I don’t think I’m going to drink the water the next time I go to the Capitol building in Washington. I also might need to make myself a nice little aluminum foil hat. Just when I thought things couldn’t get any crazier, a member of the United States House of Representatives staff, identified in press reports as a stenographer, jumped to the podium during the debt limit vote and began shouting. She had to be removed from the room. Reporters... Read more
I am out of words for this stupidity. It appears that the hermetically sealed brains in Congress really do think that this crisis they’ve manufactured is all about them. I’ve got news for them. The causes are all about them. But the consequences are about everybody but them. This reminds me of one of those movies where the bad guy takes a hostage, usually the hero’s best girl or his child, and holds a gun to the screaming, terrified victim’s... Read more
Police are treating a recent fire at the Daughters of Divine Charity community on Staten Island as a hate crime. One of the sisters is in intensive care, due to injuries as a result of this fire.

Regression to the mean is a term used in statistics. Simply put, outstanding results will always go back to average results. If, for instance, the ocean produces a rogue wave of 100 feet, it will eventually go back to producing more normal waves. Every time nature produces a Michelangelo, it compensates by going back to producing a plethora of those of us in the paint by numbers crowd. Human institutions appear to have a form of regression to the... Read more
How do you define inconsistent? Pro abortion people fought a bill we passed here in Oklahoma that was an attempt to discourage sex-selected abortions. Their excuse for fighting the legislation was that it was unnecessary, since no one wants a sex-selected abortion and no doctor would do them, anyway. Half a world away, in Australia, a doctor is facing the loss of his medical license because he refused to do a sex-selected abortion or refer for a sex-selected abortion on a... Read more
Nick Vujicic‘s life is a testimony to a lot of things, including the love of God and what must be incredible parents. Of course, none of that would matter without the spirit of the man himself. Watch and be blessed. Read more
Trollop fashions are the antithesis of self-respect for young girls. It’s particularly significant that we push this stuff on even very young girls, including pre-schoolers. Every time I see an ad for a tv show about beauty pageants for girls under ten, I cringe. This video approaches the issue from a different angle. I’m interested to see what your reactions to it will be. Read more

I homeschooled my kids. What I got for my effort was straight A college students who also hold down jobs, make friends and think for themselves. No drugs. No arrest records. No unhappy memories of eye-rolling, back-talking teen-aged rebellions. Try it. You might like it. Read more
