A study just released finds that the more a person attends worship services, the more likely they are to support torture. Really? White evangelical Protestants were the religious group most likely to say torture is often or sometimes justified — more than 6 in 10 supported it.
So, if this is your version of Christianity you [...]

Well, here we are. In a bad “B” movie playing at second-tier movie theaters. Schools closing, sports events canceled, the president using a prime time press conference to tell us to stay home if we are sick and don’t get on an airplane if we have symptoms.
So, this is how we go out? Swine flu. [...]

I’ve been reading so much about the swine flu that I’m convinced I’m infected. It’s so “28 Days Later” with the reports of breakouts in several different countries.
I thought Wonkette made a pretty astute observation about Governor Perry’s request for more doses of flu vaccines from the feds when just recently he was remarking on [...]

The memos released by the Obama administration were not all that surprising to me. I figured the U.S. was torturing the hell out of detainees.

Senator Dan Patrick has passed seminal legislation today. Rejoice that all carnies convicted of diddling children will not be able to take your ticket and put your fat funnel-cake ass on the Mo-Mo ride. But, a last minute amendment corrected some language that will allow hookers to continue to solicit the dads while they stand [...]

I’m all for slashing costs, reducing overhead, tightening the belt and all the other euphamisms we use to practice fiscal responsibility. But when the president asks the agencies to cut costs, he should really use much stronger language. I’d suggest something like, “I’m giving you 90 days to stop sucking off the government teet so [...]

Secede! When things don’t go your way pack up your little bag and just leave. Harumph! After the tens of millions of Democrats that suffered through 8 long years of Bush and his awful policies they did what people in a democracy do…they voted his ass and his party out. But since you can’t stand [...]
