Finally someone has the courage to take on Westboro Baptist Church

I am very happy to know that someone has taken WBC to task regarding their loony dogma at hate-speak towards the military and America as a whole. While you may not agree with why we went to war in Iraq or why we are still there, the hateful rhetoric from this group is despicable. [...]

Dan Rather being the typical Dan Rather

As time goes more of Dan comes out in Dan Rather. Guess he figures CBS owes him a living for the rest of his life.

Alberto Gonzalez Resigns

All along I have thought that the witch-hunt against Gonzales regarding the attorney firing flap was much ado about nothing.

Finally, maybe some justice for Genarlow Wilson

Monroe County Superior Court Judge Thomas Wilson voided Genarlow Wilson’s sentence and dropped it to misdemeanor aggravated child molestation with a 12-month sentence, plus credit for time served.
