Oh dear:
Harry Reid is breaking with the President, claiming that while he respects freedom of religion, he’s not willing to support an Islamic center near Ground Zero.
Specifically, says Reid spokesman Jim Manley, he thinks the “mosque” should be built “some place else”:
The First Amendment protects freedom of religion. Senator Reid respects [...]
Shorter Christine Flowers: Raping Children “Just a Mistake”, Church Critics Unfair
No, seriously:
The details, while shocking, refer to horrors committed more than 20 years ago, but they’re being used to condemn a church that – more than any other organized faith institution in the world – has made the most public and painful act of contrition in history.
Yes, grievous mistakes were made, under a veil [...]
Festivus!
I kind of feel like I’ve spent the year celebrating Festivus, at least the part of airing my grievances. All I need is my aluminum pole, and then Christina and I will engage the Feats of Strength: until she pins me, Festivus isn’t over!

Dear Ayatollah Khatami…
there seemed little likelihood that the Iranian authorities would be swayed by the harsh words, as a senior cleric called for demonstrators to be punished “ruthlessly and savagely.”
At Friday prayers at Tehran University, a senior cleric, Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami, referred to the demonstrators as rioters and declared, “I want the judiciary to punish leading rioters [...]
Monday Incident
I saw them walking up the street and harassing my neighbors as I walked up my front porch. White shirts, blue ties, dark pants, hair immaculately cut and combed.
