Those violent pro-aborts do worse to babies inthe womb. Believe that! They are wicked, Godless, demoniacs. What to do? Still tolerating child-slaughter in the land eventhough Roe is formally dumped? What’s up sissy Christians? What did the heroesof the Civil War do about slavery? Hint: Abolition!

Yeah, it was wise of the Lord to forbid folks from talking to the dead. Think of the many failures of communication among the living! Think of the many people we overlook and fail to greet and encourage. The Lord has wisely forbidden us from conversing with the dead And charged us to speak with […]

“Ah,” said he to his lady,“We’ve both had lots of fun;You’ve been a hell of a harridan,But its time we bring it to an end.Ya know they got me and I’m goin’ to the pen,But wait for me, Dear, if you would;You know I’d be there if I could.” (Impersonal post-prison poetic pensiveness on a […]

31 March, 2023 My radio commentator on the local classical station was recounting some time when the Beatles were banned from some place as if we ought to be glad to be living in a progressive age of liberty and justice when we are above banning the Beatles. Hah! What asinine, self-reassuring hubris! Come […]

Died and went to hell, waitin’ for the “rapture.”Thought he’d wait and see that evidence And then put his faith square on the Lord. (Didn’t want to waste time with Christians and get bored.) Well, ’twas a shame it turned out such a way, That in pain he’s gonna spend many-a day And many-a night […]
