The San Fran Chron, man. According to their sources, 120 Iraq/Iran vets off themselves weekly. Dude! Bob Owens does the math. If one veteran of the wars kills himself weekly, it’s a tragedy. These morons have turned it into a farce, though there are those who are so eager for this to be true, they’ll actually print such a fable and believe.

Own a Contemporary Religious Relic [Dan Collins; UPDATED]
Behold! The Holy Waffle of Glider. Monstrance sold separately. (h/t Hot Air) More: When rapture goes wrong. Searchers scanned the waters off Brazil’s southern Atlantic coast on Tuesday for a Roman Catholic priest who disappeared after floating into the sky under hundreds of helium party balloons. Rescuers in helicopters and small fishing boats spent a second day seeking signs of the Rev. Adelir Antonio de Carli, said the treasurer of

Dragon-Slayer Banished [Dan Collins]
Apparently, Muslims are great defenders of dragons. Who knew that they were acting in concert with PETA? In 2006 Church of England officials contemplated giving Saint George the boot from his perch as Patron Saint of England because he was too offensive for modern day Muslims. Now, British officials have cancelled an annual St. George’s Day Parade in Bradford in fear that Muslims will riot. Many of the youngsters had already
