- New Orleans, Iowa, Texas … there’s nowhere Mennonites won’t fix up homes.
- I can’t figure out how Mennonites in Canada can give haircuts to the homeless in Manhattan regularly. Is there just one volunteer all the time? Do they send an occasional bus down? Do they have to be Canadian or can American Mennonites do it too?
- Apparently, today’s Mexicans are like the Amish in 18th century America — but without Lou Dobbs hammering on them all the time.
- Someone needs to write a book about The Simpsons and all the Mennonite in-jokes they do.
- Tough year for the Amish: their homes are unsafe, they are poisoning the Chesapeake Bay with horseshit and they keep running afoul of local governments. But no worries because most people still think they are one of the holiest groups around.
- Turns out that the best film about Mennonites this year did NOT involve Seth Green. And wasn’t in English.
- Stories like this are why my co-workers don’t think I’m really a Mennonite.
- Well now, this is an interesting argument: A Mennonite is to conscientious objection toward war as a Catholic pharmacist is to emergency contraception denial toward women . Discuss.

Re: why your co-workers don’t believe you’re Mennonite. Midianite, anyone? See story on Brittney Spears mother’s friend wondering to if Mennonites were like the Midianites in the Bible.
