After a full day of thinking over the events of yesterday, I believe I know who perpetrated the terrible bombing in Boston, and just as importantly, why.

I stopped a long time ago, and I don’t miss it; they’ve become (occasionally) as nutty as a fruitcake, though there are some serious folks who continue to contribute content there. Since I don’t visit WND anymore, [...]

Well, all right, Nancy Pelosi may not be dead dead, exactly (though she does occasionally engender comments along the lines of “doesn’t she look natural?”) but at least she’s out of the Speaker’s chair. Of course, San Fran Nan couldn’t exit the office without taking an extravagant taxpayer funded vacation, and without telling another gargantuan [...]
