I told a man I know, who is a bachelor who works as a cook, that I knew about two couples who were disputing concerning care for a newborn. In both cases, the husband and the wife agreed that the baby should have parent care. In both cases, the man wanted to stay home...
The image of eleven-year old Jamison Stone of Alabama, posing with a 1,051 pound hog that he killed, is a hit on the Internet and on TV.  Jamison has been enjoying his 15-minutes of fame, doing the requisite morning network shows.

Barring any last-minute outbreak of war, I will debate Lis Wiehl on Friday, June 1st, at 4PM ET, on FNC’s Your World with Neil Cavuto. If you haven’t heard, Alex Rodriguez (A-Rod), of the NY Yankees, was spotted in Toronto with a busty blonde -- not his wife. Besides becoming an...

Did you know there’s industrialized life on Mars and Neptune? There has to be. Recent reports show that global warming is on the rise dramatically on Neptune, and ice caps are melting on Mars. There must be relatively intelligent but ecologically stupid life on these planets flying jets, driving SUV’s and using aerosol hairspray. As...

The International Relations Center describes Linda Chavez as “George W. Bush’s first choice for labor secretary, Linda Chavez is a right-wing pundit, anti-union demagogue, and foreign policy hawk.

Among the major candidates for President of the United States in 2008 are an African-American, an Italian-American, a woman, and a Mormon. Isn’t this a great time to be alive?
By my reckoning, the United States officially became a matriarchy on January 20, 1993. That’s the day Hillary Clinton moved into the West Wing. Soon she prevailed on Bill to establish the President’s Interagency Council on Women, the group that railroaded feminist-inspired policies and programs throughout the federal government.  Matriarchy refers to a...
More than any other single person, Jerry Falwell was the embodiment and single most recognizable icon of the Religious Right. However, the association is even deeper than that. In many respects, Jerry Falwell was the heart and soul of the Religious Right, which is why many people hated him so much. They fully understood...
As the Associated Press article on the Gilberta Estrada murders notes, in recent years there has been a spate of Texas women murdering their children, and not one was held criminally culpable for her actions: In 2004, Dena Schlosser fatally severed her 10-month-old daughter's arms with a kitchen knife. In 2003, Deanna Laney beat her two young...
Gilberta Estrada hung her four small daughters, three of whom died--and it's her ex-boyfriend's fault?!

It is believed that Gilberta Estrada hanged herself-after hanging her four young daughters first....
When it comes to attention-grabbing and guffaw-inducing headlines, it’s hard to beat the following which appeared recently in the Arab News: “Islamophobia Worst Form of Terrorism.” That’s right. Forget about skyscrapers full of thousands of innocent people crashing to the ground, compliments of Islamic terrorists. Or the slaughter of Russian school children by Islamic...
Self-Destruction Theater America has a penchant for needless, round-the-clock coverage of center-stage performances at the Self-Destruction Theater, whose currently departing castmembers are Paris Hilton and Rosie O’Donnell. Paris is a week away from serving a jail sentence for violating her DUI probation; ABC/Disney just canned Rosie from The View for once too often shooting off...
Back when it was illegal to be in the country illegally, none of this would have made sense. But now that we’ve grown accustomed to complete buffoonery and counter-productive bone-headedness coming from Washington, this isn’t really much of a surprise: The Bush administration will announce increases in immigration application fees today that will double the...
Ripping off old folks, but for a good cause A relative has been in the hospital, and then rehab at a nursing home, for a couple of months. The other day I took the 90-year-old over to his house. We weren’t there for a minute when the phone rang. It was a telemarketer. In...
One frailty of man is that he is very adept at finding excuses to justify laziness and irresponsibility. There’s no point helping people because everyone is just out for himself anyway. Why study or work? I mean, no one is going to give me a break. I won’t take care of myself because you’ve...
As I've noted on many occasions, the domestic violence establishment is not telling us the full truth about domestic violence, and many destructive family law and criminal law policies have been based on misinformation.
