Latest news from Iraq: Two soldiers were murdered and mutilated, then their bodies were booby-trapped.

Desecrating, decapitating, otherwise defiling...all in the name of Weapons of Mass Destruction that didn't exist.

Thought you might be interested in the latest totals. Since the war began in March 2003, 2,503 American military men and women have died. The "official" estimate of American wounded in the war is 18,490. Other estimates have put the number between 20,000 and 48,000.

I don't even know what to say anymore. I hear the Republican pro-war rhetoric and simultaneously want to punch someone, vomit and run to Canada.

With the July 4th holiday coming up, flags and all things red-white-and-blue are popping up all over. It's a patriotic time for our country, celebrating Independence Day. But does anyone else experience this...I see this Fourth of July color blitz and fireworks and celebration, and all I think of are the government's lies and lots of dead bodies.

Proud to be an American? Not right now.

Is it OK to own a Canadian?

In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, written by a U.S. resident, and posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative: Dear Dr. Laura: Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination ... End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them. 1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexic...

I remember the first time I heard the name "Les Anderson." A bunch of Wichita State University communication majors were sitting around on campus, talking about classes they planned to take. Several people warned me: watch out for Les Anderson. He was tough. He had a murderous grading scale. It was nearly impossible to get an A. They weren't kidding. But he wasn't tough just to be a tyrant. From his teaching sprang a fleet of incredible, successful journalists, writers, editors, broadcasters, public relations experts, advertisers, non-profit professionals...I could go on and on. Most importantly, he created a legion of people who wanted to make a difference in the world. The greatest gift Les gave to them all? He believed in them, cared about them for their own personal stories as well as the stories they told for class assignments or in the pages of his hometown newspaper. Les was my teacher. My boss. My mentor. My conscience. My champion. My friend. When I started c...
