CHARLES HURT: Jeb Bush trades on name, meets European leaders

Not since Clark Griswold took his family on a European vacation have we seen such goofy antics.

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the longest-running Southern Gothic soap opera in American history!

CHARLES HURT: Evolution and allegiance to the Church of Global Warming

It is such a high, blessed relief to finally get to the bottom of the most pressing issue here in this age of $17 trillion U.S. debt, barbaric animals burning humans alive in cages, the systematic rounding up, rape and mutilation of young girls around the world and all these inconvenient blizzards and bone-chilling winds blowing giant holes in our faith in the newly founded Church of Global Warming.
