Remember when parsley was served as garnish at every restaurant meal in America? Nikki Haley is the parsley of the GOP. No matter what Republican voters order, the GOP tries to add Nikki Haley to the meal.

In a recent article by Marie Claire on how to bring on periods, the author said that the herb is a natural emmenagogue – meaning that it can stimulate or increase menstrual flow. While that is true, there’s a massive difference between sprinkling a bit of parsley over your pasta and shoving a bunch into your vagina. Marie Claire said: “Parsley can help to soften the cervix and level out hormonal imbalances that could be delaying your cycle, helping your period come faster.” “If you’re struggling to find a dish based on parsley, don’t panic – the most effective forms...

Doctors are warning women to not take the 'irresponsible' advice of putting parsley in their vagina to kick-start their period. The bizarre suggestion was made by women's magazine Marie Claire alongside other recommendations using food, drink and exercise. Women may want to make their period come sooner as a means of controlling their cycle ahead of a holiday or special event. According to the article, parsley is an emmenagogue - a substance that increases menstrual flow - which can 'soften the cervix and level out hormonal imbalances'. ... Marie Clare has now apologised for the article and taken it down...

Rev. Rod Parsley withdraws McCain endorsement Saturday, May 24, 2008 10:08 PM THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH After saying Friday that he would not withdraw his endorsement of Sen. John McCain, pastor Rod Parsley has changed his mind. The pastor of World Harvest Church, in the Canal Winchester area, issued a statement almost identical to one he had sent late Friday night, but with one key change: the addition of the sentence “Therefore I withdraw my endorsement.” Spokesman Gene Pierce wouldn’t shed light on Parsley’s decision, saying only “this statement is a clarification on (Friday’s) statement.” McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee for...

In today’s climate of “religious tolerance” it is more important for a person to allow all and any religious beliefs as some kind of area where everyone can be right. It is not politically correct to suggest anyone could actually be mistaken or mislead or outright deceived. Have we already forgotten Jim Jones or the Japanese cult that attacked the subways with poison? No, not all religions are OK. Even sincerity is a lousy substitute for the truth as in the genuine and sincere concern of the Doctor who prescribes the wrong medicines that result in someone’s death. Sincere; yes,...

The Wall Street Journal has published yet another damning sermon from Barack Obama's retiring minister of two decades, Jeremiah Wright. The displaced anger, bigotry, and hatred displayed is chilling: "We've got more black men in prison than there are in college," he began. "Racism is alive and well. Racism is how this country was founded and how this country is still run. No black man will ever be considered for president, no matter how hard you run Jesse [Jackson] and no black woman can ever be considered for anything outside what she can give with her body." Mr. Wright thundered...

Already we see Liberal Media is equating Jerimiah Wright's relationship with Obama to Rob Parsely's support of McCain. Not sure if it would work. Hillary is the Big Winner here. Once again this proves that Klintons are the LUCKIEST people in the world. One of the CNN African American contributor, whose name I forget, he was interviewing Obama's new Pastor. He clearly BLAMED the Wright material getting out on SEAN HANNITY and NEWSMAX'S EDITOR WHO WORKS FOR WALL STREET JOURNAL. So Hillary gets THREE benefits out of this: 1) Her own race card works perfectly and they finally succeed in...

(Reuters) John McCain described Rod Parsley, a televangelist who urged a Christian war on Islam, as his spiritual guide Hannah Strange John McCain, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has been called upon to renounce a church leader he considers his spiritual guide for urging a Christian war to destroy the “false religion” of Islam. A number of prominent US weblogs demanded he reject the support of Reverend Rod Parsley, of the World Harvest Church of Columbus, an influential televangelist and political figure who campaigned alongside him in the run up to the Ohio primary. On February 26, a week before...

More than 30 local pastors last night officially accused two evangelical megachurches of illegal political activities. In a rare and potentially explosive action, the moderate ministers signed a complaint asking the Internal Revenue Service to investigate World Harvest Church of Columbus and Fairfield Christian Church of Lancaster and determine if their tax-exempt status should be revoked. The grievance claims that the Rev. Rod Parsley of World Harvest Church and the Rev. Russell Johnson of Fairfield Christian Church improperly used their churches and affiliated entities — the Center for Moral Clarity, Ohio Restoration Project and Reformation Ohio — for partisan politics,...

SHEPHERDSVILLE - Bullitt County Sheriff Paul Parsley doesn't believe he should pay someone who wants to take his job. So on Wednesday, when deputy David Greenwell's intent to run for sheriff was publicized in The Pioneer News and The Courier-Journal, Parsley fired him. In a letter sent to Greenwell, Parsley stated, "... you informed the public and me personally that you are running against me for sheriff... Therefore, I am terminating your employment with me and my office for obvious reasons." (Greenwell provided a copy of the letter; Parsley could not be reached on Tuesday to confirm the document.) Parsley...
