So, When Will the Riots Start?
I expect we’ll be hearing about this looming threat very soon. Two cartoons that ran in a University of Virginia student newspaper recently have sparked thousands of e-mails to the school and the paper with complaints that they are offensive and blasphemous. Third-year student Grant Woolard drew the comics for the Cavalier Daily, one of [...]
It’s Not a War. It’s a Trendy Buzzword!
Some days it’s just not a good idea to read the news. Today seems to be one of those days when the outright bias of a news network leaps out, wraps its tentacles around your neck, and adheres itself to your face. CNN is the face-hugger du jour and it’s latest bit of spin is [...]
Does It Depend On Who Is Delivering The Prophesy?
Do these quotes strike you as either out of bounds or otherwise repugnant? That — you look at your — you look at the book of Leviticus and see what it says there. And this author of this said, “well ‘vomit out’ means you are not able to defend yourself.” But have we found we [...]

Their answer: It was actually floating ice. The scientists [...]
Following up with Cole
John Cole has graciously, but a bit disingenuously, responded to my earlier post on his new acceptance of the term “American Taliban”. Here, in part, is what he had to say. And this is the kind of dishonest crap that gives these lunatics the cover they need to operate. Jimmie at the Sundries Shack now [...]
Yes, Folks, We’re the Taliban.
Well, it looks like the insulting and highly inaccurate sobriquet of “American Taliban” has been slapped on the religious once more. This time, by John Cole. This does not take many of us by surprise. Every time a religous person makes a religious statement in protest of anything at all, Cole is there to do [...]
Goodman vs. the English Laguage
Ellen Goodman has a reading comprehension problem. In her column in the Washington Post today, she chastises the Vatican for its “strange new backsliding language” that she says excludes homosexuals from the priesthood simply for being homosexual. Here’s how she describes it: All in all, Americans seem reluctant to condemn people simply for who they [...]
