Strange Bedfellows: ABC Analyst Suggests Polygamy Ban Unconstitutional
You might think MSM support for the raid by Texas state authorities on the polygamist compound in Eldorado would be a slam dunk.

'American Idol' Christophobia? Jesus Not Welcome in Song Performance
Clarification: Apparently the Thursday night "Idol" included the "Jesus" lyric. In a somewhat-related item of interest to our readers, my colleague Tim Graham reminds me that West Coast viewers of ABC's "The View" in May 2002 heard a bleep when co-host Joy Behar said the word "Jesus."

Left-Wing Catfight: Vegan Strippers vs. Feminists
Last Thursday's New York Times carried an amusing story of a left-wing catfight. Kara Jesella reported that in Portland, Oregon, an entrepreneur has tried to combine strippers and vegans (the most extreme ahem, denomination of vegetarianism, with no eggs, milk, or animal products). But feminists are outraged that women would be objectified while the entrepreneur evangelizes the vegan gospel on…
Google to 'Shut Down' Capitol Switchboard Over Global Warming
