Friday Links Round Up: Budget Cuts. King Philip IV. Japan.

Budget Cuts. King Phillip IV. Japan. Here's a little round up of links from around the Web you may have missed this week:

• A flying car!

• Infographic: tax breaks vs. budget cuts. (Ask your member, What Would Jesus Cut?)

• The Pixar film Up! comes to life.

• Watch Rep. Keith Ellison's moving testimony at a Homeland Security hearing.

• King Philip IV of Spain signs autographs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

• Have you ever been to South Korea?

• I'm a Democrat because ... /I'm a Republican because ...

• Walter Brueggemann on Lent:

"The final Sunday after Epiphany witnesses to Jesus -- Jesus alone-as a lamp in darkness. The imagery is compelling for our society, now in a season of dismaying darkness that awaits a lamp of guidance and assurance. Lent invites us to restored life with God, being able to start again when we come to a failed end, and being given water from the midst of the intransigent 'rock' of life on our own."

• Most importantly, we offer up prayers for the people of Japan.

Have a lovely weekend.
