Sally Quinn, the self-anointed authority on D.C. society, has a new Post op-ed:
Along with the speculation on what kind of puppy Sasha and Malia will choose, where the kids will go to school (it's Sidwell Friends), and, oh yes, who will be appointed to the White House staff and the Cabinet, the matter of where the Obamas will choose to worship is drawing a lot of interest in Washington and elsewhere.

The Civil Rights movement happened in the 60's, but Bob Jones University is just now getting around to apologizing for being racists - saying its rules on race were shaped by culture instead of the Bible.
Fun fact: Christianity and slavery got along quite well in the bible - even in the New Testament.
