I went to the Doctor the other day. After waiting to see him for about 35 minutes past my appointment time, which I hear is not bad now days, he spent 5 minutes with me and then asked, “Do you have any questions?” To which I replied, “No.” Whenever I come home from the doctor Lisa [...]

This is a video of speaker, author, talk show host Frank Turek of Crossexamined.org explaining that it takes a lot more faith to be an atheist than to believe in God. Frank makes a point that DNA proves that man is a product of intelligent design. What do you think of the explanation?

I get emails every day, even though I have requested several times to be taken off their list, from conservative political groups trying to enlighten me on what the left is doing. Many times they are hateful and they are very aggressive.
So do you wonder like I do, if someone would just kind of give [...]

I follow the Freakonomics blog in the NY Times on Twitter…..It is great for research that is suprising……
In a recent article they quote a report by Paola Giuliano and Antonio Spilimbergo on the affect of the recession on the younger generation.
The authors found that people who grew up during a recession “tend to believe that success in [...]

You don’t hear the word integrity in the media a lot now days. You might hear it in the little good neighbor blurb at the end of a newscast, but for the most part, integrity is a word avoided in today’s cultural belief in no moral absolutes.
The definition of integrity is a strict adherence to a standard [...]

If there is any doubt in your mind, this is a chick flick to the nth degree. It is probably a really good movie for a bunch of ladies to enjoy together after swinging by Walgreens and getting some movie candy. (I recommend Whoppers or Hot Tamales) Since a big part of the movie is [...]
