Somewhere, My Rabbi Is Rolling Over In His Grave, And I'm Not Even Jewish
Madonna has decided to change her name to Esther as her Hebrew name. This sounds like a dastardly plot that calls for The Hebrew Hammer!

Offshoring Run Amok
You know that offshoring has hit the big time when the Roman Catholic Church outsources prayers to Indian priests.
I wouldn't have believed the post (via BoingBoing) unless I went to the NY Times and confirmed it myself.
It seems that folks will pay priests $5 to say a prayer for a specific purpose. Because of the shortage of available priests in the US (insert your tasteless joke here), these requests are being routed to India, where the going rate for a prayer is $.90.
