Jill Stein’s Ridiculous Run

By Lindsay Curren | August 29, 2016

Jill Stein President

I share many of Green Party Presidential Nominee Jill Stein's values.

Junk food for Jesus

By Lindsay Curren | August 6, 2012

Jesus at Chick-fil-A

I'm a Christian. But I wouldn't eat at Chick-fil-A even if the company's CEO were St. Francis of Assisi, Mother Theresa or Dietrich Bonhoeffer. And it's not really because I disagree with the views of the company's actual CEO about gay marriage.
