Silly 'Sicko'

There's an excellent takedown of Michael Moore's latest bit of propaganda over at The New York Post. A sampling: Moore, at a Havana hospital, says he requested that his group receive exactly the same care as any Cuban who walked in—"and that’s exactly what they got." As comedy, this statement is on a par with […]

Palestinian terrorism

For those of you following the news the past week, you'll know that the Gaza Strip has turned into ground zero for the Palestinian civil war. For the record, we here at Hoystory wish to remind you that Islamic terrorists don't just hate Jews, they hate Christians too. Father Manuel Musalam, leader of the small […]

Where politics and religion intersect

I've never attended a church where the pastor got up on the pulpit and started going off on a political rant. If it ever happened, I'd be one of the first people to get to my feet and walk out, never to return. The closest I've ever seen is a pastor simply encouraging people to […]

Mainline churches

At the time, Scott Ott wrote a bit of satire […]

Happy Fathers Day

In recognition of this day when we honor fathers due to a conspiracy by the international greeting card cartel, I point you to this story in The Washington Post on know-it-all dads who make stuff up rather than confess that they don't know something. What can I say, but the story reminded me of my […]

De-Nifonged

The North Carolina Bar has disbarred Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong for his handling vendetta of an investigation into the since-debunked charges of rape leveled at three Duke University Lacrosse players. It's the least that he deserves. He should probably be very worried about a civil suit. If you're interested in more details on the […]

California GOP follies

Ron Nehring, last seen leading John Fund around by the nose, is the new head of the California GOP. If you've ever wondered why the state's GOP is in such sorry state, look no further than Nehring. The California Republican Party has decided no American is qualified to take one of its most crucial positions […]

The evil of making money

Since 1993, Bill and Hillary Clinton have had a blind trust that -- like the stock market -- has made money. As part of her presidential run, the Office of Government Ethics told Sen. Clinton that she had to de-blind the trust and reveal its contents. The trustees did their job -- and made the […]
