Fetid Dingoes’ Kidneys

I need a moment to offer a bit of perspective. Anyone who reads this blog may very easily get the impression that I’m a bitter, bothered, joyless curmudgeon who goes to great lengths and takes great pleasure to find the very worst in the church(es) and blog about them. If you’re one of them, I understand where you’re coming from. Having reread much of what I’ve lately written, I get where you’re coming from.

Officials in Littleton, CO, are receiving a bit of flack for their decision to erect a memorial statue to a fallen Navy SEAL.
