This time their focus is on the Consumer Federal Protection Agency, or CFPA, an organization that does not even yet exist. The goal of the CFPA [...]

For a long time I have avoided discussing this issue publicly. While I am certainly just one voice, I wanted to give Verizon Wireless the chance to do right by me without my having to tell the world my experiences. They have opted to do the wrong thing and now let me tell you all [...]

See now, people like this guy are why it is so easy for Atheists to dismiss my faith.

Update:The plane has landed safely and the man was arrested by local police. It does not say if he had explosives of any kind on his person or if any were found aboard the plane. I have a hard time believing this was a coincidence. What the hell is going on? As of now the reports are [...]

Alright. Now I’m pissed. I’m going to tell you all a short story. My mother used to fly for her boss. She would fly across the country, do some menial task, and fly home. This usually involved hand delivering documents, attending some sales pitch to take notes, or (occasionally) making some sales pitch. She loved that [...]
