Lesson of the midterm election: Archie Bunker lives!

“Where do we go from here? The battles done and we kind of won. So we sound our victory cheer. Where do we go from here?” – Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Episode ‘Once more with feeling’. So where do we go from here? That is the question that Republicans must ask themselves after Tuesday’s midterm [...]

A modest proposal for a Palin-Beck campaign

Like moths to a flame, members of the Tea Party movement have found themselves attracted to a dream ticket of Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck to square off against incumbent Barack Obama and thus restore the nation’s honor. Restoring honor apparently has something to do with stemming the tide of marriage-minded gay Mexican Muslim Marxists [...]

An Elijah moment courtesy of extortion

So would-be Koran-burner Terry Jones has abandoned his plans to have an Elijah moment. The pastor of the Dove World Outreach Center made the announcement this afternoon after Defense Secretary Robert Gates telephoned him, and after allegedly extracting a promise to relocate the Cordoba House Islamic center further away from New York’s Ground Zero. In [...]

Pachyderm party’s second opinion sounds familiar

You’ve seen this happen whenever kids compete on the playground: one child fails in spectacular fashion, and immediately issues a plaintive cry for a “do-over.” So it goes in the Pachyderm Party, where tea partyists listen to luminaries like Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck drive the level of discourse down to grade-school levels. Having failed [...]

What Arizona has done to as all shouldn’t happen to a dog

The driver of the 2017 BMW sedan was hit with twin blasts of Arizona heat as he rolled down the electric window. Some of the heat came from the blazing sun on a roadway outside Flagstaff. The rest of the heat was personified by an Arizona State Trooper who had just pulled him over. “What [...]

Animated Healthcare Debate Just Cartoonish

I grew up during the heyday of the Saturday morning cartoon. Week after week, I’d watch the adventures of characters such as Scooby Do, Spider-Man and Jonny Quest, all rendered with colors that were only slightly less vivid than those of whatever breakfast cereal I was consuming. But not even the countless hours of animated [...]

Thank You

Dear friends from Street Prophets, If I have learned nothing else over the past year, I can now say without a doubt that the generosity shown by progressive people of faith exceeds anything I could ever have expected or imagined. There are small communities in western Kentucky that have fewer books than I now possess. [...]

When the First Amendment trumps the Eighth Commandment

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. –Deuteronomy 20:16 The Eighth Commandment. Not a real complicated rule. Not very difficult to understand, even when rendered in the somewhat archaic language of the King James Version of the Holy Bible. And yet the editor of publication aiming to serve Roman Catholics can’t seem to [...]
