The idiotic case of Jerry Rabinowitz suing Palm Beach County because same had the bad taste to use Emmanuel Catholic Church as a polling place is another example of a hypersensitive humanist forcing the waste of tax dollars to make him feel better about his convictions (or lack of them.) Churches (and synagogues and mosques …
The Proposed Anglican Covenant: The Club Chimes In
It's impossible to resist making some comments about Responses Offered by the Executive Board and Clergy and Lay Deputations to General Convention of the Diocese of Southeast Florida to Questions contained in A Short Study Guide to Aid the Episcopal Church in Responding to the Draft Anglican Covenant as Prepared by the Covenant Design Group, …

Some issues just won’t go away
While thinking about the volleys of insults last week (both Ann Coulter's and Bill Maher's about the Vice President) we keep being haunted by the following: Above: A St. Andrew's School sophmore points out the obvious Confederate flag on the wall of a dorm room while his classmates (one American and one Bahamian) have a …
Political Correctness Resorts to Vigilante Force
It's bad enough that a federal judge has ordered a Massachusetts child to learn about the homosexual lifestyle to the end that the child will become a "productive citizen." What really hit me personally was the following: However, in April 2006 the same school presented the book "King and King," about homosexual romances and marriage, …

The Passing of Briny Breezes
There has been a lot of publicity about the apparently "done deal" concerning the sale of South Florida's most illustrious trailer park, namely Briny Breezes. The idea that people would get $US1,000,000 for a trailer has a lot of mobile home dwellers envious. But there are some important economic forces behind his as well that …

Ann Coulter’s Voting Problems Continue
Back before the election, we noted a piece in the Shiny Sheet about Ann Coulter's problems with voting in Palm Beach. At the time, we felt that this was a prosecutorial fishing expedition, politically motivated. Things keep moving somewhere with this. Now the Town of Palm Beach has thrown the investigation back to the Palm …

The Event of the Season
The Christmas/Advent season is upon us at last, complete with the culture war over replacing a Christian holiday with a secuarlist/pagan one. It's sad that it has come to that, especially since this isn't the first time that we have different religions celebrating something at the same time of year. So let's really brighten up …
Ann Coulter Finds Voting in Palm Beach Tricker Than It Looks
We cannot resist saying something about the problems that Ann Coulter is having in establishing her proper precinct to vote in in Palm Beach. First, I find the whole concept of voting at either St. Edward's Catholic Church or Bethesda-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church--where I grew up--to be an entirely fascinating concept. Second, I think that the …
