Recently, I wrote a post entitled, In Defense of Women: Why the Mommy Wars are Counter-Productive, in which I audaciously asked that those who criticize women’s parenting decisions “back off” and that we “find a middle ground.” I did not state my personal position in the Mommy Wars, just that it was counter-productive to wage [...]
Airport security these days is certainly offensive. If a Republican administration were orchestrating such “Grope and Change,” one could be sure that cries of “fascist police state” from the Left could not be muted. Why is there no outrage when PC totalitarianism brings us to such uncomfortable lengths? And more importantly, who’s to blame? In [...]
Rather than copying the best security procedures in the world, the ones used by Israel’s El Al, our own TSA has decided to go with a strip and grope approach. Either you get to let airport security look at you naked or they’re allowed to run their hands over you like it’s prom night at [...]
Looking at modern-day Andrew Sullivan, it’s hard to believe that he was ever considered a sane, respectable member of the Right.

Sometime in the near future an individual with a name that sounds like “dad-gum-it” and an outfit resembling a severe sort of muumuu will present himself at an airport security checkpoint.

Such was the case with Burlesque co-stars Cher and Stanley Tucci recently. Before prescribing the government do a better job of encouraging environmentally conscious behavior, Cher unwittingly endorsed [...]
The first high-profile hearing after the November 2, referendum begins today when the Senate Finance Committee questions Dr. Donald Berwick, head of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). His appearance before Congress has taken a back seat to news reports of scanners and gropings but Berwick may turn out to be far more dangerous [...]

“White House denial of Islamic threat to blame for TSA groping.”

When I saw the video of the three year old girl screaming “Stop touching me!” as the TSA agent was administering her “pat down”, I have to say that I was proud of her. Here was a little girl with common sense enough to know that there was something inherently wrong with what was taking place. [...]
