Every time I here that such-and-such American invented social enterprise a few years, I hurl laugh.  People have been creating innovative businesses for a higher purpose for centuries; without them, we wouldn't even have such nifty devices as the number zero or double-entry bookkeeping. 

As a nod to this rich history, today I want to highlight Dolls of India, a site that sells Hindu figures and jewelry.  It also has informative histories describing the items they sell.  To the left:  Lord Shiva with Goddess Parvati.

And in completely unrelated news, while prepping for a meeting (and writing this post) I've been listening to the recent Fresh Air interview with Dan Gilgoff, who has a new book called The Jesus Machine chronicling the rise of James Dobson.  Click here for the interview and scroll over to minute 26 for a description of how Hillary Clinton started wearing a crucifix in the last election to win support from Christian voters.
