Bill Cosby, in the interest of helping men understand the agony of giving birth, likened it to “taking your lower lip, and pulling it up over your head.” I’m not sure how close a match that would be, but I know it is closer than this: Rachel was in the hospital the day after giving […]

Definition: the time and space when, under the guise of claims to freedom, cheerleaders take over. Word in context: Kountze, Texas, appears no longer to be a democracy, but a Cheeranny. A judge ruled yesterday in favor of the Kountze High School Cheerleaders and their right to print whatever they want, including Bible verses, on […]

I would like to propose an adjustment in Christian terminology.

Someone shared this with me in an email titled: Church Services of the Future. (It can also be found at places other than FreeRepublic.com. I believe the idea behind the email (I was among a good number of recipients) was to engender discussion of the ways technology is, or seems to be, or threatens to [...]
