ramble through the bronx
yes, this here is ramble through the bronx, the continuing musings of a graduate student* who should be writing her dissertation, but honestly, living in new york city there's really so much else to do...* and her commenting friends. And guest blogger.

And the left goes on...
My friend Anne sent me this link, a new group some friends of hers in Chicago are starting up... sounds like an interesting idea to promote service. There's not much there so far, but stay tuned, it could be good.
I quote:
"In using ‘prodigal,’ we also kind of like the implication of returning. We don’t want to tangle with Bible scholars, translators, and the dictionary in our usage here, but if ‘prodigal’ is commonly understood as a reference to homecoming, then we’ll use it to mean that we’re returning home to the ideals of the Left. We’re returning to liberalism and generosity.
"No, we’re not a religious organization in any way shape or form. We’re also not opposed to the religious beliefs of others. The Prodigal Left is simply trying to demonstrate that goodness is more than just religiosity and that “Help is on the way” needs to be more than a slogan. We’re reminding ourselves that political action has more to do with helping people than it does with helping politicians. We hope that you agree."
