The fake “War on Christmas”
“The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.”
I never understood that line, because most people believe in the devil. Most people believe in lots of things that aren’t real. Like angels and natural beauty and fat-free cookies and the War on Christmas.
I almost hesitate to say that the [...]
In response to the Ft. Hood shooting
When I think of the Irish or the Jews, two ethnic groups of which I am a proud member, I am bombarded with many images. Sometimes I think about the injustices done to these two peoples and, with few exceptions, am pleased with the way in which we’ve responded.
In my home office, I have [...]

Republicans to American Women: Bros Before Hos
A few weeks ago, Darling Rachel talked about Senator Franken’s first course of action – an amendment to the Department of Defense Appropriations Act.

Despite the fact they have no open bar, [...]

Census worker killed in rural Kentucky
Bill Sparkman, who worked for the Census Bureau, was killed in a remote part of Kentucky after being warned of the area’s isolated and anti-government residents.
Reports say that he was found dead with the word, “Fed,” carved into his chest.
I will never understand the hatred people feel for our government. Corporations have done more to [...]
An asshole? Maybe. But not everyone who disagrees with President Obama is *racist.*
“Isms in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an ism, he should believe in himself.”

What if white, country-boy Kanye West interrupted African-American, R&B singer Taylor Swift? Would this switcheroo have changed public sentiment after their now-infamous interaction at last week’s MTV VMAs?
I doubt it.
The only difference – [...]
