Hey, Hillary Clinton, shut the f--- up and go away already. I voted for Clinton on Nov. 8 and thought she’d be a good president. But she lost. And she still wants us to feel bad about that. And, worse, she’s still blaming everyone else. On Tuesday at the Women for Women conference, she reminded us again what a flawed candidate she was last year — and what a flawed person she has always been.

Almost 800 babies and children were buried in a mass grave in Ireland near a home for unmarried mothers run by nuns, according to new research Wednesday which throws more light on the Irish Catholic Church's troubled past.

That was a question. Here's an answer: the woman from Alaska does other women...

Column on fathers reveals double standard Thursday, June 29, 2006 I was disappointed in Kathleen Parker’s June 18 Forum column decrying the declining status of fatherhood in American society. Her message seems to be that men are the victims of vast legions of women who are preventing men from claiming their rightful place in the lofty halls of fatherhood. At the same time, she claims that men who do decide to be fathers are performing a laudatory feat. Her arguments are blatantly contradictory. One simply cannot argue that men are victims of a conspiratorial group of single mothers bent on...
