When challenged about this terminology, the MSM seems [...]

I have absolutely no confidence that, as currently arranged gerrymandered, Congress will see no meaningful reform. Why? Incumbency. Virtually every incumbent seat in the House of Representatives is safe. We have almost no real congressional challenges. Once an incumbent, always an incumbent – until death do us part.

First, the issue of a blogger community, with respect to the church:
I’m not [...]

What if I Stumble? links to an article about the Vatican copyrighting the Pope.
While I wouldn’t agree with Vittorio Messori that the Pope is “the principal interpreter of the Gospel,” I do agree that putting a copyright on all papal documents will surround the clergy [of the world's largest Christian church] with the odor of [...]

Lost my tennis match this afternoon, 7-5, 7-5. Might have something to do with my right quad not loosening up at all until the second set. Or, it might have something to do with playing with a different partner every match this year. Oh well, the team still won, 4-1.
