This is the perfect antidote for those nauseating Mormon ads, the heinous Scientology spots and those creepy "Foundation For A Better Life" commercials that are increasingly plastered all over television and starting to invade movie theaters quite often these days.

Okay, I finally worked my way through most of my fuming over the inevitable re: Prop 8. I was relieved to learn that the 18,000 or so existing marriages will remain intact.

It's no secret that camouflage goes beyond a mere functional role and is very popular among certain segments of the U.S. population. Hunters would be far more frustrated without it, of course, and it's role in the armed forces can be traced throughout history. Anyone who has ever thumbed through a Cabela's catalog knows that camo has escaped it's ( Read more... )

Ever wonder what the difference is between Jesus and Jeezus?
