James Dobson, the founder of the social conservative Focus on the Family, joined Mike Huckabee and Bryan Fischer in blaming the shootings in Newtown, Conn., on Americans who have "turned our back on God," and embraced abortion and gay marriage. Proof. I respectfully disagree. While reading this tripe about this right-wing knuckle-dragger, a thought occurred to me: Why is it that whenever God unleashes his wrath, it's always onto his followers...

Is this going to fizzle out soon, or is this just the tip of the ice burgh? A week or two after the election, and things are getting to be horrible! Should we just chalk it up to a nation-wide case of butt-hurt? Papa John's, Pizza Hut, Domino's (yeah-where the HELL am I going to get a pizza without killing my conscience now?) Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Applebee's, Mc Donald's, Burger King and Longhorn Steakhouse have all dropped their employ...

This Presidential Election has been brutal! Feet are tired from walking, knuckles hurt from knocking on doors, throats are dry from talking, fingers throb from typing and brains pound from debating. But these aren't the only casualties; friendships have ended over this! Even families have been divided! This election was about us. And it truly brought into light just how divided we are, as a nation. Four years ago, when Barack Obama was proclaimed...

look forward into the next four years… The Presidential Election is tomorrow. We've had an entire year of campaigning, mud-slinging ads, fact-checking, debates, zingers and Facebook memes, all trying to convince us for whom to vote. And yet, the race is still neck-and-neck! What shocks me to the core is that any ONE of Mitt Romney's indiscretions should have been enough to effectively kill his campaign, and yet half of the country is s...

Ann Romney tries (again) to paint her husband as a selfless, giving individual, but doesn’t realize how obvious her desperate spin on the subject is… Why is this man even a viable contender in the race for the presidency? Being “self-serving” is not an admirable trait, no matter how it’s presented. It’s the reason that bums sit in front of Walmart. They’re obviously successful there because it’s hard to justify denying a man a dollar to put...

Town Hall Meeting or Recorded Propaganda Message? Today I surprised to receive a phone call from the Romney/Ryan camp. I was about to hang up, when I heard that this was supposed to be different: This was supposed to be a telephone Town Hall meeting with Congressman Paul Ryan, during which I would be offered the chance to ask Congressman Ryan a question or two of my own. So I took my hand off of the “End” button on my phone, lit a cigarette ...

With the 2012 Presidential Election looming, the subject on your mind at this moment is probably the future of this country. Few elections have been this divisive or heated. And few elections have seemed so poised to determine the future of our country for the next fifty years or longer. On one side, there are the Republicans and their extremist friends, the Tea Party. On the other, you have Democrats. In-between, there are the Independents,...

So, for those of us who live in caves (Wait. How are you reading this?) Mitt Romney opened his mouth at the second Presidential Debate of 2012 last night and surprisingly, (sarcasm?) another load came out of the wrong end. When asked about his views on gender equality in the workplace, he told a charming story about his governorship of Massachusetts: "We took a concerted effort to go out and find women who had backgrounds that could be qualifie...
