Call to action on gun violence
December 27th, 2011 Greg Laden From Dennis Henigan: Some would suggest that American gun violence is an intractable scourge, with obstacles to progress that are just too high and too numerous.

The video Peter Fincham does not want you to see.
December 22nd, 2011 Greg Laden Who the F%#K is Peter Fincham? Nobody knows, nobody cares. All you need to know is that he used to work as director of television for some TV show1, saw the following video, and used his big fat power trip to make sure it was not shown because it insults The Lord Savior Jesus H.
