An Iraqi Christian woman sits for the first church service in months during a Chaldean Catholic mass November 15, 2007 in Bagdhad, Iraq. The service was held at St. John the Baptist, a church in the neighborhood of Dora that closed earlier this year due to Islamist terrorist threats. A recent decrease in violence has allowed the Iraqi Christians to re-open the church for the first time in seven months, and the afternoon mass attracted around a hundred worshippers.

Parking Tickets in Boston
Don’t you love city government? In Boston, you can now challenge your parking ticket – but only after you pay a $275 non-refundable fee. DC’s not much better.
That Dry-Cleaning Judge Asshole
He just lost his job. Altogether now: awww.
Giuliani: Bush Squared
All the current president’s liabilities and even less experience in foreign policy. Then this dead-on description of his leadership style:
"a monarchy fortified by numerous other devoted courtiers and confidants who share one thing in common: intense loyalty…"
Anyone else, please. He makes Cheney look flexible and open-minded. He makes Clinton look transparent. And there isn’t a civil liberty he wouldn’t love to take away.

Some commenters are not amused.
Love and Divorce
A reader writes:
When you follow the link to the Christian post on the merits of divorce, the examples given are extremely black and white. Leaving a sick, abusive, or simply uninterested spouse is a no-brainer. It takes two people to make a marriage, so logically if one person emotionally opts out, there is no real marriage.
But sometimes marriages just die. In my own situation, my husband and I went through a series of major crises that we simply did not have the resources to recover from as a couple. We loved each other and wanted to stay together, but ultimately realized that we could not take care of each other. I fought very hard to keep the marriage together but in the end realized that I could not hold my partner hostage to a failed relationship. I had to let him go so he could make a new and hopefully better life for himself. When I explained this to my girlfriend (who happens to be a therapist) she commented, "That’s love."
His Supporters Pay For Their Own Ads Too
The Ron Paul Campaign is quite something isn’t it? Almost an open-source campaign. Just like the Nazis. (Hat tip: Lew Rockwell.)
The Candidate For War, War, and More War!
Faster, Rudy! Kill! Kill! Giuliani confronts the evil-doers – the traitors at home and the Islamists abroad. And, of course, Ron Paul is given equal time with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. They’re both genocidal anti-Semites, after all.
