Time for a new look

Ok… time for some sad news. Well… not really sad, but saddish (is that a word?).

Are you ready? Are you sure? Ok, here it goes…. I have ordered some prescription glasses! (cue screams and gaps) However, (for the record) please note that I have 20/20 vision. The doctor told me so! [...]

Sweet Youth Group – a suecess

Tear apart their altars. Smash their phallic pillars. Burn their sex-and-religion Asherah shrines. Break up their carved gods. [...]

North Korea & Nukes

Be warned, I’m going to get political here for a bit. =?
