Othodoxy and Authority Boarshead

Posted on June 23, 2008
Othodoxy and Authority Boarshead Tavern has a new Catholic contributor, so it's time to play the game of denying that there is any such thing as "orthodoxy" or arguing that a Church that is now castigated for not changing its positions on a variety of traditional Christian positions that have been abandoned by virtually all Protestant denominations couldn't be recognized as "orthodox" by

A "Practice Tip" Moment If you are looking for a "form" product liability complaint for cases involving "defective thong underwear," look no farther. I recall that Penner defended a product liability action involving a bathroom plunger, a shower and a highly improbable impalement...

"America has been raping people of color and America must pay the price." Father Michael Pfleger's comments about Hillary Clinton drew the real fire, but this excerpt is the real reason that Obama should not be elected. Pretty amazing. As Trinity's pastor pointed out, Pfleger is no stranger to Trinity...

What ever happened to the AIDS

What ever happened to the AIDS crisis? Remember AIDS? Remember how it was going to rip like a wildfire through the heterosexual population? Remember how AIDS wasn't a "gay" disease but everyone's?

From the "Nothing succeeds like success" file Victor Davis Hansen: How odd (or to be expected) that suddenly intelligence agencies, analysts, journalists, and terrorists themselves are attesting that al-Qaeda is in near ruins, that ideologically radical Islam is losing its appeal, and that terrorist incidents against Americans at home and abroad outside the war zones are at an all-time low?and

Public Service Announcement Gentlemen, Let's face it, we are self-involved. We have work, hobbies and other activities that prevent of from spending time with our wives and/or sweethearts.

Depositions Texas-style Apparently, in Texas, it's not a real deposition unless there are threats of bodily injury. In California, if I was the attorney "defending" the deposition, I think that I would pull the witness, challenge the other attorneys to file a motion to compel, and tell him that I would be attaching the video to my request for sanctions...

Freeman Dyson on Global Warming Vegetation

Posted on May 29, 2008
Freeman Dyson on Global Warming Vegetation is the dog, atmosphere is the tail, and the computer programs focus only on the atmosphere.

Earth in the Balance - ban dihydrogen monoxide now!!! This site blasts the covers away from the insidious effort to convince the public that this odorless and colorless chemical does not pose a substantial health risk. The conspiracy goes deep indeed - dihydrogen monoxide is a leading cause of global warming!!! And, yet, Al Gore remains silent!! Could it be because Gore is a DHM addict?
