Two wrongs don’t make a right. Unless, of course, you are able to develop a celebrity driven media campaign and bullshit your way into some government grant money. Then wrong and right no longer matter. Such is the case with embryonic stem cell research. After a barrage of well funded, impassioned pleas by [...]
I hope they never sleep again. I hope every politician that voted in favor of the appalling, murderous practice of abortion and every doctor that ever performed one will lay awake every night for the rest of their lives, their minds racing with the thoughts of the abhorrent cruelty of their actions. Particularly now with [...]
“Who would do such a thing?” “How could something like this happen?” These are the questions leading off most of the Chicago area television and radio news shows. They are being posed by the distraught family members of the dearly departed who were, at least at one time, resting in peace at the Burr Oak [...]
We need to find some common ground in the murder of Dr. George Tiller. One guy thought it would be better if the doctor was dead and some others thought it would be better if he stayed alive. Where can we meet in the middle on this one? Allow me to be the first to [...]
According to our president we need greater understanding. Exactly what part of dead is it that we don’t understand?

He fakes right and goes left leaving everyone wondering how he can be so nimble. Whoa Nelly!!! If this was only an announcer’s call at a Notre Dame football game maybe the Fighting Irish would be in line for the Orange Bowl or the Rose Bowl instead of fighting for a spot in the Idaho [...]
I am a conservative. But I am also a realist. I wear the appellation of conservative with pride. But the fact that I am also a realist means that I don’t feel the need to think or even agree with all other conservatives all the time. On a general basis I can understand the thought [...]
American aphorist Mason Cooley is quoted as saying “Human society sustains itself by transforming nature into garbage.” Perhaps if he was still alive today he would revise his statement to say “Nature is overcome by turning humans into garbage.” And if he wouldn’t say it, I sure will. The unfortunate and ghastly truth is that [...]
Clip, clop, clip, clop. The first horseman rides a white horse and brings pestilence. The second horseman rides a fiery red horse and brings war. The third horseman rides a black horse and brings famine. The fourth horseman rides a pale green horse and brings death. So it is written. But when John wrote of [...]
OK, it’s honesty time. I was getting out of the shower today and happened to glance in the mirror. Holy crap I’m fat. I am not plump or big boned or whatever else you want to call it. I am truly, truly fat. As a kid I was what was called at the time “Husky”. [...]
