Here’s an interesting article on the death of Buddhism in Japan. Until recently the Japanese have been connected to Buddhism mainly through funerals but even that tie is breaking: But the move to funeral homes has sharply accelerated in the last decade. In 1999, 62 percent still held funerals at home or in temples, while…

You would think they would be able to walk in high heels without falling. (When I think about the size of my heels when I was their age, I wonder why I never tripped and fell. I even wore them when I went dancing in the clubs, I must have been crazy! Now I trip…

Yeah! Finally Bush is ready to take control of the oil situation and stop allowing dictators telling us how much our oil will cost. Let’s drill our own and stop this dependence on foreign oil! What an answer to prayer. Now maybe the Congress will be forced to do something: “Congress has barred drilling since…

The price you pay for wooden literalism: Gregory James Coots, 36, of Middlesboro, faces more than 150 charges. The Associated Press reported that Coots is pastor of the Full Gospel Tabernacle in Jesus Name in Middlesboro, where a Tennessee woman died after being bitten by a rattlesnake during a service in 1995.

A Roosevelt conservative? A big government conservative? What an oxymoron! Why would I prefer a big government conservative over a big government liberal? He’ll just further erode the brand and we’ll continue to be tarred as the big spending party even though in principle we shouldn’t be (Bush has already ruined the brand with his…

I doubt that will happen. The left isn’t going to give up that easily and will probably redouble their efforts to get the White House back where it rightfully belongs (at least in the opinion of the MSM): IF BARACK Obama doesn’t win November’s presidential election in the United States, “you can kiss the Democratic…

This is why the price of oil is so high, the environmentalists make it impossible to drill: But the judge ruled the Forest Service didn’t consider how degrading the area could harm tourism, and said the agency did a “woefully inadequate” job of evaluating how the drilling might affect the Kirtland’s warbler, an endangered songbird…
