From the Trailer Park — 50/50

There is a lot of potential here… but I’m assuming that there will be a lot of talk about death and zero talk about what comes after… so while funny and life-affirming on its face it will have nothing redeeming to say about having cancer. It doesn’t have to be a Christian message of [...]

THE Tattoo U

Though a few months late (and with mounting evidence making it inevitable) Ohio State seems to have tired of defending the indefensible.

For more than a decade, Ohioans have viewed Tressel as a pillar of rectitude, and have disregarded or made excuses for the allegations and scandal that have quietly followed him throughout his [...]
