Independence Day?
So I wonder what these people will be celebrating on Monday? According to a new poll by Marist, more than a quarter of Americans couldn’t correctly identify the country from which the United States declared its independence. While 74 percent correctly named Great Britain, 20 percent said they weren’t sure and six percent named other […]
Time to End the Wars
The US Conference of Mayors did something on Monday that they haven’t done in over 40 years. They passed a resolution calling for an accelerated end to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. What is important to me at least is that the last time the Conference acted on this subject, we were mired in […]

I attend synagogue regularly, I serve on its board of directors, and I teach in its religious school. I also believe in evolution and the Big […]
A Little Off the Top, Please

In California, a group of “intactivists” want to ban circumcision altogether. This is just a dumb-headed idea and shows the problem with citizen initiative process. When a group […]
Another Sign that the Apocalypse is Near
In another sign that the end of the world is at hand, the KKK decided to protest the Westboro Baptist Sect at Arlington National Cemetery. I’m going to start to pack a survival box for the end of the world. The KKK is on the same side of an issue as me.
No Promo Homo in Tennessee – Updated
A few weeks ago, I wrote about the “No Say Gay” bill wending it’s way through the Tennessee legislature.
