Freelance writer, printing guru, comic book publisher, and frequently opinionated blogger Tony Smith lives in a cozy apartment in the suburbs of Philadelphia with his partner and their Superbeagle Molly. Unfortunately, he hasn't had a real firm grasp on reality since he was six-years old. And, when he does have a grasp on it, he tends to behave like a six-year-old.

In addition to his own self-published comic book ventures, Tony has also written for Prism Comics, Fan-Atic Press and Twisted Gate Entertainment. He's currently hard at work trying to impress an editor at a major comic book company and not opposed to offering bribes if need be.

Tony has also recently gotten into blogging and article writing because funny books just aren't paying the rent. If there's a way to make a citizen's arrest with words, he's going to try and find it.

1 of 2

While Tammy Faye Messner (formerly Bakker) is best remembered for her extravagant make-up and unfortunate choice of first husbands, there were other facets of her life that are frequently over looked. For one thing, Tammy Faye was an outspoken supporter of the gay community - something that is considered an abomination by most Evangelical Christians.

During Tammy's final interview on Larry King Live, Jimmy from Sherman Oaks, CA, asked the emaciated Tammy Faye, "Unlike many of your Christian contemporaries, you have been a very positive influence in the gay community. Why do you think yo...
