A study has found that women who use the 'silent treatment' with their spouses during arguments could be on their way to early deaths. "This is the first time we've seen anything this dramatic that predicts death or heart disease that's not physiological," Dr. Elaine Eaker, who authored the study, told CTV's Canada AM. The study found that women who silenced themselves during marital disagreements were four times more likely to die earlier than women who expressed their feelings during arguments with their spouses. However, Eaker found that the health of men who indulged in the same "self-silencing" practice were...

Rosie O'Donnell on 'The View' Makes Elisabeth Hasselbeck Cry By Jo Anne Way Sep 19, 2006 Bombastic Rosie O'Donnell has recently been hammered as a bigot for her comments on 'The View' that were incendiary towards Christians. And now a report from the New York Daily News claims that she's making Elisabeth Hasselbeck cry. Rosie O'Donnell on 'The View' Makes Elisabeth Hasselbeck Cry Rosie O'Donnell on 'The View' Makes Elisabeth Hasselbeck Cry Oh the humanity! O'Donnell said during some sort of discussion, "Radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam in a country like America." *** That brought strong...

Rosie O’Donnell, the new host of "The View," restrained herself for exactly one week before letting fly with her extreme liberalism. On the September 12 edition, in response to fellow co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck’s comment that militant Islam is a grave threat, O’Donnell stated that "radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam in a country like America." The comedienne also attacked America’s response to 9/11: O’Donnell: "We were attacked not by a nation. And as a result of the attack and the killing of nearly 3,000 innocent people we invaded two countries and killed innocent people in their countries."...

FARGO, N.D. - The Dixie Chicks have canceled their Aug. 26 Fargodome concert, a move their promoter attributed to the need to promote a fall documentary. A statement Friday said the Fargo show and other concerts in August and September were canceled so the band could promote the documentary "Dixie Chicks: Shut up and Sing," for the Toronto International Film Festival in September. Most of the canceled shows were rescheduled for later in the year. The Fargo concert, however along with appearances in Des Moines, Glendale, Ariz., Knoxville, Tenn., Greensboro, N.C. and Houston disappeared from the updated schedule altogether. Instead,...

Ann Coulter certainly stirred up a hornet’s nest when she accused the so-called Jersey Girls of wallowing in their widowhood. Tim Rutten, the resident media critic for the L.A. Times, accused Coulter of being cruel and tasteless. He was so outraged by what she had written and said about the quartet that, in a frenzy of self-righteousness, he then went on to describe her as a gaunt 45-year-old, an “ingénue with fangs,” and summed up her appeal as pornographic, likening it to “black leather and Nazi paraphernalia” which “have a kind of iconic status in the sadomasochistic subcultures inclined toward...

The "ladies" (I guess) of The View just lambasted Ann Coulter calling her a "bitch" several times. Barbara Wa Wa went even further, taking up for the women saying all the wanted was "more security for our county". The young conservative lady on the show tried to clarify what Coulter was actually saying when Wa Wa put Coulter's words out of context. The reaction from these ladies further proves Coulter's point.

What a moron. Ann Coulter, that is. After calling a group of 9/11 widows "harpies" who seem to be "enjoying their husbands' deaths" in her new book, the conservative pundit has gone too far. She even added: "And by the way, how do we know their husbands weren't planning to divorce these harpies? Now that their shelf life is dwindling, they'd better hurry up and appear in Playboy..." Huh? Ugly is the only way I can describe what Coulter has written. Now I understand why Time magazine put her on the cover a few years ago and made her look...

I was watching Maureen Dowd on Larry King last night and something she said jumped out at me. Read the quotes in bold below. One is from Maureen Dowd and the other is from Mary Mapes. (Both were on Larry King last week-but not on the same day). Obviously, journalism standards change from story to story depending on how they can be used to smear a Republican president: http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0511/12/lkl.01.htmlKING:[talking about Judy Miller] Was she doing her job or was she caught up in it? DOWD: I think she was too creditable. And too, you know, investigative reporting is not stenography....

Senator Clinton has repeatedly vowed to finish out her first term, which ends in 2006. But she would be foolish to pass up the 2004 opportunity, especially if President Bush's economic plans start to crash and burn and his war whoops lead to body bags. Clinton would leap to the front of the pack on name recognition alone. She's a terrific fundraiser and New York voters would forgive her if she made a credible but unsuccessful run. She would return to the Senate as a more powerful member and be a battle-tested contender for 2008. COLLEGE PARK, MD. -...

Bush Still Clueless on Welfare Reform: NOW Condemns Backward Family Values July 2, 2002 "George W. Bush spent the early part of this week on a 'family values tour,' touting his backward-looking proposals to marry-off poor women and pour federal money into religious programs," said National Organization for Women (NOW) President Kim Gandy. "All this lip service to 'family values' is little more than a transparent attempt to mold domestic policy to suit the likes of Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell. These impoverished proposals skew public policy to the detriment of poor women, poor families and poor children across the...
