It's time to once again clean up some of the open Web pages with some stuff that's worth reading: Scot McKnight over at Jesus Creed has an excellent post on the "Love the sinner, hate the sin" philosophy vis a vis homosexuality. John Leo gives out his annual award to the worst college president in […]
Kyle Smith over at the New York Post has a Q&A with Evan Coyne Maloney regarding his new film "Indoctrinate U." I've heard my alma mater figures prominently -- for all the wrong reasons.

The authorities have decided not to press hate crimes charges. And it only took two weeks to come to their senses -- that's above […]
