PSA Press Release: Lake is Exonerated
Nancy Willing sent me this press release sent out by Frank Murphy today:
The Board of the Peoples Settlement Association today announced that Keith Lake, its Executive Director of 16 years, has been cleared of all allegations of misconduct. After a special investigation lasting more than one year, the State Auditor of Accounts provided Peoples Settlement with a report finding no evidence of illegal conduct or missing state funds. Representatives of Peoples Settlement recently met with the Auditor’s Office, and confirmed that Mr. Lake was exonerated of any wrongdoing.

Catholic Church Purging Its Ranks of Infidels

A moral institution like the Catholic Church simply cannot countenance such disagreement with the Infallible Ex-Nazi Pope. Maybe the Church will next bar those using contraception. Which will leave the pedophile priests, who are still welcome […]
Weekend Foodie Thread
Ciao! Let’s talk pasta. Being Italian pasta always fell under the quick, throw together meal. I never realized, until I started serving these dishes to my friends, that most people just opened a jar of sauce and dumped it on noodles. *shudder* (FYI, pasta should be added to the sauce and tossed to coat.) Also, […]
Tea Party: The Movie
There is a new documentary coming out – it’s called Tea Party: The Documentary Film. Apparently it’s serious and not a parody (though it’s difficult to tell). Here’s the trailer: Seriously guys – the second American revolution? Two protests in Washington, D.C. does not a revolution make, even if you’ve got your own TV news […]
