The Obamanation of Desolation

The appearance of John McCain and Barack Obama at Saddleback, California’s "purpose-driven" church marks the ultimate ascent of Rick Warren to the Gantry-in-Chief of the P.T.

Bad Whitey 101

In this space in the June issue, readers learned about a flock of students from the American Studies program at Randolph College who flapped off to the Chicken Ranch Brothel in Nevada to study the profundities of the cathouse.

Americans are a people of deeply held religious conviction. If any has doubts, let him look on the most serious of our sacred holidays and believe.

For, unlike other federal holidays, this one carries with it a gravitas—a holiness—that says it is special. You can tell, because we don’t mark the day with fireworks and pop music, or the pardoning of a turkey, but by a singular devotion to the very words of our national religion’s founder.
