Rumor has it that there’s some kind of major holiday tomorrow, so perhaps it’s best to have a little Christmas-related discussion. The other day, a reader gave me a heads-up on a column from the Minneapolis Star Tribune’s Katherine Kersten, a conservative, who suggested that it’s about time for a “cease fire” in the “war […]
According to a report from ABC News’ Brian Ross, Ayman al Zawahri, al Qaeda’s No. 2 man, released a video tape that reportedly included messages for Democrats in the U.S. Apparently, the terrorist network wants credit for the results of the congressional elections. “The first is that you [Democrats] aren’t the ones who won the […]
Between Dennis Prager, Roy Moore, and Rep. Virgil Goode (R-Va.), Rep.-elect Keith Ellison’s (D-Minn.) very presence in Congress seems to be causing all manner of consternation among far-right observers.

Guest Post by Morbo Education Secretary Margaret Spellings is a petty and mean-spirited person. I’m sure she’s in a good mood these days because it appears she has triumphed over an animated rabbit on PBS named Buster. I’ve written about Buster before, but for those of you who have forgotten about it, here’s a quick […]
On Thursday, we learned that Rep. Robin Hayes (R-N.C.) reportedly articulated a rather unique vision for resolving the crisis in the Middle East. According to an account in a local paper in Hayes’ hometown, the lawmaker said: “Stability in Iraq ultimately depends on spreading the message of Jesus Christ, the message of peace on earth, […]
Guest Post by Morbo I try to be a reasonable guy when it comes to Christmas. If you want to celebrate the holiday, have at it. Deck your halls, go to church all day, drown in eggnog and charge up that credit card. I really don’t care. Just don’t try to force everyone to celebrate […]
