Roger Ebert Defends the Rights of Muslims to Open a Community Center

From Robert Ebert: As some chant "Death to America," what a mighty message we send if we support the mosque. THAT is the meaning of Freedom.

Mad Tea Party Kicks Out Mark Williams (Video and Commentary)

I was so disgusted by this I just wanted to stay away. Plus, I don’t trust early news reports that attempt to sensationalize stories.

A Hole in the World: The BP Oil Hemorrhage

It’s not an oil spill. There is no mere spill in the Gulf of Mexico. There is a hole in the world. The floor of the Gulf of Mexico is hemorrhaging oil, and no one has a clue how to stop it. When they finally do plug the hold, the damage will likely be with [...]

From the live feed courteously provided by BP, May 31, 2010, ca. 10:45 CST. We need to face it: “They” have no idea what they’re doing. “They.” You know who “they” are. “They” are the ones who are supposed to know these things. “They” are the ones who say all those neat thing, you know, [...]

Is The Pope Lying To Us? It’s Time For Benedict To Man-Up

I have to ask the unthinkable for a Catholic: Is the Pope lying? The New York Times has been relentless on their investigation of the pedophilia scandal in the Catholic Church.

Politician On Facebook: Anime Proof That Two Nukes Weren’t Enough for Japan

I was originally drawn to this story because of a post on Wil Wheaton’s (Wesley Crusher from Star Trek’s) Twitter account imploring someone to run against Democratic New Hampshire State Rep.
