The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck

In response to the Obama Administration making Plan B available over the counter for women of any age, conservative talking head and woman voted most likely to have been a man in a former life - Laura Ingraham - said the following on Fox News Tuesday morning: "These girls can't get their ears pierced, they can't take an Advil at school without parental permission. Yet, they can go into a pharmacy in this Brave New World of women's equality and - quote - reproductive health and get a morning after pill." She also said this reversal by the Obama Administration would be "a good deal for pedophiles" as well as "men who want to abuse women." So, if a pedophile or an abusive man rapes a woman, Ms. Ingraham would prefer that this woman not take the morning-after pill and increase the odds that she has an abortion than to take the morning-after pill and decrease the odds of having an abortion? For a woman that is so anti-abortion, I find this to ...

Wanna know of a sure-fire way to get everybody at a party drunk? Play a game I like to call "Getting Foxed with Benghazi." Here's how you play. First, you grab a bunch of shot glasses, bottles of liquor, and pass them around. Next, turn on the Fox News channel. Lastly, whenever someone on Fox News utters the word "Benghazi," you take a shot. This will guarantee that everyone is drunk and passed out within 15 minutes. You're welcome.

As a result, the right and left are pointing fingers more than Hugh Hefner's gotten laid. The right's general talking point is that four Americans died in the attacks an...

A church facing a lawsuit from former members whom have accused church officials of covering up sex abuse allegations is thinking about using the First Amendment as its defense. Sovereign Grace Ministries saw a former member indicted this past December on charges that he molested multiple boys in the 1980s, and is now dealing with the very real possibility that multiple members covered up these alleged acts. Seeming to hint that the church was going to lean on the First Amendment as the members' defense, University of Virginia law professor Douglas Laycock commented on the matter with the following: "To the extent that there's a First Amendment issue they're talking about, it is not about sexual abuse as a First Amendment right. It is about the church deciding for itself how to respond to claims of misconduct among its members." So, let me get this straight. Many members of the church don't believe in the separation of church and state, yet when it com...
