Children should not have to die to uphold the religious beliefs of their parents.

The concern trolls are very concerned. They are responding to my posting of Sonia/Tanja/Rosa/Whoevera Jensen's crazy email — she's disabled! She's mentally ill! It's cruel to post her wacky screeds publicly where people will point and laugh! You're picking on...

You all laughed at this video of Charlene Werner explaining the physics of homeopathy. But did you know that videos like this, where kooks are caught in the act, are endangered? It turns out that kooks don't like it...

Bill Donohue has put me on his mailing list, so I get these 'alerts' from the Catholic League several times a day. Here's the latest (the colors are as sent to me: I guess it was very important!) On Thursday,...
