I’ve only been married for seven months, but without your help, it could be over.
The problem is those gay people. And I mean that in the best possible way. If not for the bold pronouncements of President Bush and the Pope, it might already be too late. But now, thanks to them, […]

Reuters offered up a welcome headline today - “Bush Accepts Blame for African Uranium Charge”
Okay, the above seven-word headline might be much more specific, detailed, and comprehensive than anything anything Bush actually said. But you have to give our President points for really talking straight about that situation with the thing in that place […]

Telemarketers are suing the government over the new national do-not-call list (which can be found here).
