When I die, I would like to be eaten by puppies.

I would prefer happy, rambunctious puppies, about eight weeks old and from the same litter if possible; come to think of it, Dalmatian pups would be ideal, because when I was...

Dear Catholics: I Am Heartily Sorry, etc.

(315) Comments | Posted February 28, 2012 | 4:12 PM

Actually, I'm not sorry at all, but I suppose an explanation is in order.

Last week, I wrote a piece with the somewhat provocative title "The Jesus-Eating Cult of Rick Santorum." The purpose was to take Santorum to task for his persistent and opportunistic attacks on the faith...

It's time to take a good hard look at Rick Santorum's faith.

Many of you will be shocked to learn what our possible future president believes, who he answers to, the bloody jihads his so-called church has carried...

Why Hasn't Nancy Grace Been Fired?

(501) Comments | Posted February 20, 2012 | 5:47 PM

She's untruthful, unethical, hateful and often wrong. She makes America worse. Can her.

There she went again, smearing her vile invective across our screens, diminishing us all as human beings.

Poking her stink finger into another none-of-her-business, Nancy Grace managed to make the death of Whitney...

Playing the Stupid Card

(0) Comments | Posted January 31, 2012 | 8:00 AM

"He is counting on us not having YouTube. That's how much he thinks we're stupid," Newt Gingrich yelled at Floridians a couple of days ago, before adding, tongue in jowl, "and we're not stupid."

Leaving aside the questionable link between YouTube and nonstupidity, Gingrich has a point. Mitt...

Stop Wasting Your Hate

(0) Comments | Posted January 24, 2012 | 8:00 AM

I like hate. It's delicious, hot or cold. It burns clean. It makes office work bearable and it shapes nations -- even and, perhaps especially, ours.

That's why I hate to see it wasted.

It's not news to anyone with an Internet connection that we are awash in hate, an...

South Carolina Is a Welfare Queen

They say he is a panderer, that he is just telling people what they want to hear, and yet there was Mitt Romney in South Carolina last night, vowing to prevent America from becoming a "European social welfare state," promising to end an unjust system "where government takes from some...

An Unthink Piece

Curious: For the past month, books about presidents (Being George Washington, Killing Lincoln and Jack Kennedy) by pundits (Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly and Chris Matthews respectively) have occupied three of the top five slots in the New York Times' nonfiction bestseller list.

Gimme Some Truth for Xmas

My mother did not believe gift giving should be gratuitous. Every present had a purpose and often a moral. Some years back, we had to talk her out of giving a relative a bathroom scale for Christmas because "he obviously doesn't know how much he weighs."

It is in that...

And Justiff for All

Why does the Supreme Court bother to hear cases at all anymore? Is it a parlor game, a form of rhetorical kabuki or do the justices still believe that they make up their minds after hearing the evidence, based on unwavering legal principles?

The days are long past when a...

The Media Is Eating Your Brains, Some Say

I'll admit it: I once was a journalist. I needed the money, and anyway, at the time the news media was devoted to uncovering the truth, not working to destroy it.

I worked the Chicago desk for United Press International where, every two or three days, a woman would call...
