ABC Canceled GCB.  (That’s the family Friendly Disney/ABS’c short-lived controversial program about so-called Christian women who do not behave according the The Word.)  Who among us is without sin?  ABC certainly cannot claim otherwise.

Noteable Quote: Russell Kirk

February 20, 2012

September 27, 2011

The Morgan Freeman Rule can be applied to anyone who speaks in opposition to the job performance of (in this case) a black man.
