Christian Group Accused of Columbine Tactics by Former Reagan Aide

A Christian organization is accused of Columbine tactics as they are viewed to be desiring the demise of a former Reagan White House official who accused them of wanting his end through prayer.




Mikey Weinstein, founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, said he wants Gordon Klingenschmitt, a former U.S. Navy chaplain, to "stop asking Jesus to plunder my fields ... seize my assets, kill me and my family then wipe away our descendants for 10 generations."

The suit also asks the court to stop the defendants – Klingenschmitt and Jim Ammerman, the founders of the Chaplaincy of Full Gospel Churches – from "encouraging, soliciting, directing, abetting or attempting to induce others to engage in similar conduct."

Such vicious tactics need to come to an immediate end! Or should they? With the state of this country's economy and moral fiber, surely we can find something better to entice the court systems with.


Weinstein, who is Jewish, said his family has received death threats, had a swastika daubed on their home, and feces thrown at the house. He said the harassment started several years ago when he began protesting Christian proselytizing at his alma mater, the Air Force Academy.

Stephanie Birkitt Scandal With David Letterman, How Much is Too Much with Photos/Video



All over the media today, the talk has centered around a new scandal involving CBS late night host David Letterman and the affair he allegedly had with a staffer named Stephanie Birkitt.

Photos and videos of Birkitt have been plastered all over the news (an example from Daily Mail seen above), and for a case where the privacy of an individual who did not necessarily want to be part of a global media circus is being trampled upon.

You have to feel sorry for the young lady in this case and Letterman's apology on the issue really did seem half-hearted.

David Letterman Scandal Still Looms, Plagues CBS

Chuckles were not a part of the CBS Late Night with David Letterman routine, as the belabored late night host apologized to all his female staff after his Monday show.

"Let me tell you folks, I got my work cut out for me," Letterman said. Always an agent of humor though, no matter how potentially ill-placed, the host could not resist adding a bit more to his 'apology'.

"I mean, I'll be honest with you folks -- right now, I would give anything to be hiking on the Appalachian Trail," Letterman quipped.

"I got into the car this morning and the navigation lady wasn't speaking to me. Ouch."

Ouch, indeed. Several media and interest groups have lobbied for CBS to take punitive actions against Letterman, who also has indicated that he will have some issues to work out with his wife after his admission.

After getting all of his antics off his belly, Letterman did turn to a more serious note and directly address the female staffer who he apparently made reference to during his admission.

"She has been horribly hurt by my behavior ... and when something happens like that, if you hurt a person and it's your responsibility, you try to fix it."

The question is will there be a way for Letterman to fix this situation or will it permanently mar his reputation as a simple source of friendly, at time bitey, entertainment. Only time will tell.

Wondering About Monday Night Football Start Time

For those of you wondering about the start time for this week's Monday night football game between the Green Bay Packers and the Minnesota Vikings, you had better quickly find a radio or spare tv. The game is in progress!

So far it's been rather thrilling, with the Packers trailing the Vikings by a margin of 28 to 14 in the third quarter. Long gone are the days when the grizzled manbeard of Brett Favre could be expected to bring the Packers back from any margin, so cheeseheads, you may start to count this game as curdled because the Vikings will most likly hang on for victory.

No gold for Chicago

No laurels for Chicago as President Obama was unable to convince folks in Copenhagen to give the U.S. city a second round spot at olympic gold. In spite of the jobless rate in America Chicago residents will not be able to count on the euros to beef their economy. Looks like the choice may come to Rio or Madrid. Think I'll have a Diet-Coke.
