Here's another one of those uneducated, ignorant right-wing idiots lying about global warming again: Solar scientists predict that, by 2020, the sun will be starting into its weakest Schwabe solar cycle of the past two centuries, likely leading to unusually cool conditions on Earth. Beginning to plan for adaptation to such a cool period, one […]

I was poking around The Washington Post's Web site when I decided to check out their "On Faith" feature. Ambivalence can probably best describe my feelings about the site -- I think it is too heavily populated by those mainline churches that nobody goes to anymore. When panelists tout their membership in the Jesus Seminar, […]

Crossing Wall Street points out that New York Times columnist Paul Krugman shouldn't be giving out financial advice. June 20, 2007 Paul Krugman Four Years Ago Today The big rise in the stock market is definitely telling us something. Bulls think it says the economy is about to take off. But I think it's a […]

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who became a Republican back in 2001 in order to avoid a crowded primary field on the Democrat side in his run for mayor, yesterday announced that he was quitting the GOP. This really isn't big news in and of itself -- everyone realized why he joined the party […]

Today's New York Times op-ed page has a piece from an alternate universe. The piece, "What Hamas Wants," is by the political adviser to Hamas' since-deposed Palestinian prime minister. THE events in Gaza over the last few days have been described in the West as a coup. In essence, they have been the opposite. Eighteen […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

In an opinion piece in Saturday's Washington Post, U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki Moon identifies the root of the genocide taking place in Darfur. Almost invariably, we discuss Darfur in a convenient military and political shorthand -- an ethnic conflict pitting Arab militias against black rebels and farmers. Look to its roots, though, and you […]

This Sunday we bring you this bit of insanity from one of those mainline churches. Several years ago when the Episcopal Church decided that Romans 1 was a bother and the book of Leviticus was right out, they approved the church's first openly gay bishop. At the time, Scott Ott wrote a bit of satire […]
