Taste, Video Games, and the Religious Left

The Wall Street Journal’s Taste Page has some interesting articles this morning.

One is a parent’s lament that video games have sucked the life out of his children . It contained this gem: “The other day we saw a kid at church, in a semi-trance, going down the aisle to Holy Communion while clicking on a hand-held Game Boy. Talk about worshiping a false god.”

And then there’s this column about Mike Huckabee —a man of the Religious Left? “With increasing frequency, Mr. Huckabee invokes his faith when advocating greater government involvement in just about every aspect of American life. In doing so, Mr. Huckabee has actually answered the prayers of the religious left.”
