The Washington Post reports that as part of the bank’s TARP payback agreement, it’s quietly been given a $38 billion tax break by the IRS. Seriously. The ...

When I read and hear and watch the progressive reaction to Obama - calling him a sellout, calling health care reform a scam, calling it a bailout of the insurance industry, claiming Obama has been allying himself with Rush Limbaugh, cl ...

I’m not going to specifically talk about the strange happenings at Amazon.com over a book review, but instead about how to take criticism. To sum the afore-mentioned situation up though, when someone posted a 1-star review of a book on Amazon.com, the author began defending herself in the worst poss ...

Dr. Mike Russell from In Search Of Arete recently wrote this excellent series on higher criticism based on a question I posted on Theologica.
