I think every astronomer is, at some level, a calendar nerd. After all, Astronomy is what we've used throughout history to tell the time and date. So it is fitting that Astroprof has an informative post explaining why Easter is so early this year and why the date moves around as it does.
In other church-related news, I've informed my pastor that just on the off chance I end up running for office someday, he is no longer allowed to say anything during his sermons that might be construed by anyone as possibly offensive or controversial. He promised in good humor that he would do his best.
I love how this stuff on Obama's pastor has appeared on wingnut radar the instant any of them might have started to feel uncomfortable about their Sacred Tax Dollars funding the bailout by rich white guys of rich white guys and for rich white guys. Here, wingnuts, look at this shiny over here and let's make sure you keep voting against your economic interests.
