Let Us Not Bicker About Who Killed Who

Wow.  This paragraph is astounding: In other words, the Adkisson case provides a case study in the secular demonology of the left. We’re seeing the politics of hatred in action. It’s marked by demands for vengeance and modes of discourse seeking to protect the perceived purity of the liberal sensibility. It is irreligious and opportunistic. It is the repudiation of … Read More

A nice blog report about the services at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church.  As you may know, the gunman interrupted a church performance of "Annie" which (obviously) never reached the final curtain. Today, the kids sang "Tomorrow".  That’s very Unitarian.

You know, it’s both laughable and disturbing that pundits like Michelle Malkin can make their daily bread by referring to liberals as the "unhinged left", accompanyed by such adjectives as "deranged" and so on. When was the last time a disgruntled liberal started shooting people he disagreed with politically or socially?  Ever???  It just seems to me that even at … Read More

Hi, guys.  It’s quite obvious, looking at you, why you are unable to have sex with an actual living girl…. And I know, man.  We’ve all been there, especially at the awkward pimply face age. But, I gotta tell you, digging up girls to have sex with?  So, not cool. Their intended victim was a 20 year old nursing assistant … Read More

This I didn’t know: This creepy but not entirely successful 2006 psycho-thriller about paranoia and insect infestations was directed by William Friedkin, most famous for The Exorcist. Despite dealing with a few murders and plenty of craziness in its own plot, the crime it inspired was considerably more horrific and strange. In January, blaring headlines like “Millionaire executive unhinged by … Read More

This is painful to watch: CNN: The video is hard to turn away from. A sobbing 16-year-old sits in her bedroom and, staring into a camera, says she has been raped. "Hi, my name is Crystal … I need some help. I didn’t want to do it this way, but it’s the only way I know that’s going to work, … Read More

This is the kind of thing that makes my blood boil: For the second time in two months, an innocent man is being released from North Carolina’s death row. Levon "Bo" Jones spent 13 years on death row after being convicted of the 1987 murder of Leamon Grady. Federal judge Terrence Boyle vacated Jones’ conviction and death sentence in 2006 … Read More

News of five bodies, apparently murdered in Iowa, was in the news this morning…. Now comes breaking news of four bodies, apparently murdered, found in Charlotte…. Sadly, as the economy gets worse, I think we’re going to see more and more stories like this.

Michael Sheridan, an eighth-grade honors student who was suspended for a day, barred from attending an honors dinner and stripped of his title as class vice president after he was caught with … Read More

The Experience Of Getting Arrested

A blogger at Gawker, who has never been in trouble with the law, took a swig from a beer (in a paper bag) while in the subway Tuesday night.  A crime, but not (so she thought) one that the NYPD would care too much about.  She was wrong.  After 24 hours being held in two jails, and after night court … Read More

Just not these guys: A video which apparently shows US soldiers torturing a puppy has sparked outrage after it appeared on internet sites such as YouTube. The footage, which is just 15 seconds long, shows a man dressed in military uniform holding the black and white puppy up to the camera by the scruff of its neck. He then hurls … Read More

A couple of badass gangstas in Florida made — and then uploaded — a YouTube video.  In it, they brandished their guns and assault weapons — braggin’ about what bad mofos they is, and challenging the Miami-Dade Police Department’s Special Investigation Gang Unit to come and get them. The police complied with the gangstas’ request.
