Washington, DC -- A new report indicates that Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion business, has increased the number of centers that do abortions. The report indicates Planned Parenthood is increasingly relying on the dangerous mifepristone (RU 486) abortion drug.

Newly released academic research suggests that Sarah Palin's sexiness, while great for selling copies of Vogue magazine and political buttons about the hottest governor from the coldest state last fall, may actually have hurt her vote-getting ability, which seems to be what elections are all about. The research, conducted by a psychologists at the University of South Florida actually confirms the findings of other studies that shows that beautiful women have a hard time being taken seriously in the work place. Just how did the researchers arrive at the conclusion that Palin's good looks turned out to be more of...

Nancy-Ann Min DeParle, who President Obama appointed as director of the White House Office of Health Care Reform on Monday, took home at least $2.4 million in 2006 and 2007 from serving on the corporate boards of health-care companies whose businesses she would be in a position to affect in her new position. Read on.

President Obama issued another dire warning about the economy when he delivered his prime-time speech to a joint session of Congress Tuesday night. It was essentially the same negative assessment he has been giving for weeks—but with a difference. Now that his economic stimulus package has become law, Obama realizes it's time to boost consumer confidence as much as possible. So, he tried the Big Pivot—shifting from an emphasis on gloom and doom and, finally, taking a more upbeat view of the future. "We will rebuild. We will recover. And the United States of America will emerge stronger than before,"...

Michael Steele should resign as Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman, according to a committee member from North Carolina. In an e-mail to fellow RNC members obtained by The Hill, Dr. Ada Fisher, North Carolina's national committeewoman, said Steele is "eroding confidence" in the GOP and that members of his transition team should encourage him to step aside. Fisher added Steele's personal e-mail address to the e-mail. "I don't want to hear anymore [sic] language trying to be cool about the bling in the stimulus package or appealing to D.L. Hughley and blacks in a way that isn't going to win...

Here is Joe Scarborough this morning on Morning Joe saying that Republicans are now learning from Michael Steele's missteps in comments about Rush Limbaugh that "sometimes being black is not enough." Scarborough made the remark after a clip from last night's Sean Hannity Show was shown in which Steele said he was not attacking Rush Limbaugh when he called him an "entertainer" and said his remarks were "incendiary" and "ugly." . . . . . .

Transparency & openness was just another lie to pacify the stupid fools that voted for our illustrious leader. And as far as change goes...change means socialism instead of democracy. And as far as accountability goes, it is obvious that our illustrious leader is only accountable to George Soros and the lunatic left!

There's a reason White House aides have dubbed conservative radio ranter Rush Limbaugh the new face of the GOP - polls showed he's a big, fat target of opportunity. Only a tiny fraction of voters younger than 40-11%--have a positive view of the talk king, a survey James Carville and other Democratic advisers to President Obama took last fall found. That - combined with Limbaugh's more recent wish to see Obama "fail"--was all the White House needed to launch its coordinated campaign this week to cast Limbaugh as the hydra-headed leader of the temporarily headless GOP. "Who in the Republican...

What on earth could draw a crowd of men like you see pictured above? (No, it's not a diaconate ordination in Santa Barbara -- though it's close.) It's just a typical rally of the Holy Name Society for the Archdiocese of New York in 1936. As Dr. McNamara points out: Founded by the Dominicans in the thirteenth century to venerate the name of Jesus, the Holy Name Society was introduced to the United States in the 1860’s. By the 1950’s there were over two thousand societies in the United States, and it was common for most men in the parish...

Bethany House of Northern Virginia is an abuse shelter that provides "warmth and shelter" to persons suffering from domestic violence — at least that's what the group claims. But now a former shelter worker, client, husband, and a sitting judge have all come forward to reveal a sordid tale of unethical and illegal conduct. The first bombshell hit in 2004 when a former shelter volunteer filed a three-page letter of complaint. Alleging the staff was "enraged with a bottomless pit of anger at men," she charged the shelter admitted women who had never suffered physical abuse, indoctrinated them into feminist...

They will see your Bush Derangement Syndrome and raise it. The idiotic controversy surrounding claims that President Obama is not a “natural-born citizen” and has forged and concealed birth documents in Hawaii that would expose his alleged foreign birth refuses to die. Even though both the campaign and the Hawaii Secretary of State have released documents that refute claims that Obama was born somewhere other than Hawaii, some members of the conspiracy-minded right find the issue to be a useful outlet for their anti-Obama crusade.

BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - In an effort to reduce the church's political influence, Argentine atheists and feminists are spearheading a drive to get people who were baptized Roman Catholic but disagree with the church's politics to formally renounce their faith. The "Not in my Name" Internet campaign, also called Collective Apostasy, encourages people who are Catholic in name only to write to the bishops where they were baptized to officially register that they have left the church. Latin America is home to about half of the world's Roman Catholics but many people who were baptized Catholic do not practice the...

In an hour I will be getting a call from a reporter at a major weekly news magazine.  He emailed me last night asking if he could ask some questions about why the GOP leadership had said so little against the nomination of a pro-abortion Catholic governor, Kathleen Sebelius, to head the Department of Health and Human Resources.  A very good question!  After all, isn't it the Republican Party that has a right-to-life plank? Isn't it the Republican Party that sells itself under a "pro-life, pro-family" banner?With the exception of Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) and Sen. Jim De Mint (R-SC) there has...

Newly released academic research suggests that Sarah Palin's sexiness, while great for selling copies of Vogue magazine and political buttons about the hottest governor from the coldest state last fall, may actually have hurt her vote-getting ability, which seems to be what elections are about. Of course, standing next to John McCain is bound to make pretty much anyone look pretty much prettier. Which may be one reason the crowds often chanted "Sar-RAH! Sa-RAH!" when the Republican governor and Republican senator appeared together as the GOP presidential ticket.
