This week the travel editor will be comin’ at ya like Cleopatra as your shepherd into the Land of Sheep. Thanks to our good friends over at Shoutmouth for cluing us into this layup of a story.

First, the background. There’s a new social video service, a la YouTube out there on the block named GodTube: Broadcast Him. To date, we’re unsure of the specific financiers of the station although the initial media buzz surrounding this story has reportedly been sponsored by conservative powerhouse, FOXNews. As soon as we have a few minutes, you can guarantee we will be conducting a full expose into the real backers, but until then, we’ll just let you wonder (Ted Haggard’s meth sponsored penance?)

Each day we’ll be bringing you a sampling of some of the great stuff we find there. Don’t be scared that you won’t enjoy it if you aren’t a devout Christian. But DO be scared that it’ll start forcing you to think about the goddamn issues and pick up a bible. Whether you like it or not.

tell me this is a big joke on us.

sincerely yours,
current non-attentive citizens

I do pass by it sometimes on the way to Borders, and in the past six months or so, I couldn’t help but notice packs of young black kids with backpacks crossing Brentwood, the street out in front of the Galleria.

Ruh roh.

Last week we had the pleasure of seeing Valerie Plame testify in front of a congressional hearing to discuss the situation and aftermath of being exposed in retaliation of her husband’s critical piece about enriched uranium. Of course, coverage varies — from CNN putting the story on the front page of their website, to Fox News merily having a video on the side of the site — but the most interesting variations were seen in the pictures used on the various media outlets:
