The Catholic Church continues to Respond Theologian Nancy Pelosi [by William D. Zeranski] Since Nancy Pelosi injected religion into Abortion politics by making erroneous remarks about Catholic teaching, the Church continues to respond -- sharply.

The Unspoken Campaign Message of Obama

nobody@vox.com(angelo) — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 12:03:15 -0300

It follows the teachings of Saul Alinksy, and it can be summed up easily: I will do anything to win.

Elf and Faerie : The development of Elves in Tolkien's Mythology

nobody@vox.com(angelo) — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 22:28:55 -0300
