Tammy Wynette’s mother gave her the wonderful gift of birth on the 5th of May, 1942. Tammy went on to become a legendary country music champion who fought like hell to get mothers more respect and articulate their needs. Wynette channeled the spirit of Hank Williams away from the interests of men towards the deep concerns of women as mothers. In D-I-V-O-R-C-E she wrote of the pain of family break-up: “I spell out all the hurtin’ words And turn my head when I speak ‘Cause I can’t spell away this hurt That’s drippin’ down my cheek.” Another number one hit....

Does this mean she wanted to snip his junk off? Daily Wire reports: Hillary Clinton is everywhere right now, hitting all the talk shows as she hawks yet another book. On one of her endless stops, the two-time presidential loser said that staying with her husband despite his infidelity and lies was the “gutsiest” act of her life. “Oh, boy, I think the gutsiest thing I’ve ever done, well, personally — make the decision to stay in my marriage. Publicly, politically run for president. And keep going. Just get up every day and keep going,” Clinton told “Good Morning America”...

Country music is the most American of musical idioms, alongside jazz. With a longer history than rock and roll or hip-hop, country has produced a powerful pantheon of memorable artists, albums, and songs. Growing up, I pretended not to like country music, even though it was the music I heard my dad listen to the most (while my mom turned me on to the incredible pop and rock of the ‘60s and ‘70s). Nowadays, I’ve shaken that youthful pretension and will admit to enjoying most types of country’s many subgenres. I also have to admit that compiling a list...

There is intense anticipation in the Catholic Church -- and no small amount of anxiety for traditionalists -- over what Pope Francis will say about Communion for divorced and remarried Catholics in a key document expected in the coming weeks. But Francis has already made an intriguing change in this area, albeit one that only concerns the Vatican's arcane diplomatic protocol and a very, very select group: Catholic heads of state. As longtime Vatican-watcher Andrea Tornielli reports, the pontiff has altered the long-standing Vatican custom that if a Catholic president or prime minister (or dictator) who is divorced and remarried...

CLEAR FORK, W.Va. - Hillary Rodham Clinton Monday compared her underdog quest for the White House to John F. Kennedy's 1960 campaign -- while her top strategist likened Barack Obama's sky-high confidence to George W. Bush's infamous "Mission Accomplished" declaration. A Suffolk University poll Monday showed the former first lady leading Barack Obama by 36 points ahead of Tuesday's West Virginia primary -- which would be her biggest victory margin of the campaign. But analysts say a win tonight is likely to do little to erode Obama's lead in delegates, or stem the steady trickle of undecided superdelegates to the...

In a revealing moment of MSM elitism, WaPo editorialist Ruth Marcus, discussing the decision of Silda Wall Spitzer to appear with her husband Eliot yesterday, wanted people to know Mrs. Spitzer is a Harvard law grad and a "serious" person, not a Tammy Wynette type. Marcus was interviewed by Contessa Brewer on MSNBC this afternoon, and the pair turned to the question of why political wives tend to appear with their husbands who have been caught up in sex scandals. RUTH MARCUS: I just don't think that we should lump all these women together. And to use a line that...

AP) Anti-U.S. leaders Hugo Chavez of Venezuela and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad met in Tehran on Saturday, pledging mutual support for one another, state media reported. Chavez' two-day visit came as Iran faces renewed international criticism for its nuclear program and as a backer of Hezbollah guerrillas, engaged in fighting with Israel since they captured two Israeli soldiers July 12. The five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council on Friday reached a deal on a resolution that would give Iran until the end of August to suspend uranium enrichment or face the threat of economic and diplomatic sanctions. Following...

    the significance of missus clinton's gratuitous gerundial g-droppings by Mia T, 7.26.05   ratuitous gerundial g-droppings, much like the infamously annoying yet revealing you knows, are a significant marker for missus clinton's ineloquence, vulgarity, ignorance, arrogance, flatulence, retrograde fraudulence, rube-meets-valley-girl demographics, obtuseness, low self-esteem, anxiety, insincerity, complicity. And ultimately, political moribundity. Like those pesky viscous splatters on our windshields, missus clinton's g-droppings soil and obscure as they annoy. Their use is narrowly circumscribed. Whenever a situation arises that requires missus clinton to affect a redneck pose, her gerundial g's drop. Faster than hubby's pants, which is necessary if...

They released him [bin Laden].At the time, '96, he had committed no crime against America, so I did not bring him here because we had no basis on which to hold him, though we knew he wanted to commit crimes against America.So I pleaded with the Saudis to take him, 'cause they could have; but they thought it was a hot potato.

CLARKE WITNESSED FIRST-HAND THE CLINTONS' UTTER FAILURE TO FIGHT TERRORISM "If Clarke's plan had been implemented, [i.e., if clinton had responded to the bombing of the USS Cole, a clear act of war, militarily instead of telephonically!] al Qaeda's infrastructure would have been demolished and bin Laden might well have been killed. Sept. 11, 2001 might have been just another sunny day" [So the real question that requires answering is this: Why did this legacy-obsessed president miss a golden opportunity to secure his legacy for all time by wiping out terrorism, then in its incipient stage and stoppable? Was...

BUSH KNEW: yesterday's outmoded, outré idea, tomorrow's rage by Mia T, 3.12.04 Not unexpectedly, the web appears to have been wiped clean of that image. Anyone have pic of Hillary holding up "BUSH KNEW" headline in Senate?   very fashionista understands the capriciousness of style. Yesterday's outmoded, outré idea can become tomorrow's rage.
