I wonder if all the people braying about the "war on Christianity" might raise some objections if it were a *Democratic* administration who had its armed thugs shooting priests in the head with pepper balls and waiting outside Catholic Churches to disappear parishioners?

Indeed. Although 40 years ago I probably could have run through that huge hole to score.

Good evening from East Tennessee. Two of my favorite vintage photos.

Then Milo and Maggie preparing for their night watch, from five years ago.

We miss them dearly.
