Can’t sell your house? Try voodoo magic!
I was chatting with my friend Jeff Wagg today. Jeff just bought a new house, complete with a yard, which has a garden. He found a memorial stone in the garden, and upon returning it to the former homeowner, he was informed that there was something else buried in the garden — the remains of four dead hookers. No, just…

Review: “Men of Peace?” by Jack Chick
Jack Chick is nothing if not timely. Evolution in the news? BAM, he whips up a tract that would make Darwin quiver in his underpants.

Happy Monday, devoted readers! First, I’d like to more formally thank the previous few weeks’ bloggers Bug_Girl, TKingDoll, and sraiche.

Sunday Sermon Part Deux
Is Religion Necessary for Morality? In a word, no…though you probably guessed I’d say that.
