“Dog The Bounty Hunter” is back in production, and will be returning soon to a television near you.
I suspect a lot of people won’t be watching anymore though. Some people won’t watch due to his profanity-laced tirade against his son’s African-American girlfriend, which was the cause for his show being suspended in the first [...]

The Shotgun of Warm Humanitarianism
Considering that I am a humanist libertarian (which is a very strange combination, I’ll admit) that is actually a pretty good description of me.
This is pretty freaky though, considering that they don’t ask for any information at all. [...]
