    Fax sent to CEOs of Parent Companies Of History Channel which portrays the Crusaders in history as the evil antagonists against the more innocent Muslims . [FAX WAS SENT IN CAPS] DEAR PRESIDENT OF HEARST, NBC, ABC, PARENT COMPANIES OF A&E - ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT TV (HISTORY CHANNEL); IT HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY CLEAR THAT THE HISTORY CHANNEL HAS REALLY BECOME THE HEARSTORY CHANNEL.

    CHAPTER 5. THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD CONSPICUOUS IN THE CREATION, AND CONTINUAL GOVERNMENT OF THE WORLD. This chapter consists of two parts: 1. The former, which occupies the first ten sections, divides all the works of God into two great classes, and elucidates the knowledge of God as displayed in each class. The one class is treated of in the first six, and the other in the four following sections: 2. The latter part of the chapter shows, that, in consequence of the extreme stupidity of men, those manifestations of God, however perspicuous, lead to no useful result. This latter...

    ALBANY Oh, dear. It's that time of year again, when black folks have to be careful with one another. A simple invitation to your tree-trimming party can find you denounced for "capitulating to the master's culture" by the most button-down, suit-and-tie brother on the block. Asking the fellow preschool parent in kente clothing to make a Kwanzaa presentation can find you stammering your apologies when he thrusts his St. Christopher medal at you like Buffy the Vampire Slayer fending off the undead. Being black in December is almost as exhausting as being so in February, when it's taken for granted...

    I'm starting to feel like Frank Gilbreth, the father in Cheaper by the Dozen. While his wife took his twelve children to church, Mr. Gilbreth sat outside smoking a cigar and reading the Sunday papers. Since the consecration of Gene Robinson, openly and actively a homosexual, as Episcopal bishop of New Hampshire, I just haven't felt much like sitting in our regular pew. A lot of Episcopalians feel the same way. The Robinson consecration marked only the latest in a long series of fallings-away by the increasingly dweebish, peevish, leftish, and -- it must be said -- gay-ish Episcopal clergy....
