Where Is Sarah Palin’s High School Diploma?
I’m not saying it’s a fact that Sarah Palin never actually graduated from high school, but it does seem pretty strange that I’ve never seen her original high school diploma anywhere. What exactly is she hiding? Why hasn’t she made her original high school diploma available!? Palin needs to do something to put these rumors to rest. All she has to do is produce her original high school diploma....

Catholic bishops enjoyed Cory's presidency
In my obit for the dead former president, I was less than enthused about her legacy. People get carried away with Cory being a “symbol of democracy”, and failing to see that her administration was basically impotent and subservient to the power-grubbing Catholic Church.

Cory is dead
Corazon “Cory” Aquino is dead. She had done more for our country after her presidency than any time during. She was an ineffectual leader at best, and acted more as a symbol for democracy than as a president. Her blind obedience to the Catholic Church has rolled back what little success secularism has had in our country. Farewell Cory, but you will not be missed by me.

Aids surges in Philippines →
MANILA - THE UN Development Programme on Thursday said the Philippines has not done enough to curb the rise of HIV infections in this largely conservative Roman Catholic nation of 90 million people. Citing official government records, UNDP country director Renaud Meyer said that about 89 per cent of reported HIV transmissions were due to unprotected sex. ‘All the main ingredients for an...
