One of the useful idiots, aka human shields, who went to Iraq is now being fined "at least $10,000." Retired schoolteacher Faith Fippinger is, of course, refusing.

The Washington Post's Charles Krauthammer has an excellent article on the "Road Map" to nowhere.

Good article over at OpinionJournal.com by Katherine Kersten notes that churches shouldn't be like political parties -- trying to be inclusive as possible for the sole purpose of getting more people under the tent.

When this Boston Globe article came over the wire last night I was dismayed but not entirely surprised. The article is a rather long one regarding the Episcopal Church rejecting the adoption of a liturgy for same-sex relationships. (Though, today the Episcopal Church OK'd a "compromise" that some don't consider a compromise -- but that's […]

The USS Constellation has been decommissioned.

The Hoover Institution's Henry Miller has an op-ed piece in today's New York Times on DDT.
