Student Urinates on Methodist Church, Tells Police 'I'm Catholic'

(Aug. 24) -- Stop me if you've heard this one. There was once a writer of the finest caliber who was also very handsome. This writer was tasked with covering the story of a Catholic college student who urinated on a Methodist church. When the student was caught by police, he told them, "I'm Catholic."

Robert Byrd: Rising Up Out of a Racist Past

Like another long-serving senator, South Carolina's Strom Thurmond, West Virginia's Robert Byrd was once an unrepentant racist. He was a member of the Ku Klux Klan and, as senator, filibustered the Civil Rights Act for 14 hours and then voted against it. In a 1945 letter, Byrd wrote of his fears that he might "see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels." In 2001, in a nationally televised interview, he used the phrase "white [n-word]." But Byrd worked hard to distance himself from his racist past, and did so (unlike Thurmond, who bolted to the GOP) within the Democrat ...

Hate Is a Word, Not a Crime

I don't dispute that the characterizations of Michelle Obama and her daughters on some conservative Web sites are odious in the extreme, but the question of how to discourage offensive statements in a civilized society is anything but settled. Who gets to decide what is or is not offensive? ...
