I’m stunned by the news in New Orleans and frankly, I think what I’ve heard on the national news is downplaying the tragedy not understanding the sheer enormity of what is happening. This isn’t a storm story with anecdotal stories of bad things happening, but an unfolding disaster still in New Orleans. Either tonight or […]

Fred Phelps further demonstrates his worldliness by claiming he’s going to picket the King of Sweden in Stockholm on Labor Day (link offensive). Of course, in Sweden that’d just be September 5 because they celebrate May Day. Now those who have followed Dipnuts and family know he can’t afford to get to Stockholm so this […]
