Hostage Crisis At Clinton Campaign Office

A man, who Fox News has identified as Troy Stanley, strapped a bomb to his chest and has two people hostage at Hillary Clinton’s campaign office in Rochester, New Hampshire.

But if Islam is a Religion of Peace, What’s the Problem?

I’m sure Muslims will take it all with grace and humor. Right?
The cabinet is concerned about a ‘provocative’ film about the Koran by anti-immigration party PVV leader Geert Wilders which he expects to be shown on tv at the end of January.

Don’t Name A Teddy Muhammed - It Could Mean Sudden Death

We seriously have to question the sanity of certain Muslims. Before anybody jumps down my throat at my first statement, I understand that there are Muslims who are perfectly sane, however, the recent events pertaining to the case involving Gillian Gibbons show that there are many within the Muslim community who really are nuts.

A Remarkable Man Passes - Congressman Henry Hyde

We are all very sad to have heard the news regarding Henry Hyde’s death. He was a remarkable man. I think our friend Teri O’Brien summed it best:

My New Heart Throb

Okay, I admit it. For years I’ve thought of Fabio as a joke. The bulging muscles, the overly squared jaw, the flowing locks — to me he looked like a caricature of a man, rather than a man. I’m now doing mea culpas for having been guilty of that kind of look-ism. It turns out [...]

Juking Penguins for the Holidays

Someone, my brother-in-law to be exact, showed my daughter Happy Feet over Thanksgiving and since then, I’ve heard nothing but “feet! feet! feet!” from her. So, not having seen the film myself but trusting my family’s judgment, my husband went and bought the dvd for the little one. I sat down to watch it with [...]
