Phil Robertson from the popular A&E show Duck Dynasty set the world ablaze this week because of his statements about homosexuals, promiscuity, and black people. His remarks concerned A&E significantly enough for them to pull him from the show indefinitely. This is what Phil Robertson said on homosexuality: Start with homosexual behavior and just morph […]

Another 9/11 anniversary is here. Predictably, my Facebook newsfeed is filled with the obligatory cheap and disposable patriotism that emerges on this day now.
