    I don't think we can demand honesty and integrity of the left so why bother. After all, we even have them admitting that the helped Obama get elected because they did not report on him on many items and then again outright lied for him on others. Its worship far greater than it was for Clinton (who's he?) The real problem for the left now and for their future is so may lies are hard to keep believable. Lets take a look at something very important...Hurricane Katrina. Hurricane warnings are sent, too many ignore Hurricane hits, Liberals running New Orleans...

    There has been plenty of whining from conservatives concerning whether John McCain would select a pro-choice vice president. I just hope whining is all it is. As my colleague Dan Calabrese pointed out on August 21, the political leanings of the VP concerning abortion are largely irrelevant. The only way to meaningfully decrease the number of abortions is to convince people that abortion is a bad idea, not to legislate. But this conservative whining must be starting to concern McCain and his political strategists at least a little. Maybe these people who keep complaining that McCain isn´t conservative enough are...

    The results of the midterm elections last November greatly saddened Barbra Streisand. But within three days of that awful event she had picked herself up, dusted herself off, and sat down to tell us why the Democrats lost. Like the blond who stares at the red arrow on a subway map, "You are here," and asks "How do it know?" we are bound to ask, "How does Yentl know why the Democrats lost?" More, we want to ask her why her analysis is in terms of why the Democrats lost rather than why the Republicans won. Ms. Streisand views elections...

    The other day, I read one of those sad headlines: ''Mother of two dies in car wreck.'' There but for the grace of God go I. Yet it occurred to me that whenever a woman comes to public attention in tragedy, she is often described in relation to children. ''Mother of twins dies in fire,'' the headline reads, or ''Grandmother fights off home invaders.'' It is strikingly rare, on the other hand, to see similar headlines for men. ''Father of two killed in drive-by shooting''? ''Grandfather in critical condition after mountain-climbing mishap''? Unlikely. Men are not fathers first and foremost....
