I'd started writing about soliloquies in Marlowe's "Dr. Faustus...." That reminded me of film noir and the Gunpowder Plot.

And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. And he told those who sold the pigeons, “Take these things away; do not make my Father's house a house of trade.” His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will consume me.” So the Jews said to him, “What sign do you show us for doing these things?” Jesus answered th

A winter storm was moving across North America a couple weeks back.

        Sin esperarlo y para sorpresa de muchos, la centralidad de la fe en Cristo del pueblo americano logró llegar hasta el horario prime de la emisión más vista en el mundo: el Super Bowl. La compañía de coches Jeep puso al aire un anuncio sobre el deseo de unidad en su país y escogió mostrar un elemento en el corazón de Estados Unidos, que muestra su naturaleza y raíces. El hecho ha sido condenado por sectores de la izquierda laicista de ese país, ya que muestra el punto medio que puede unir a esa nación: Cristo.
