“The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis.” — Dante’s Inferno
Read Columbia alumnus David Horowitz’s reaction to Ahmadinejad’s upcoming speech. By the way, after writing my column on Ahmadinejad this week (check Townhall on Monday), I can understand why Ann Coulter used short-hand.
This woman (I refuse to call her a mother) gave her sister $80 so she could take her 12-year-old son to see a prostitute. But the money was only to see the prostitute’s breasts, not for the entire meal. It gets better… the prostitute denies sex happened because she was in the house smoking crack. Judging by the video of the alleged prostitute, she’s also guilty of price gouging.
(PS — I can’t figure out how to embed a video. I’m a lover, not a blogger.)

Earlier this month I wrote about the death of Greenstone Media, Jane Fonda and Gloria Steinem’s failed attempt at all-women’s radio (aka WPMS). Critics of my column pointed to the success of other liberal women radio show hosts like Stephanie Miller and the Satellite Sisters.
Guess who is joining Greenstone on the unemployment line?
The Satellite Sisters are being dropped by ABC Radio Network. I guess they’ll have to change their name because XM radio is also taking them off their system.
What wisdom would we impart to the world if it were our last chance? At many colleges and universities, their best professors are asked to participate in a series in which they are to give a lecture as if it were their last. For one professor, it’s more than a hypothetical exercise. Randy Pausch, a professor of computer science at Carnegie-Mellon University, jokes that he “nailed” it. Professor Pausch has pancreatic cancer and doctors estimate he only has a few weeks or months left to live.
Watch excerpts of his inspirational lecture, courtesy of WallStreetJournal.com. Professor Pausch says, “If I don’t seem as depressed or morose as I should be, sorry to disappoint you.”
Watch his entire lecture, “Achieving Your Childhood Dreams.”
Below is an article written by my former intern, Ashley Emans, a student at the University of Florida who attended Senator Kerry’s speech earlier this week. (PS — Boo Gators, Go Seminoles!)
Whose Free Speech Was Violated?
Ashley Emans, UF ‘09
There was a major violation of the First Amendment at my school on Monday. The victim? Massachusetts Senator John Kerry. And, every other person in the University of Florida auditorium that afternoon, including myself. In fact, there was only one person there whose rights were not violated, and his name is Andrew Meyer. Mr. Meyer was shot with a taser gun after being violent and disruptive during a town hall forum with the senator. Liberals are busy shouting about the supposed infringement on Andrew’s free speech rights, but it is actually the other way around. When someone is being disorderly, is flailing around in a threatening mode, and is refusing to let anyone else speak, as Andrew was, the Constitution requires he be stopped to protect the free speech rights of others. The senator was gracious to talk with us students at all (and for free, as current legislators cannot charge for speaking appearances). Yet Andrew never once showed any interest in listening to Kerry. He yelled at him, and spouted his generic Amerikkka-type conspiracy theories in a strongly inappropriate manner. There may be freedom of speech, but not freedom from consequence. From what I saw, the tasing was justified.
Someone in the comments section said that now that Coulter has called the LOTUS Blog “fabulous,” it’s time for a new banner. So, what do you think?
This is from John McCaslin’s column in today’s Washington Times. Since he’s one of my favorites, I’ll forgive him for not mentioning the LOTUS Blog.

“Wow, I guess women really do think alike,” says Lisa De Pasquale, CPAC director at the American Conservative Union, calling Inside the Beltway’s attention to the voting record of former Rhode Island Sen. Lincoln Chafee, who abandoned the Republican Party in recent days because he says it no longer fits his “status.”
She attached an intriguing story out of Rhode Island, pointing out that during his final year in the Senate, Mr. Chafee had an identical American Conservative Union rating (12) as Democratic Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein of California, and Debbie Stabenow of Michigan.
