One Million Moms Urges Toys ‘R’ Us to Remove Archie Comic on Gay Marriage

By Jason Boog on February 28, 2012 10:01 PM

The conservative group One Million Moms is urging Toys ‘R’ Us to stop stocking an Archie Comics issue that features a gay wedding.

In issue 16 of the Life with Archie series, Kevin Keller, Archie Comics’ first openly gay character, gets married to his boyfriend. One Million Moms has created a form letter for parents to email to the toy store.

Review of Curb Check by Zach Fortier

This is a book for those who love True Crime, Cop on the Beat stories. It gives you a bird’s eye view (or should I say a hidden camera view?) as a Cop makes his rounds.

Exciting, scary, sad and sometimes darn right funny, Fortier recounts some of the calls he was on when a Constable On Patrol (Cop).

Dare I say without having been a cop, that this book could be used by anyone who wants to be a real cop, one who is ready to serve the people and be more than someone carrying a gun…

Review of Cherries by John Podlaski

Whether you've had the experience of going to war, which far too many American citizens have, or have stayed cleared of that ugly business, Cherries is a book that will ring true in many ways. It is a story of the Vietnam War, told by a “grunt” on the front lines. It successfully captures the way it must have been when groups of young males were thrown together, largely against their will, and put into an incredibly hostile environment.

Cherries makes a pretty clear statement that…

The Molly Lake Chronicles, Book Two: Barely Afloat by Samuel Endicott

What I truly loved about this book was that Endicott doesn’t leave out a single aspect of the growing conflict. We have the angry colonists who think the new tax requirements are excessive and unfair, the English patriots in the colonies who think the dissenters are simply ungrateful, the short-tempered Royal Governor who started out with good ideals and then lost his way, the British tax collectors who will do anything to make money and gain the Governor’s favour, the French paladins who…

How to get anything you want – Just Like That! by Janet Poole

The power of positive thinking, changing attitudes, embracing your inner strength, seizing control over your life, not letting others dictate your productivity or happiness; these and many more are the themes of “How to get anything you want”. Poole builds on concepts designed to help the reader recognize those situations and inner barriers that hinder a person from progressing, or better said, from achieving their desires and goals. The book provides insight into what may be issues in your…

Review of Altered by Laura Burks

Laura Burks’ first novel Altered is a captivating bundle of mystery, suspense, and forbidden love. I would definitely recommend this book for young teenage girls, typically from ages 14-16 (especially if they also enjoy the book series Twilight).

The intricate story begins very interestingly. Jenna Larson, the protagonist of the novel, hears a mysterious voice whisper her name. Right from the beginning, the book has already captured your interest. Readers will wonder, what voice? Who…

Review of The Laird of Loch Fyne by Brandy Grandberg

Earlier this year, I toured the Mull of Kintyre in Scotland and stopping in Inverary, experienced Loch Fyne for myself. What a wonderful coincidence to read The Laird of Loch Fyne so soon after the experience.

Unsuspecting Maggie Harris has a time travel experience that brings her face to face with the sixteenth century Laird of Loch Fyne. Being a fan of Renaissance fairs and Scottish history, Maggie quickly realizes her predicament but doesn’t yet realize it is 1593. Ian MacLachlan,…

Review of Jackie O On the Couch by Alma H. Bond

Jackie Kennedy Onassis is a well-known person. She was a first lady, married to the famous president, John F. Kennedy. She lived a hard life, which includes tragic events such as losing her husband and other family members through assassinations. This is her story, a biography of sorts, fictionalized, written in first person, journal-style. The words and thoughts expressed in this book may be ones she actually used.

The book has an index and a bibliography, so I am assuming that…

Review of You are Everything Everything is You by Michele Doucette

You are Everything Everything is You is a compilation of the works of several spiritual authors. Michele Doucette is an excellent researcher as is reflected in the complex content and unique perspectives covered in this book.

The works of Gregg Braden, Paul J. Steinhardt, physicist, Anthony Duchene, Michael Sky, Dr. Masaru Emoto and dozens of others are included in this work. Although convincing evidence, the text seems tedious and repetitious at times, however the message is the same…

Review of FLAWED PERFECTION by RAY SPENGLER

FLAWED PERFECTION: Is that an absolutely compelling title or what? Well, I’ll tell you this: it certainly hooked me. With that, and having previously read and reviewed a couple of other Ray Spengler novels, I anxiously plunged in. Starting with ominous overtones, it takes a while to get into it because there are lots of seemingly unconnected characters and an intricate, multi-layered plot, but eventually it all knits together nicely. Trust me. Like his other books, this one excels in two…
