Here we go again. Is there no limit to the willful ignorance that manifests itself on these pages? If the writers who routinely berate Charley Reese for his studied sympathies ever stop scouring the Internet for imaginary jihads, we’ll all be better off. Do us a big favor and stick to researching dubious medical remedies; …

Out of Egypt
Ms. Rice, Thank you. I just finished reading the paperback version of your novel [Christ the Lord – Out of Egypt]. I immediately detected a Catholic flavor to your tale, which is OK.

Open letter to Mike Huckabee
I saw you on TV a few weeks ago (June 20 on MSNBC) when Joe Scarborough asked you what books you are reading.

Beyond Iraq?
Gov. Huckabee, Thank you for taking time to respond to my concerns re. your position on the war in Iraq. I saw you this morning on MSNBC and when asked what you are currently reading, you mentioned “Beyond Iraq” by Mike Evans. Very disappointing. An excerpt from Publishers Weekly says this: With the Bible’s various …
