Why Being Like God Means Persistent Interrupting

January 25, 2010

In one of the simplest, yet most profound articles I’ve read in a while, Toby Sumpter writes:

The War on “The War on Christmas”

December 2, 2009

Yes, you read that right. I’m starting my own war against “The War on Christmas.” I’m pretty fed up with the notion that there is a “war” against Christmas. That “war” was lost decades ago, and it had nothing to do with a “liberal media bias.”
