It's issues like this that bring out the nuts on both sides of the political/religious spectrum. First off, Judge Roy Moore's installation of the monument and his subsequent press conferences have been nothing more than political grandstanding.

Today's example of the silliness of some letter writers comes to us from Ralph Porter of Portland, Ore., regarding the murder of defrocked priest and convicted child molester John Goeghan.

It's a rare day when a New York Times op-ed columnist is outdone by one here at the San Diego Union-Tribune, but James Goldsborough has accomplished this difficult mission. I read the Times' Bob Herbert column last night, knowing well that I would get another quagmire diatribe because of this week's terrorist bombing of the […]
