The Religion News Blog ran a story about the “Furor over French Muslim woman fined for driving veiled“. She was fined around $29 because it was alleged that the Islamic veil restricted her view while driving. This is just one of the latest stories out of France, where tensions between…
It’s a bit old, but Mike Bennett of UCG’s Forward to the Kingdom! blog posted “Some Fulfilled Prophecies”. In spite of its age, it stood out to me this week after yet another diatribe about failed prophecies from someone who really should know better. Then, of course, Robert Thiel did…

The CNN Daily yesterday mentioned that President Barak Obama is meeting with China, and one of the items on the agenda is the artificial deflation of Chinese currency. This is currency, of course, that is helping to boost up all of the spending going on of late. The reporter made…
The Telegraph posted a pic yesterday (obviously mocked up) on the article “The Vatican joins the search for alien life” which had the a caption of the Pope asking the creature from Alien if it had accepted Jesus as it’s Savior. It seems they have changed the picture caption, though….
