U.S. Presidential candidate John McCain says that recent changes in his campaign staff are "A natural evolution."

He should take a tip from his conservative base and consider intelligent design.

Let's celebrate the last Independence Day under Bush/Cheney by listening to strangers' private phone calls and shooting friends in the face.

AUSTIN, Texas --The head of the Texas agency that removed more than 400 children in the raid of a polygamist group is retiring.

Carey Cockerell is the commissioner of the Department of Family and Protective Services, who staged the April raid on the Yearning For Zion Ranch in Eldorado.

The raid and its legal issues have cost Texas $14 million so far.

Let me guess; Cockerell wants to spend more time with his wives and children...

So, I'm walking through WalMart and my eye catches a fake-flower bridal bouquet (with box!) at the end of the aisle.

I wondered, I have to admit, what bride would pick up her bouquet at WalMart? - Then I realized I was observing WalMart's marketing brilliance at work.

The bridal bouquets were only three aisles over from the shotguns...

 

IBM just announced the new Roadrunner computer. It is twice as fast as the previous record holder at 1000 trillion operations per second.

In a small Texas town, Drummond's bar began construction on a new building to increase their business. The local Baptist church started a campaign to block the bar from opening with petitions and prayers. Work progressed right up till the week before opening when lightning struck the bar and it burned to the ground.

The church folks were rather smug in their outlook after that, until the bar owner sued the church on the grounds that the church was ultimately responsible for the demise of his building, either through direct or indirect actions or means. The church vehemently denied all responsibility or any connection to the building's demise in its reply to the court.

As the case made its way into court, the judge looked over the paperwork. At the hearing he commented, "I don't know how I'm going to decide this, but as it appears from the paperwork, we have a bar owner who believes in the power of prayer, and an entire church congregation that does not."
