'Warcraft' Sequel Lets Gamers Play A Character Playing 'Warcraft'

Two weeks ago, the DIAtribe picked the brain of Owen Henkel at the Center for Constitutional Rights on the hit Send Bush a Copy of the Constitution action they've been running.

So, after everyone clicks-here-to-take-action, what happens? Did they actually deliver all the Constitutions?

They only seem small until they seem big.

Nearly 2,500 years ago (reference Ezekiel 38:7), God directed the ancient nation of Gog (modern day Russia) to be a guardian over Persia (modern day Iran) in the last days.

it appears to be fairly widespread, which is causing me great anxiety :-)

Sorry! Living with my girl is to be preferred! (We are gretting Married!)

With the help of millions of links pointing to action pages in the democracyinaction.org domain, this blog is a search gorilla in spite of its unprepossessing traffic.

You'll find us cropping up at the oddest times, like (and these are all actual searches in the past few weeks) ...
