This is a little off-topic, but it interests me at the moment. You’ve probably heard that Virginia governor Bob McDonnell has declared April Confederate History Month.  It’s not the first time Virginia has had this, er, celebration, but it is the first time since 2002. Some people think this is not a problem, and that [...]

When Chuck Norris popped up in my search results while I was researching the health care reform bill, my first thought was “Who does he think he is?”, followed quickly by, “But then, who do I think I am?” Norris has decided to uncover the dirty secrets of the health care reform bill on Townhall.com.

I’m feeling a strong need to say something. I’m deeply troubled by some of the political posts I’ve been reading.  These posts are on blogs I subscribe to via RSS, because the normally non-political content interests me.  I believe these posts are spreading incorrect information, but I’m also troubled by the level of anger and [...]
