The Marines should recall retired Captain Michael Joseph Pepe–who was convicted in federal court of having sex with pre-teen girls while working as a teacher in Cambodia–and then court-marshal him, strip him of his rank, and hand him a dishonorable discharge. He is a disgrace to the Marine Corps.

Obama Has More Preacher Issues than McCain
I’m sure that Presidential candidates look forward to pastoral endorsements just as they look forward to proctological exams. Truth be told, they probably wish ministers would drink a nice big cup of STHU and stay out of politics. No doubt John McCain had similar–even saltier–words (off camera of course) for John Hagee and Rod Parsley.

Now, it seems that his new pastoral support, Catholic priest Michael Pfleger, has also contracted foot-in-mouth disease.
