I am Christine O’Donnell. It’s been a busy week being you. Goodness, I never realized there were so MANY of you to be! Sometimes I wish I could just wave my magic wand and… Oh, wait. Nevermind. Before my big debatey thing with Chris (“girly pants“) Coons last week, I reached into my back pocket and realized there was this […]

Sure, they were allowed to do it. But that doesn’t make it right. It turns out that after Timothy McVeigh who was raised Catholic destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, the Catholic church had the audacity to build a statue right across the street! Yes, you read that right. McVeigh took the lives of 168 innocent people including 19 […]
