The broiling brouhaha over Barack Obama's "lipstick on a pig" comment the other day is showering both sides of the political debate with industrial strength stupidity. One would hope it's obvious he wasn't calling Sarah Palin a pig, and the prefabricated outrage ranking his comment alongside such genuine offenses such as the recent comment by a . . . → Read More: Can We Put This Lipstick-Smeared Pig To Bed Now?

It’s always been easy to spot the truly godly among us. They’re the ones hated with intense passion. About the only current exception to this dictum I can think of is Billy Graham, and even he’s had an occasional brickbat thrown his way.
Why do the godly arouse such ire? They stand as living proof to . . . → Read More: Jesus and Sarah Palin
