But at a press conference today, Hastert stuck to generalities.
Technically, it's more like sticking to inarticulateness.
Should we conclude that ABC News shouldn't have investigated the story if they were conservative Republicans?
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Ehh, Gingrich already did just that. Hastert's just leaving it to the experts.

“I’m looking at the data,” said Ron Luce, who organized the meetings and founded Teen Mania, a 20-year-old youth ministry, “and we’ve become post-Christian America, like post-Christian Europe.

Heh. I was thinking more like "not fast enough".

Ohio is where Christian teenagers move to when they get tired of being in a minority.
