Many of the meteorologists who deliver weather reports on KUHF seem to stumble over the pronunciation of meteorologist.
Just listen. It’ll bug you now, too. You’re welcome.

When are Christians™ going to get organized against title loans and payday lenders? People resort to extreme feats of exegetical gymnastics to attempt to justify bigotry, yet seem to ignore what I recall were pretty clear statements about money-changers and usurers. Many thanks to the CPPP for paying attention to this.
I wish we all had more bandwidth for activism. Time to take up coffee.
To be fair, there was a decent amount of attention paid to the payday lending issue in the last legislative session, and much of it was driven by faith-based groups:

In the end what we got wasn’t that much (http://offthekuff.com/wp/?p=37288) but it was a little step in the right direction.
That’s good to point out. I wonder if we’ll ever see protesters out front handing out leaflets to clients, helping connect them to nonprofit & non- predatory credit counselors and gov’t agencies (the few we have left) that could help them.
A 20% credit card is just ridiculous. 10% should be max, and if it’s too risky to give someone that rate – don’t give them credit!
