Life For A 21-Year-Old In Homs, Syria
newsweek: This is happening: Maras, 21, awoke yesterday morning at 6:00 a.m. to the sound of bombs falling on his neighborhood. In his world, the Bab Amro neighborhood of Homs in central Syria, this was not the part of his day that shocked him most. This was how it had been for the past six days, he said, bursts of gunfire and shelling booming through the streets every half hour or so in the...

“We’re not into polls. We’re into principles.”
– New York Archbishop TIMOTHY DOLAN, responding to CBS This Morning host Charlie Rose, who pointed out that polls show a majority of Catholic women use contraception. Dolan then referenced a poll that showed Americans “supported religious freedom.” Denial of biblical proportions.

Obama's "Controversial" Birth Control Rule On... →
President Barack Obama’s decision to require most employers to cover birth control and insurers to offer it at no cost has created a firestorm of controversy.

This point has been completely lost in the current controversy, as Republican presidential candidates and social...

mrsbadkrumble asked: I actually disagree. I think that, while he was framing his argument in regards to telling private companies what to do, his general attitude made clear that he thinks it's ridiculous. He called it a "witch hunt." That's a pretty charged statement.
