[quote]Curiously enough, that seems to be washington post specific layout. I checked a couple other sites, and while the article is identical (AP Wire), the photo captionioning on most of the actually relates to the fire.[/quote] [quote]the AP picks up articles from local newspapers? Perhaps there would be logic behind the picture if one were to look at the original article?[/quote] Good point and I looked into that question also. The Boston Globe carried its own version of the

[quote]it's logical to assume that anything that happens to an LDS church in Utah is caused by gay rights activists.[/quote] LQTMS. As a refugee... I mean, former resident of Salt Lake City, I know the constant enmity between the Church and the non-Mormon community throughout Utah quite well. The bad blood between ex-Mormons (and current Mormons) versus the LDS Church in Utah is well-documented. I was just incredibly surprised that Associated Press and the newspapers which carri

Apparently anything Mormon Church-related has everything to do with the ongoing struggle for legalized gay marriage nationwide. Even the tragic burning-to-the-ground of an LDS chapel in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on Sunday should be seen in light of how awful the Mormon Church is for opposing gay marriage in California. The article is quite sympathetic but it is accompanied by the photo below: [I]CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- A fire that began during Sunday morning services at a crowded

Arizona and Florida have effectively banned same-sex marriage. California's decision is still forthcoming, but as on 9:00 AM EST on Wednesday morning, the votes echo those cast in AZ and FL. And now for the effects: I got a very serious email this morning from my lesbian friend, mourning the dissolution of her marriage.

Know how I voice my opinion on MSNBC? I don't watch it. [quote]Olbermann is just a total left-wing loon. And there's no equivalent to Chris "I love Obama" Mathews on Fox.[/quote] The thrill must be running up both legs today for these two. And Ben Affleck nailed Olbermann on SNL over the weekend. Who saw an Olbermann parody coming from Ben Affleck?

I thought this debate was resolved in 1982. Dungeons and Dragons is not inherently demonic or anti-Christian. No more so than your average sci-fi or fantasy novel. In junior high school, I remember being persecuted by a Christian friend who staged an "intervention" for me, thinking I was addicted to gaming and couldn't go without D&D for a month. I gladly surrendered my books, manuals, and dice for that month and happily proved her wrong. I should've

Here is a fascinating article -- Hugo Chavez wants to meet with "the black man" who he predicts will win the White House tomorrow. What's even more fascinating is how Reuters is burying the article in the wrong section and the wrong subsection. Read the article below and please tell me why it's posted under [B][I]Reuters Africa / Energy and Oil[/B][/I] ? Is this an attempt to suppress the story?

[quote]And no, I don't feel bad for people making over a quarter million dollars, and no progressive tax programs don't make people not want to earn over a quarter million dollars.[/quote] I don't "feel bad" for them either -- it's not about feelings, it's about facts. The fact is that "high wage earners" -- which is being conveniently redefined lower and lower as we approach Tuesday the 4th -- are those professionals and small business owners who drive the economy. Tax them hig

[quote]I think in some ways maybe it could be considered overkill (especially depending on the degree). If I had it to do all over again, I am not sure I would have gotten my degree when I did (now I wouldn't regret having earned it BEFORE I had children...I just don't like the time it took away from my family). I do think it's important for women to have skills, education, plans, credit score, etc. to fall back on in case of an emergency if they are not working outside the home.[/quote]</
