So what are the questions that faithful GetReligion readers would like to ask Katie Couric?
Why not hire O.J. as the crime reporter?
If you had a reporter who was an abortion-rights activist, spoke publicly against religious conservatives and George Bush, and wept openly at a recent Simon and Garfunkel concert, what beat would you assign her?
Revenge of VeggieMadonnaGate!
We have entered a quiet stage in the VeggieTales/Madonna wars involving what religious believers can and cannot say on NBC. I have held off for a couple of days since the last update in order to watch for developments in this story and, sure enough, we had some more over the weekend.
Purpose-driven response
Well, friends, I am back from my honeymoon. I have declared it the Best Honeymoon in the History of the World — but I don’t have much to compare it to. Tanned, rested and ready, I am. And married. And operating under a new name. So many changes.
Who outed George Allen?
The apparent destruction of the presidential ambitions of Sen. George Allen, R-Va., has been interesting to watch. The story goes several layers deep, and I’ll do my best to probe the more interesting, religion-oriented ones in this post. Feel free to post your thoughts on how religion was played in the hundreds of articles written on the politician who has been dubbed the darling of the religious right and a clone of President Bush.

A question of the law
Peter Wallsten of the Los Angeles Times had a revealing article in Saturday’s paper about a Washington conference sponsored by the Family Research Council. During the conference, conservative evangelicals talked about the importance of the November elections and said if Republicans are not elected, the country will go down the toilet. Well, they didn’t say Republicans, but they did encourage people to support candidates who understand their values.
Read Pope Benedict XVI's lips
We need some kind of honor to give here, something that goes beyond a mere hat tip when another blog actually produces an item that we could run as a GetReligion post with little or no extra work.
Denied a final Mass?
There are poignant online reports about another religious and legal angle of the story of the executions in Indonesia.
