Assorted links, vol. 61

*--(Alleged) temple prostitution, right here in Phoenix.
--Are you a hipster Christian?
--You can buy a Pope Benedict XVI teddy bear for a mere $325.  Which I suppose is fine; Benedict does have a bear on his coat of arms, after all.
*--The anti-immigrant governor of New Mexico admits that her grandparents were undocumented.
--Some awesome nuns in Washington grabbed hoses to help fight a wildfire.
--An editorial on the intersection of patriotism and Christianity.
--Jan Brewer is dumb, again.  This time, she is trying to take away benefits from domestic partners of same-sex employees, pretending that this will rescue the state from its budget crisis.  But two courts in a row have now slapped this idiocy down.
--More on the "credible but unconfirmed" threat for the 10th anniversary of 9/11.
*--Rowan Williams reflects on 9/11 (don't forget, he was essentially right next door to the Twin Towers when they came down [cf. "Writing in the Dust"]).
