The Ottery
“If an otter can’t have fun doing something, it just simply won’t do it.”

Do you exorcise at least three times a week?

Yesterday’s “quote of the day” from Christianity Today’s news web log had me rolling on the floor:

Quote of the day
“This story incorrectly stated that James Dobson, founder and chairman of Focus on the Family, believes people who don’t practice what they preach should undergo an exorcism. His quote, in a TV interview about reaction to the firing of evangelical leader Ted Haggard for ’sexual immorality,’ was: ‘Everybody gets exercised (worked up about it) when something like this happens, and for good reason.’”
—A correction to a November 23 Rocky Mountain News article on Dobson and Haggard, which had the subhead “Dobson: Haggard not a hypocrite, just in need of exorcism.”

Of course the Ted Haggard situation is a sad one, and I don’t wish to make light of that. But the misunderstood comment is hilarious.
