‘GCB’: Come for the Christian-Baiting, Stay for the Bad Sex Jokes

  If “Love is Patient” then why does “GCB” feel the need to devote an entire episode solely to sexual self-gratification in marriage? On March 18, the “Good Christian” show spent 40 minutes focusing on the sexual frustrations of married couples and touting remedies such as “googling the Holy Spirit and horny” and heading to the Bible bookstore to buy “guides to spicy Scripture,” and no…

Another Bogus NYT Story Baselessly Assumes Contraception Fight Hurting

On Monday the New York Times offered yet another unsubstantiated tale of the GOP scaring away female voters.

Williams Column: We Americans Are Too Compliant with the Freedom-choki

Last month, at a Raeford, N.C., elementary school, a teacher confiscated the lunch of a 5-year-old girl because it didn't meet U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines and therefore was deemed nonnutritious. She replaced it with school cafeteria chicken nuggets. The girl's home-prepared lunch was nutritious; it consisted of a turkey and cheese sandwich, potato chips, a banana and apple juice.…
