Football Coach Suspended for Midfield Prayer Files Discrimination Complaint
One coach prayed to God. Another coach chanted to Buddha. But only one got punished — the Christian coach. Joe Kennedy, a beloved assistant football coach in Bremerton, Washington, was suspended on Oct. 28 after he refused to stop his post-game prayers at the 50-yard line.

A Near-Debt Experience
America's debt problems are enough to keep people up at night — and [Thursday], they did! While the rest of the country was counting sheep, Congress was counting votes on a controversial budget deal that finally passed in the wee hours of Friday morning. At 3:12 a.m., with the government's credit completely maxed out, the Senate gave its approval to a deal that John Boehner hatched as one of his last acts as speaker.
The Man of the House
Plenty of important things happened in 1869 — Ulysses S. Grant was inaugurated, the first college football game was held, even *War and Peace* was published.

Of course, what the former VP candidate lacks in age, he more than makes up for in experience. As the Washington Post points out, he's logged 6,143 days in the House (only 1,000 less than John Boehner) — and he'll need every bit of that practice to help pull Republicans out of the mire they find themselves in.

Football Coach Refuses to Lose Religion, but Will He Lose His Job?
The Washington state football coach defied the Bremerton School District on Oct. 16 by dropping to a knee and praying at midfield after the Friday night football game. "I'm going to be bold in my faith, and fight the good fight," he told the Kitsap Sun. "It's beyond humbling to have so much support. Whatever happens, happens."
Football Coach Says He Will Defy School's Prayer Ban
There's a scene in the great football film "Facing the Giants" when the coach decides to implement a new coaching philosophy — to praise God no matter what the result.
