Get the world’s best reporting without leaving the womb-like confines of MySpace!” Am I supposed to be happy that Myspace is womb-like? *sideways glance* It Takes an Eagle Scout … to Protect Faith in the People’s House – HUMAN EVENTS This is a fascinating story about the government trying to take God out of our history.
