Newt Gingrich’s latest marriage is destroying the fabric of my potential divorce

By William K. Wolfrum on Mon, 05/09/2011 - 2:37pm | Politics, Humor & Satire

Coming from a conservative upbringing, I have long held strong beliefs about marriage and the commitment that comes with eventually destroying said marriage. So when I married more than seven years ago, I set out on a path to make mine the most traditional marriage and divorce as possible.

Manny Pacquiao - Floyd Mayweather dream fight means Domestic Violence charges can be ignored

By William K. Wolfrum on Sun, 05/08/2011 - 2:00pm | Sports, Media

When the stories of Michael Vick's abuse of dogs came to light, there was understandable outrage from both the public and the media. But the case also seemed to serve as a wake-up call for some sports journalists, who seemed to realize that something was amiss with their own lack of outrage over athletes who commit domestic violence against women.

Brazil Supreme Court Give Same-Sex Civil Unions Same Rights As Marriage

By William K. Wolfrum on Thu, 05/05/2011 - 6:28pm | World Affairs

Update: Currently, the STF is requesting that the Brazilian Congress pass a bill to make this the Law of the land as rights to Gay & Lesbian couples can be denied without legal ramifications. With this decision, however, Gay & Lesbian couples can sue to receive any rights denied, and would win as precedent has been set.

Submitted sans comment:

Here it is. I’m dead, and this is my last post to my blog. In advance, I asked that once my body finally shut down from the punishments of my cancer, then my family and friends publish this prepared message I wrote—the first part of the process of turning this from an active website to an archive.

Pope Blood! Get your Pope Blood!

By William K. Wolfrum on Thu, 05/05/2011 - 9:14am | Religion

In 2011, showcasing someone's blood is usually left to the likes of eccentric celebrities or psycopaths. But when it comes to religion, blood lust is not just a hobby, it's part and parcel of the whole thing. Which explains why Pope John Paul II's blood was on display at the Vatican.

By William K. Wolfrum on Tue, 05/03/2011 - 8:48am | Politics, Business

As America celebrates President Barack Obama's birth certificate as well as Osama bin Laden's new eye hole, one bit of news managed to get by that will likely have a bigger effect on the U.S. - Chrysler announced a profit:
