The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck

Duck Dynasty 's Phil Robertson has become notorious for putting his foot in his mouth when talking to the media. Well, now it's fellow Duck Dynasty star Si Robertson's turn. When speaking with the Christian Post recently, Robertson said this: "There's a lot of skeptics (regarding God) . I don't believe there's such a thing as an atheist. Because there's too much documentation. Our calendars are based on Jesus Christ. Whether you believe in him or not, every time you write down the day's date you're saying he's here."

Like many over at Fox News, it appears as if Ben Stein feels that there's an all-out "War on Christmas" in this country. To Stein and his ilk, saying "Happy Holidays!" to a person can be translated to, "God is not present among us!" What pu...

CNN's Wolf Blitzer got caught in an awkward moment just following the devastating tornado which ravaged through Moore, Oklahoma. When speaking to a survivor of the storm - Rebecca Vitsmun - Blitzer said, "We're happy you're here. You guys did a great job. You've gotta thank the Lord, right? Do you thank the Lord for that split-second decision?" Vitsmun responded with, "I -- I'm actually an atheist." Blitzer came back with, "You are. All right. But you made the right call." Yes, Wolf, she thanked the Lord for a tornado which came close to killing she and her child, destroyed many homes in the area, and killed who knows how many people. Thank God for that...  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/21/wolf-blitzer-atheist-tornado-survivor_n_3316312.html
