Conan O’Brian said last night that the current issue of “Time” lists the world’s 100 most important people.  They are the 100 people who still subscbibe to “Time”.

The final comment from Christopher Morse was a bit compressed. I couldn’t tell if he didn’t want to be associated with Nt Wright or with another breed of journalist expert.

Knowing of Meacham’s good reputation, I bought the magazine with his cover story and opened it with interest.

It is indeed “an article that should never have been written, let alone published.” It is incredibly light—and at one point, after demonstrating that he’s no authority, JM tells us his views. Like we care?

The only thing I learned was never to buy another one of these news magazines. You’d think that now that people don’t read them for news anymore, they’d go in for sharp analysis and solid interpretation—and let the real experts speak. Instead we get fluff that just wastes our time.

Ain’t Meacham Episcopalian?  Jah.  Thus he thinks he does theology and voila! it’s theology.  See how easy it is!  TEc has been doing it for years, it’s just that Kate had no real competition until now for journalistic revelations of the state of theology in TEc.
