Daily News

This one issue has been in the news off and on again for a number of years now. The issue revolves around the United States Army and Wiccan service members. For years now, the Office of Veterans' Affairs has refused to give Wiccan soldiers the right to have a pentacle put on their tombstones. This issue is actually almost a decade old, and still almost nothing has come of it. Veterans' Affairs has continually come up with excuse after excuse, and now the hold up seems to be only the waiting period which has been several years. The widow of one Patrick Stewart, who was killed when his helicopter was shot down in Afghanistan, has been fighting to no end to get their religion recognized on his tombstone. It is a sad day in America when we can not treat our fallen soldiers with the respect they deserve after they gave their very lives for our country.

Yes folks, you read that headline right. Apparently, the son lost a fight at school. The mother decided that the son should take revenge upon the boy he lost the fight to. The boy who won the fight suffered several gunshot wounds to his torso and died shortly thereafter in a trauma center. I don't understand what kind of sick bitch would encourage her child to kill someone else's. As an anthropologist, I have my own serious question about "mother's instinct." But the way I was raised tells me flat out that a mother who seriously loved her child could not fathom putting another mother through that hell. I hope they charge that stupid bitch with everything they can find.

This one is actually just quite funny. I think the fact that so many straight men probably wish they could have something going on with some of the women of Desperate Housewives, and the one who gets to pat Teri Hatcher's ass is George Bush Sr. That is almost too funny...
