The Nunnery (on Fox News, last night they showed some college girls visiting a nunnery.)

The girls came to the nunnery, Who selfhood had them none, To learn the life of nunnery, Which isn’t much a one. They lay upon the floor there And deemed it very nice, And dreamed of evil more there And … Continue reading

What?

“What?!” the man exclaimed, “you don’t believe in God? You don’t believe in anything?” I looked him straight in the eyes and said, “I believe in justice.” “What? That blind-folded woman who can’t see what’s going on? Come on, get … Continue reading
