With the sad and scandalous news out of Oregon last night of Brittany Maynard’s state sanctioned suicide, thoughts turn toward the eternal consequences of such actions.

I was listening to the Rush Limbaugh Show today and heard Rush start talking about last night's Crossfire Show. I was only half way paying attention when he mentioned a question by Chatsworth Osborne, Jr..

The it hit me that Rush was using that moniker for our old friend Tucker Carlson. Well that...

Santorum, gays and the GOP May 10, 2003 Recent comments by Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) on homosexuality and the right to privacy raised a few eyebrows in the media and drew condemnation from advocates for gay and lesbian civil rights.
