Mohler and the Sith
In a recent blog post, Al Mohler does a nice takedown on Dick Staub's new book equating the Jedi teaching from the Star Wars trilogy to the teachings of Christ. The only curious remark in the whole post wasn't even related to Staub's book. Says Mohler: "The Revenge of the Sith is a gripping story, and the movie is propelled by generally strong acting performances."
Did Mohler see the same movie as the rest of us? Gripping story, I'll give you. Generally strong acting is another thing altogether. Ewan McGregor wasn't bad at all, but Hayden Christiansen and Natalie Portman were nothing short of awful.

I'm still trying to figure out what this "Jedi way" is. So far, it seems to be "truth, justice, and the Republican way," with the understanding of course that truth is relative; justice doesn't include a fair trial if the prisoner is really dangerous; and the Republic is question is hopelesslyl corrupt.

Did you read the Weekly Standard article on this? I'll take the Empire over the Jedi any day.
