The War on Selfishness

Posted by on Dec 23, 2009 in Rants | 3 comments

Every year around this time, we always hear about this so-called “War on Christmas”. Why do these talking heads like to drag the solstice through the muck?

Still, the experience and journey is worth it...

Get your Kabbalah Vodka chocked full of Christian Infants

Mmm, sounds tasty. Via Friendly Atheist: It’s probably fake, though. We all know there are no such things as “Christian Infants.” “Kabbalah Vodka with the Children of Christian Parents” just doesn’t have the same appeal, though… Exactly. You may also read the...
