I logged in last night about 4:30 only to see – to my horror and amazement – that angryxtian got a featured spot on WordPress’ homepage for his “Why Liberals Don’T Believe in GOD” post.

Who is more evil? Let’s meet our contenders before the smackdown begins.

Al Capone:

Alphonse “Scarface” Capone is a notorious gangster from the Prohibition era who is best known for his huge bootlegging business and for the Valentine’s Day Massacre, where he had his men dress as police men, line up his enemies against a wall, and [...]

I apologize for the relative lack of posting lately and also for this being my second post of in a row with a Christopher Hitchens video in it, but I just really love the guy. He is cutting, witty, and a devestating debater who is currently my favorite writer.
This is an “In Depth” interview on [...]
