Her Wonderful Career

OK, so I was sitting in my home office this afternoon and, as usual, CNBC was on the office TV. When I sit at my desk typing, the TV is behind me and off to the right side. It’s usually tuned to CNBC during the day so that by swiveling my chair slightly, I can glance over and catch the […]

Christianity In The News

by Smitty There has been an uptick in the amount of stories about Christianity of late, but it’s probably James Clark’s utterly weird “Why Marijuana Decriminalization Should Be a Christian Issue” that is the proximal source of ire driving this post, which argues that James Clark is making a questionable moral argument in an ethical […]

Sissypuss: Gov’t Cheese Not Selling In MO

by Smitty Down at the bottom of the page (h/t Gateway Pundit) it looks like nearly three to one in favor of Prop C: The Missouri Health Care Freedom, Proposition C is on the August 3, 2010 statewide ballot in Missouri as an legislatively-referred state statute.
