continue reading The Startling Reality of Education and Debt

What We Get Wrong About Sex Trafficking
How sensational, exploitive and sometimes even made up sex trafficking stories threaten to derail efforts to help victims.
A gruesome account of sex slavery from Cambodia in 2009 revealed that a girl named Long Pross was trafficked to a brothel where she was subjected to electric shock and savagely had her eye gouged out by her traffickers, ostensibly to ensure her obedience and acquiescence to a life in prostitution. The headline declared: “If this isn’t slavery, what is?” Pross later told her story on Oprah and was featured in the documentary Half the Sky.

Think piece for a sobering day: 'The Forward' dissects New York Times coverage of Israel
Today is the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, an event that
-- to my surprise -- is getting very little coverage in the mainstream
press on this side of the Atlantic.
Why is that? Any theories?
Perhaps the coverage will be tomorrow, focusing on news events linked to
the anniversary. Maybe.
Anyway, this made me think about a piece of journalism-related material
that I had hoped to post this past weekend in one of my usual "think piece"
slots, but other news jumped ahead in my priorities.
While there is, let me stress, no direct connection between the issue of
Holocaust coverage and current debates about coverage of Israel, I thought
that this piece from The Forward was very interesting.
I don't know about you, but I often get tired of the usual left vs. right
debates in politics, media, religion and culture. In this case, we have a
liberal Jewish publication offering a serious critique of the newspaper --
The New York Times, of course -- that serves as holy writ for the cultural
left. The headline: "The New York Times and its Israel Bias --The Gray
Lady's Blind Spot."
This piece, in turn, opened with a Times hook -- a column by Times Public
Editor Margaret Sullivan in response to waves of letters from readers about
this topic.
The key is a topic that your GetReligionistas hear about all of the time
from our readers: How are people supposed to believe that the EDITORIAL
perspective shown in social media and columns is completely separated from
the worldview that drives the hard-news coverage in the same publication?

'Christian Cleavage' Probably Isn't the Problem
Our talks about modesty break down when we assume the worst of everyone.
There was a bit of outrage last week when a prominent Christian blogger published a post entitled “The Problem with Christian Cleavage.” He has since pulled it, edited it and republished it with a different title.
It isn’t my intention to beat up the author; I’m sure he had good intentions and was probably surprised at the response. But, in addition to “mansplaining” why women shouldn’t wear certain items of clothing, the post perpetuated some questionable teaching. I mean, he was only saying the same stuff evangelical youth groups have heard for years.
