The Chinese man who faced a possible death sentence for smuggling Bibles into China has been sentenced to two years in prison. He may end up being freed right before President Bush visits China next month. The man, Li Guangqiang, has already served 18 months. The truth is that he should never have been arrested […]
Well, I usually read Ann Landers and Dear Abby daily for a good laugh. A vast majority of the people who write in for advice lack the common sense God gave most people, it's amusing, but it's also good that there's someone with a lot of horse sense available for the wisdom-challenged. Ann and I […]
Well, I know how to program a VCR...I just can't seem to do it right. After spending the evening marking my friend Laura Little's imminent achievement of the quarter-century mark, I came home to watch the SDSU vs. UNLV mens basketball game.
