The other day I was working on my computer and after doing a fairly standard cut and paste in the document I had open I had a startling revelation. I had no idea how the computer did what it did. I mean it wasn't exactly putting someone on the moon but still how did this…

The other day I was thinking about a biography of John F. Kennedy I had watched on A&E. And I gained a whole new respect for a man who was assassinated when I was three years old. (You can do the math) Now I don’t know how you feel about JFK as a man or…

Bizarre; that was the first thought that came to mind when I read a news story about a man in Japan who had been discovered dead on the street.  The body, believed to be that of a homeless man in his late 60s or early 70s, was found in front of a popular department store…

I’m tired of being vilified.  You see, I’m pro-life, and it’s not because I’m a misogynistic old white man who wants to take away women’s control over their own bodies. It’s because I believe that pre-born children are human beings who deserve protection.  And I know that there are hard cases. When the mother’s life…
