Vive la France – NOT
If the French National team managed to accomplish one thing during the 2010 World Cup, it was too reinforce every negative stereotype against France. Putting the final touch on a truly classless performance on the field and off was French coach Raymond Domenech, who refused to shake hands with South African coach Carlos Alberto Parreira, […]
And then there is the view from the odd coast
Yesterday, Father Orthoduck published the resolution from the Southern Baptist Convention. However, not all people have as balanced a view of the oil spill as the SBC had in its resolution. In fact, above is a YouTube video from one of the less restrained folk. If you look at this video and then search, you […]
Southern Baptists speak out on the Gulf oil spill
Below is the text of the resolution on the Gulf Oil spill passed by the Southern Baptist Convention at their meeting last week in Orlando.

It also means that […]
USA and Slovenia tie
USA 2 and Slovenia 2 Who would have thought it? Actually more than one commentator thought that the USA had won the game, except our third goal was taken away from us by the referee. As usual, this will lead to a lot of debates as to whether there ought to be some type of […]
Apology to BP for being tough on them
In an astonishing move, U.S. Representative Joseph Barton of Texas, a Republican, apologized to BP executives for an Obama shake-down, as Barton called it. He criticizes Obama for his actions at yesterday’s meeting with BP in getting billions of dollars in restitution to fix and restore the Gulf of Mexico in regard to the oil […]
Latinos, the Scots, the Welsh, and Braveheart
OK, so I stretched a bit in coming up with the title above, but it helps me to make a point. Recently the following reader comment was made: . . . I oppose Tagalog in Alaska and French in Lousiana and Maine if used for official government purposes. And in New Mexico Spanish language rights […]
