Why Drew Brees Can’t Marry Sir Saint ©2014 Mike Church Mandeville, LA - (With my apologies to Drew Brees, i do not mean any insinuation by the provacative title of this piece, sorry, Drew.) Just when you thought the government was going to issue an edict to destroy all wedding cake decorations that did not feature Peter marrying Paul and Catherine marrying Margaret, federal judge Martin Feldman goes and makes […]
Mary Landrieu, More Tourist Than Inhabitant ©2014 Mike Church Mandeville, LA - When the Constitution was ratified in 1788, the qualifications for office were spelled out and immediately became a subject of controversy. In 1794, PA had selected Albert Gallatin as one of its U.S. Senators, when Gallatin arrived to take his seat he was told he could not because he was not a proper citizen of PA or any other of the United States. Even though Gallatin had been […]
Church Doctrine-Girls Demand Dress Code Like Their Immodest Mothers ©2014 Mike Church Long-gone are the halcyon, back to school days where the biggest worry was if last year’s pencil sharpener would still work. Today’s parents now have to choose between the sex-ed of the kama sutra or the Kardashians; whether or not they dare toss a Twinkie in a lunch box and whether or not their daughters are dressed provocatively […]
The Irreverence of “On Any Given Sunday” ©2014 Mike Church Mandeville, LA - Most people probably watched President Obama address the grisly, inhuman murder of journalist James Foley and approved of the President’s promise to “seek justice” against ISIL because it sounded pretty tough.

There’s No Equality In A Riot ©2014 Mike Church “Cop Kills Young Man” is becoming an all too frequent headline that should double as a reminder of an all too-real failure. Last Saturday 18 year old Michael Brown was shot dead by a Ferguson MO police officer. The events surrounding the shooting remain foggy at best but we have no doubt as to what happened next. Businesses have been burned […]
Mandeville LA - When a Federal executioner induced lethal injections to OK City bomber Timothy McVeigh, had he chose to, McVeigh could have invoked the 8th Amendment’s prohibition against “cruel and unusual punishments”. Yesterday, Arizona executed Joseph Rudolph Wood for the brutal, 1989 murders of Gene and Debbie Deitz. Jeanne Brown, daughter of Gene and sister of Debbie attended Wood’s execution, as did a “witness” for the AP who reported the […]
Mandeville LA - Some people are determined to be vulnerable to the adage “[t]here is a sucker born every minute”1 and you can find millions of them in any public meeting discussing “the environment”. This is because of the hysteria brought to the subject by the tree-hugging, frog-licking friends of Al Gore. 25 years ago, Gore and his Cassandra-like apostles warned of a human race exterminated by skin cancer if we didn’t […]
