Pope tells Catholics to multiply
Heh! And the world tells ya the Catholic Church is against having sex!
A guide for would-be conspiracy theorists
I couldn’t help but laugh at this. It’s a great article on speculation within the tech industry, and well worth the read.
RFK Jr.: For They That Sow the Whirlwind Shall Reap the Wind
Now I am going to admit this freely: I respect Robert and Jack Kennedy. Not just a little, but a lot. In fact, if one were to ask me my favorite book on political character, I would respond Profiles in Courage without hesitation. JFK understood what character was and how doing what [...]

My vote? Sell the land to Catholic University. Not only will the school grow on contiguous land, it would be [...]
Kaine-Potts Debate?
There’s been much speculation as to why Kaine has agreed to debate Potts. The appropriate Republican answer is: Who cares? The only reason why Kaine is doing it is to excite the moderates and make Kilgore look too conservative and out of touch with the “real issues” that are affecting the Commonwealth. In short, [...]
