Evangelical Christians are finally starting to take Bush to task over his policies on torture.
U.S. reporter Andrew Tilghman is haunted by conversations he had with Steven D. Green, the discharged private now accused of raping a 14 year old Iraqi girl and murdering her and her family.
Officials in both Ohio and Florida are enacting draconian and possibly unconstitutional voting regulations to keep the number of voters down.
Religious fundamentalists are now officially crazy. I mean that. No joking around anymore. These people have a mental impairment. They are actually hemming and hawing about a new vaccine that prevents cervical cancer and genital warts.
Oh, the hypocrisy. Christians want a disclaimer on the DaVinci code asserting that it is fiction (as if you couldn't figure that out by the fact that it's sold in the fiction section), but suggest that the bible should maybe have the same thing and they flip right out.
Isn't this illegal? Now if they want to charge her for perjury, then they could keep her in jail. But I'm pretty sure you can't a) keep someone in jail for their "own protection" or b) deny them the right to an attorney.
This Brit says that Americans are the most generous when it comes to charity and philanthropy. Nice to hear someone say something nice about us for a change.
The U.S. has the second worst newborn death rate in the world. This should shock me, but it doesn't. It's just yet another symptom of the appalling gap between the haves and the have-nots in our country. The poorest in our nation have little access to quality pre-natal care.
A study by the church of england finds that most young people feel just fine without god. This ought to throw a wrench into the evangelical movement. Then again, they don't usually pay attention to facts, why would they start now?
A vatican cardinal advises fellow wingnuts to file lawsuits over the book, The DaVinci Code and it's film version. In my favorite quote the cardinal says, "Christians must not just sit back and say it is enough for us to forgive and to forget".
So even the Pope's astronomer, a catholic priest, thinks that creationism is a ridiculous notion. Why is it that only American evangelicals actually try to take the Bible literally? I blame our education system. We haven't done enough to kick religion out of our schools.
Religion and Harry Potter, two subjects dear to my heart. Never the twain shall meet? Not so says John Sugg of Gwinnet county, Georgia, where a woman named Laura Mallory is attempting to have the Potter books banned from library shelves.
If there was a World's Fair in Toronto, I'd definitely go. One, Toronto is a beautiful city. Two, I don't think the average person is actually so into the internet that they find actual social interaction passé, at least not yet.
Evidence that Rumsfeld was directly involved in the torture of Guantánamo Bay prisoners. Reason #1,067 why he should be sacked.
States are helping public schools "omit" the test scores of many minority students in order to present a false picture of how the school is doing. To me, this is state sponsored racism and discrimination.
A couple in Missouri tries to fake having sextuplets, in order to get money. Can't believe they thought they'd get away with that one.
Scientists find a completely new and puzzling underwater environment.
I guess going to England is out for Americans. How sad. I don't support Bush or his policies, but the anti-americanism in Britain and the rest of Europe is a bit much. Nearly half of the people who voted in the last election voted against Mr.
Two high schoolers are trying to find a cure for Muscular Dystrophy, and coming awfully close. Who says today's youth are a waste?
Bush and Co. have hit new lows when it comes to job approval and trust. Being a party that appears to be made up mostly of criminals and liars, it's no wonder. Can it turn into Democratic wins at the polls in 2006? It's tough to say.
Wingnuts get mad at scientist Bill Nye for daring to contradict Genesis.
In response to a republican proposal to outlaw adoption by homosexuals in Ohio, Sen. Hagan proposes that Republicans not be allowed to adopt either. I say Republicans are much more detrimental to children then homosexuals.
That famous example of frivolous lawsuits, the McDonald's coffee lady, is actually a perfectly legitimate lawsuit.
Basically, Bush lied and now his advisors are trying to backpedal on his behalf.
Sigh, of course the e-mails went missing...
