    Rooting for The Apocalypse

    Folks living in cities of despair need to start voting with their feet. MOVE. Get away from the urban ghettoes to places where middle class values and a strong work ethic still prevail. Mass migration such as "white flight" from inner cities happened over the last three or four decades. It's...

    How Ron Paul's Minions Plan to Hijack the GOP Convention

    Ron Paul could help his candidacy by showing a more human side. Thousands of us are searching for dirt on this guy and we hit a dead end. Where are his scandals? What are the skeletons in his closet? Does he even have a closet? Surely, he must have skipped nap-time in kindergarten or...

    Liberals feign horror at every wrong-headed word uttered by conservative commentators. Rush Limbaugh is a lightning rod for Dems because for two decades he has excoriated them unmercifully. Naturally, the Dems want his scalp. Limbaugh is not an official or unofficial spokesman for the GOP...

    Limbaugh's radio empire is going to be just fine. Americans have a short attention span as another gussied-up controversy will soon come along. For every advertiser Limbaugh loses, a dozen will gladly seek to fill those spots. Rush does live radio three hours a day and sometimes gets himself...

    "Take it away from us, Jesus"

    Not to downplay the trauma of tornado victims, but I found the praying woman in the first video to be interesting as her prayer was interspersed with speaking in tongues. It is a common practice among some fundamentalist sects in Appalachia and the rural South. I have never heard anyone...
