The Thief
Le Voleur is French for the Thief. In 1828, during the birth and rise of the newspaper, Emile de Girardin had a novel idea on how to use the newest writing technology, the printing press. He and a friend decided to start a periodical, but since they lacked capital, the weekly was entitled Le Voleur (The Thief) and it reprinted the best articles that had appeared elsewhere during the week, saving editorial costs.

One Nation Indivisible Under God
Turns out religion gains strength when the people are afraid, as if salvation is inherent with the utterance of a few cheaply constructed words in the form of a prayer. Commies, unionists, and terrorists seem to have done more work for God than Falwell, Frist, and Perkins combined. These 'prophets' are reactionaries. Reacting to nothing more than a fear based on a narrow interpretation of reality. This website does a good job describing the history of "one nation under god" and "in god we trust". As a rule the state is increasingly intertwined with religion. To all the bloggers I ask that you fight this with words, and with my favorite thing-- complaining.
