NEW BAILOUT ALERT!!! NEW BAILOUT ALERT!!!
Again, much thanks to T-Sec Hanky Poo. This second round of 800 billion goes through without Congressional approval even! I guess there’s no sense trying to cram this into the news cycle before Thanksgiving.
Anyway, sounds like a lot of money, right? But the government’s so big. Surely this is but [...]
Pentecostals are a Christian sect whose most prominent charcteristic (other than the low entry barrier for ministerial ordination) is a penchant for ecstatic gibberish. In the video that’s been making the rounds (see below) Sarah Palin’s Pastor Muthee prays in English, but I still feel like his message is hard for layfolk to discern. Because [...]
Earlier this week, the Supreme Court struck down the DC handgun ban as unconstitutional.
