Fellow evangelicals, we have been Pintoed.

In the early 1970s Ford faced a choice.  They could retool the Pinto to make it a safe car, or they could pay legal fees and settlement costs associated with wrongful death lawsuits.  They decided it would be cheaper to pay legal fees, so the decision was made to do nothing regarding safety upgrades.

Hillary Clinton's fifteen minutes of fame have expired. And like an infamous American historical figure, her income taxes are her undoing.  Ever since Bill Clinton's presidential campaign and election in 1992, there have been dark clouds swirling around the Clinton's finances.

The issue's most recent roots can be traced to the summer of 2007.
