God v. State: Steel Cage Death Match, Loser Leaves Town!
Dennis Prager has a wonderfully insightful — and technically inciteful — column in today’s Town Hall schmeer. Do you recall that I recently contrasted Prager to Michael Medved by saying the former was sometimes profound? This is one of those times.
