Friday I was flying home on Jetblue and caught a news segment on a form of yoga called Laughter Yoga.

The Style section of The New York Times just did a big feature on Mr. Brand and his new agey ways, in Irina Aleksander’s article, “Look Who’s Meditating Now.” She writes of the comedian: “It is…

Oh yes, I saw The Book of Mormon musical last night, with Beliefnet’s very own blogging Mormon, Jana Riess, (can I say that? or am I still under the influence of South Park’s Trey Parker and Matt Stone and their sort of off humor?)–and it was an utter BLAST. And let me tell you, Jana…
