Robert Jeffress, senior pastor of First Baptist Church of Dallas
Ah, bless you, Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. Because till GLAAD posted this video on its YouTube channel today, we had no idea that First Baptist Church of Dallas's Robert Jeffress was among temp host Jane Velez-Mitchell's guests on CNN's Headline News denouncing same-sex marriage during a rancorous argument over Proposition 8. (Oy, is anything on cable news not rancorous?) Among Jeffress' reasons for wanting same-s
After hosting Robert Jeffress on Friday, Harry Smith and the CBS Early Show dipped into the DFW again today -- this time to tell the story of 9-year-old Jordan Taylor, the Hillsboro boy saved by docs at Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth who reattached his head to his spine following a car accident.

First off: Happy birthday, Kirk Cameron. Hope you got something nice for your birthday -- maybe a copy of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species? Or, perhaps, a video game based on a movie in which you appeared. How about ... let's see ... Left Behind: Tribulation Forces. I know where you can get a copy: Dallas-area Walmarts, in which Inspired Media Entertainment is test-marketing sales of video games to the God-fearing; says the California-based CEO about the move into Texas Walmarts, "Th

In the press release sent out yesterday, Robert Jeffress exp
