My Vote

I haven't decided how I'm going to vote.

Wait!

That's a lie!

It's generally said by people who either 1) don't have political opinions or convictions, 2) don't want to offend and/or 3) suffer from the malady of perfectionism. I'm opinionated, offensive and, given my proclivity to screw things up, it would be insane for me to be a perfectionist.

Tweet

Jerry Falwell died yesterday.

I ought to say something about him, but one wonders what in the world one can say.

Almost anything.

Christopher Hitchens, an atheist who says really dumb things and doesn't know it, said that he wished there was a hell and that Falwell was there.

Tony Campolo talked about Falwell's graciousness to Tony's wife Peggy.

Mel White, the gay guy who came out of the closet after he had written Falwell's autobiography (maybe Go … (Read More)
