Filed Under: Satire Seriously  Are people who get irritated about public cell-phone use actually the selfish ones? I think so. I love using my cell phone in public. I come from Texas so I talk loud. I especially like talking to my doctor about sensitive medical information, spots where I have rashes and that sort of thing. We all have rashes. We all have to talk to our doctors on our cell phones. And sometimes those conversations happen inside of crowded elevators. We are human beings, for crying out loud. But I keep hearing about these people who are irritated with people like me. They think it’s rude. But here are some things I’d like these people to remember: The person I am talking to on the phone is a person, too. It’s not like I’m talking into a Dictaphone. And people matter. What you are actually saying when you get irritated because I am on the phone is that you are more important than the person I am talking to and I think that is selfish. I don’t even know you.

So Derek will host only one episode (give him more!) and other Christian men will be taking the other episodes, including Joel Hunter, Jim Wallis, Max Lucado (Max Lucado has always been a huge draw for the ladies), Gary Haugen, Pastor Rick McKinley, Erwin McManus, Dan Haseltine and Brandon Heath. Mark Driscoll will also be filling in for Whoopi Golberg for one episode in August. Great job, guys! Have fun. I’m available too. Just [...]
