Jesus: Socialist Secret Muslim and Founder of Communist Sect

As a devoted watcher of Fox News, I have become increasingly vigilant against attempts to destroy our Constitution and our freedoms by secret socialists and communists like Barack Obama, Van Jones, Acorn, and ( Read more... ) -
Telefund Continues Unethical Behavior
I've only been in one fight in my entire life. It was at the end of the 6th grade and I stood up to the bus monitor who was picking on the little kids by flicking them in the back of the head and doing other silly things like that. I didn't hurt him. I just put him in a full nelson and wouldn't let him go until he promised to stop. He wouldn't ( Read more... ) -
Progressive Fundraisers Should Be Treated Progressively!
This summer I had the unfortunate experience of working for Telefund, a company that claims to be an ally to progressive causes. I thought it was a win-win situation--I get to make a little money and help out progressive causes at the same time!

It's even more puzzling now that I live in southern California where no one even seemed to notice that the Ducks went to a seventh game in the second round of the hockey playoffs, or ( Read more... ) -
Lust for the Apocalypse
WARNING: THIS BLOG CONTAINS BATTLESTAR GALACTICA SPOILERS! YOU HAVE BEEN SPOILER ALERTED!
Why are there so many apocalyptic stories these days? Of course stories about coming cataclysms or the end of the world have always been with us--the Book of Revelation, Nostradamus, the Norse Ragnarok all come to mind--but it seems that a kind of ( Read more... ) -

Can one of my computer savvy friends out there in cyber space help me!?
I bought the game Empire: Total War at Direct2Drive, wonderful download time, got the whole thing in like half an hour. But every time I go to install the game, it gets to the "Installing System Components...please wait" box, another box pops up that says "Microsoft C++ 2005 ( Read more... ) -
A Case for Shutting Down the Large Hadron Collider (Talk Me Down?)
Introduction
No, I don't think that it is very likely that the Large Hadron Collider will destroy the world. But given the potential near infinite cost, the uncertainty in being able to calculate the potential risk for that cost coming to pass and the uncertainty of any benefits coming from these experiments, I think that the most rational ( Read more... ) -
Light in the Darkness: The Meaning of Christmas
Behold, the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
--John 1:4
Forget the birth stories with their shepherds, wise men and angels. Forget about theological arguments concerning the possibility of a virgin birth or how a person is preserved from original sin. And forget for a moment the most often quoted passage from ( Read more... )
