Why I Abhor Organized Religion: Reason #473
Reverend Pat Robertson calls for the assassination of Hugo Chavez. Apparently they mistranslated the Sixth Commandment. It should have read “Thou Shalt Kill.”
Drudge Begone
Let me say this right up front: I despise Matt Drudge and the Drudge Report. But I freely admit that I check his newsletter daily and almost always find a link or two worth clicking. Up until yesterday, that is. Here’s the note I sent Matt: Dear Mr Drudge, I’ve been checking into the Drudge […]
Ah, Moms. Sometimes You Can Only Love Them
This entry was posted by my co-blogger Dick, a writer and former squadron mate: Cindy Sheehan is breaking my heart.
