I'd rather be thrown out for the truth than group-hugged for a lie.
It is hard to imagine an America where women are worse off than they are after eight years of George W. Bush - but a McCain/Palin victory will absolutely take things from bad to worse.
Farrow said he thinks he will now be suspended, which means he won't be able to function as a priest -- and the Church will call for him to reverse himself and publicly apologize.
If our highest aspiration is to be a consumer with no thought or care for our neighbor, we will remain a culture in which abortion is not only inevitable but logical.
Sunday night aboard the Queen Mary, Gavin Newsom went beyond urging activism to defeat Proposition 8; he spoke of his frustration with Senator Joe Biden's agreement with Sarah Palin over same sex marriage.
The Supreme Court next week will hear a case that may allows police officers to do essentially anything unless courts have expressly told them that they couldn't.
A new study shows that all those anti-Proposition 8 advertising is working: people are supporting the initiative to ban gay marriage in California by 47% to 42%.
Palin doesn't believe that women or girls should have birth control. She believes every raped female who gets pregnant should have to carry the child to term.
Maybe one of Palin's "best friends" said something along the lines of "You know, this straight thing is okay, but I think I'm going to go with being gay, because they have it so great in this country, and everyone's so nice to them!
Last week a mix of water and sanitation experts gathered for World Water Week in Stockholm, Sweden to mull over the world's biggest public health crisis. The problem is that not enough people paid attention.
Is building a US Embassy in Baghdad the size of eighty football fields and at a cost of well more than half a BILLION dollars evidence of short- or long-term thinking?

There is no doubt that the economy will go into a depression. I now believe that we are in a recession but it is only a matter of time before the omens of the 1930s return to haunt us. It will be slow and painful, unemployment could go up by as much as 15 or 20 per cent. There will be millions without homes and rioting in the street, resulting in total social breakdown. I have heard a lot from people that there won't be a depression but they can't prove to me that this is the case. With so many of our huge companies going under - and who would have thought GM merging with Chrystler, that I can only say we must be heading for unknown territory.

All of the above. We get off oil and the thugs in the Middle East economies go to hell. 2 birds with one stone folks.
