Sometimes a person makes an innocent mistake, sometimes someone tells a deliberate lie. Most times, the effect is the same either way, but if what conservative Christians say of the Final Judgement is true, intentions matter. So we’ll start with the twisted view of religion laid out by Mike Luckovich: It is impossible to venture […]
David Rowe picks up on both themes for today: King Charlie has been diagnosed with cancer, and so has Uncle Sam, at least in the John Dean sense of there being a cancer on the presidency. We’ll get back to that second part. As for the King’s cancer, Matt is refreshingly sarcastic about the vague […]

It used to be that the only kind of sleeves available looked like big ugly bandages, but LympheDIVAs, a company started by two women with breast […]
Paul Jon Boscacci, creator of Fort Knox, will start an ongoing story-line on the topic of prostate beginning next Monday. General Wickum, Commander at Fort Lincoln and main character Joe Knox’s CO, will reveal his illness on November 12. He will receive treatment over the next several months with the Knox family (including the General’s […]
