Jim Wallis has an announcement to make.

In an article in Time magazine, the author of the popular book God's Politics: Why the Religious Right is Wrong and the Left Doesn't Get It, declares: The Religious Right's Era Is Over.

And what evidence does he have for this remarkably sunny assertion?

Well, none.

We've all used the expression, "Time flies when you're having a good time" or "Where did the summer go" or "It seems like just yesterday..."

For some reason the subject of time and its increasingly rapid flow came up at the Pool Hall yesterday. If you knew the cast of characters in this particular saloon you'd understand why time would be a concern, as most of us are either wasting it, frittering it away, unconcerned with it or running out of it.
