By Paul Harvey

…supplies ready-made (if sometimes made-up) quotations ready for use in the latest public policy debate, whether they involve school prayer, abortion, the wonders of supply-side economics, the Defense of Marriage Act, or the capital gains tax.

By Neil J. Young

…ess. To be sure, many evangelical businesses shoot for racial diversity or promote “color blind” office policies. That is a stark departure from the openly discriminatory practices of the past.

…not think, in the places we are told to look for it. Many have viewed the latest proposed federal “bailout”—let’s be honest about this, and call it what it is: the federally sponsored purchase of crappy investments in order to keep the real shit from hitting the fan—as the end of capitalism as we know it, and from the perspective of the political right, the socialization of what should be private debt and private failures. On the left, the descri…

…ripture citation on Tebow’s eye-black didn’t make in onto the cover of the latest NCAA football video game. Perhaps to capitalize on the new evangelical football star in Denver, Focus on the Family will be airing ads during Broncos games this season.

Farfur, the little mouse, bore a striking resemblance to Mickey Mouse and was killed by an Israeli interrogator.
