The First Amendment, State Religion and the GOP
This has been an unusually cold winter. I spent much of the winter on an island in a warmer part of the country. The days were beautiful with lots of sunshine but the temperature remained 10-20 degrees cooler than normal. That

McCarthyism: The link between Cruz and Bachmann.
U.S. Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) is the first woman to be elected to represent Minnesota’s sixth district, a staunch conservative, a cracker-jack fundraiser, and is often referred to as the Tea Party’s “darling.” She is also someone who has historically said the wackiest

A smile for those afflicted with dominant species syndrome.
This morning, I read a great blog post, “A “Right” Perspective.” The writer shares an interesting experience about a couple they met while on vacation. The couple stressed our government is too big with too many services that are exploited

My day of rest, sort of.
Today, I will not write about the madness of the political arena. I will stay away from searching for value in the heart of darkness. Today, I will read stories that amuse and entertain me instead of a plethora of
