Leaderless Friends and Zipper Wars (Flashbacks)

April 8, 2008 2:12 PM

I thought it might be fun to dip into the blog archives every month or so to pull up some old chestnuts:

A year ago: Blushing over Chris M's QuakerQuaker carnival and a Quaker post Who Am I to Decide Anything about leaderless dynamics and theological creep among liberal Friends;
Six Years Ago: Dick Cheney's Rambo Complex ("Bush and Cheney are snoring in the bleacher seats when it comes to the world's most pressing and intractable conflict. They're dreaming of cinematic glory.");
Ten(ish) Years Ago: Stop the Zipper War Before it Starts, an editorial against Bill Clinton's Iraq sabre-rattling in the midst of the Monica Lewinski scandal.

Many of these are collected in book form in the Quaker Ranter Reader ($12.00 CafePress).
