J-Phil! (Whoops, are we not doing that anymore? Dang...)

It's too bad we have to celebrate someone's taking a positive stand for fatherhood and relationships. My wife and I are blessed with two teenage boys (yes, I said "blessed"!), and while they stumble regularly on their respective courts, fields and mats (wrestling), they know their parents love them, and that their athletic endeavors are nothing more than diversions -- worthwhile, certainly -- along the path to what really matters: religion, education, music, relationships.

Sounds like you're blessed with good kids -- and your boys are blessed with good parents. Continue the rocking!

Thank heavens for global warming... We would be SO COLD right now without it!

Everything I needed to know about gender studies I learned in kindergarten: If you make a girl laugh, you can ride a happy wave for life; if you make a girl cry, you (and she) may never recover....

Leonard, don't show yourself to be an ass by leaving something like that....

Stick to the issues. Don't "Dem us down."

Spot-on piece, Mr. Phillips.

Open forum moment! How 'bout any time we can use a the left's clichés against them, we get LTR ("liberal tripe reversal") points? For example:

Posters are &lt;LCR&gt;intellectually dishonest&lt;/lcr&gt; when they use "government" interchangeably with "people." To wit, government didn't prevent a redefinition of marriage; the people voted on it. (1 pt.) In fact, it's been said, <LTR>"We won, you lost; get over it."</ltr> (1 pt.)

Anyone?
