FRANKLIN GRAHAM, EVANGELICALS SLAM CHRISTIANITY TODAY OVER IMPEACHMENT OP-ED:

Bestselling author Eric Metaxas, known for his work on Veggie Tales and his biographies of Deitrich Bonhoeffer and Martin Luther, also condemned the Christianity Today op-ed.

“The problem w/the [Christianity Today] editorial is that CT no longer speaks for most evangelicals as it once did,” Metaxas tweeted. “CT always leaned left, but it came across as mostly a-political, as carefully standing apart from the ‘Christian Right’. But of course Trump now makes that stance untenable.”

IT’S JUST ANOTHER TRUMP-FEATURING REALITY SHOW, AND TO BE HONEST IT’S NOT EVEN HIS BEST WORK: New York Times Discovers Voters Are Paying Little Mind To Impeachment. The supporting cast is especially weak, and the casting is over-the-top: Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff look and sound like Disney villains.

ZERO TO SIXTY IN 2.8 SECONDS IS RATHER QUICK, REALLY: Why the C8 Corvette Stingray Is So Quick. Plus: “The C8’s peak acceleration is just over 1.0 g, occurring almost a second after launch. That figure dwarfs the C7’s 0.7-g peak.” In the sadly EPA-and-OPEC-dominated years of my teens, all the really impressive muscle cars were older. But now we’re in a golden age, looking ahead to what might be, not looking back at what was.
