    Texas' 'Crazy County Judge' Similar to Noah and His Ark?

    Lubbock seems as far from the spiritual-moral-social-political-cultural tempest roiling America as that Mesopotamian dry gulch where Noah built his big boat was from the world's seven seas. No wonder Noah was a "national laughingstock."

    The Taste of Hate: Chick-Fil-A and the Numbing Down of Culture

    Equating Cathy's position with Page's or Breivik's trivializes the concept of hate, blunts and diffuses its meaning. Put a pinch too much salt on a boiled egg and even the little bit bites. Diffuse the same pinch on the Pacific Ocean and the salt loses its saltiness, to paraphrase Jesus.

    Rahm Emanuel: High Priest of Chicago

    The mayor donned priestly regalia – in spirit if not physically – when he declared his outrage over the support for traditional marriage voiced by Chick-fil-A's president, Dan Cathy. The establishment media choir howled as usual in the same key that Cathy's position is "anti-gay," and the Chicago mayor-high priest rose to the pulpit.

    Joe Paterno and the Sandusky Statue

    Though Penn State may be able to take down the Paterno icon, it may never be able to rid itself of the Sandusky statue. It is the largest sculpture on the Penn State Campus. Some may protest that there is no Sandusky statue at Penn State. But there must be, because its shadow casts darkness over the Paterno statue, and blocks the light that normally glittered off the bronzed rejoicing face of the coach who always seemed so grim and resolute on the sidelines.

    Reverse Missions to the 'Dark Continent' (Part 1)

    "This is such a dark place." The irony stopped me in my tracks. The speaker was Jonas Kouassi-Zessia, an African émigré to Europe who had planted a church there. In the 19th and 20th centuries Europe – and America – was sending missionaries to Africa. Europeans and Americans referred to Africa as the "Dark Continent."

    Eurofornia and the Quest for a 'New Way'

    Despite California, despite the euro zone, despite the rusting socialist hulks littering the historic landscape, the Obama Administration works feverishly to turn the whole of the United States into Eurofornia.

    The White House Mystique and the Washington Warp

    The defeat last week of Senator Richard Lugar (R-Ind) in the Indiana GOP primary sends the ominous rumble of war drums out across the political landscape. No doubt the scary reverberations have reached as far as Utah, and the ears of another Republican, Senator Orrin Hatch.

    "If Congress refuses to act… I'll continue to do everything in my power to act without them," the President of the United States said recently. The "power" to which the President referred was that of issuing executive orders, given in Article II, Sections 1 and 3 of the Constitution.

    Anders Behring Breivik's Brain: Magic, Mysticism, Mayhem

    Hell is not a virtual world. Anders Behring Breivik proved it on July 22, 2011 when he slaughtered 77 people in Norway. On that summer day last year, Breivik pulled onscreen hellishness into the world of space, matter, and time. Last Thursday, in testimony at his trial, Breivik told of how he brought shocking virtual gore into horrible reality.
