Killing Abortion Doctor = Terrorism
Throwing acid in a young girl’s face to prevent her from going to school.
Strapping on a bomb and detonating it in a crowded restaurant.
Walking into a church and killing a man who performs abortions.
How is one of the above acts any different from the other? Terrorism is defined as the systematic use of terror or [...]
If You Can’t Beat ‘Em, Bleed ‘Em
Once, when I was in Colorado Springs, a coworker invited me into his classroom to watch a video.
“Porn?” I asked.
So hopeful.
“No,” he said. “It’s about End Times.”
Sure enough, the video, about five minutes long, showed how true believers will disappear during the Rapture, leaving nonbelievers behind to fight an epic battle. Those who resist conversion [...]
Spelling Bee Champions as Whores for Scripps and Other Sponsors?
When my children were babies, a few people suggested they be put to work.

At present, GM rice is not grown commercially anywhere in the world. But Bayer, the German chemical giant, has genetically manipulated rice [...]

I hate having to defend myself. Doesn’t it just suck when you feel the need to point out the obvious?
But a few good friends have gone out on a limb to defend me and I believe it’s time I speak for myself.
Back in October, over seven months ago, I heard about a former classmate [...]
A Message From Conservative Outpost About the Real Threat Facing America
It isn’t swine flu or a recession. It’s not North Korea or tight-fitting bras.
It’s not even killer treadmills.
The real threat facing America, according to Conservative Outpost, is gay marriage.
They sent an email imploring their followers to act immediately…or else.
I receive some crazy-ass emails (more on that later) but this takes the cake…
How To Prepare for A Chamberlain High School Reunion. Or Not.
“To thine own self be true. And it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.”
