I'm just a little surprised...

One of the locals didn't try to cut his head off...
A US marine in Iraq has been removed from duty following claims that he handed out coins inscribed with biblical verses in Arabic.

A report from McClatchy News Service carried a photo of a silver coin it said had been distributed in the Iraqi city.

Written in Arabic script on one side of the coin were the words: "Where will you spend eternity?"

On the other side, the news service said there was a Bible verse referring to Jesus: "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16."
Yeah... fighting words.

Let's go after the "real haters."
"A spokesman for the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) has refused to say whether Christian moral opposition to homosexual activity constitutes a 'hate crime'."
Of course, CTV has no such qualms.
"How dare he not show up?"

LAST WORD: Well, he was just about due...

Welcome yet again, readers of Canadian Cynic... my biggest fan.

What I admire most about CC is... he's all about "the rules."
