This cartoon from Chan Lowe says it all:

Gotta love this one: Of course, Erik Rush is the same guy who thinks America suffers from too much “negrophilia.” Rationality is clearly not his strong suit.

This is kind of amusing to me. The International House of Pancakes is suing a church group in Missouri that calls itself the International House of Prayer for infringing on their acronym. I don’t know whether the company is going to win or lose, but I’m pretty damn sure that the outcome will be the…

The First Amendment Center released its annual poll on American beliefs about the relationship between religion and government. Some of the results are positive, some are negative.

Andrew Sullivan catches the New York Times once again describing something done by another country as torture when they refuse to call the same thing done by our country by that term.
