Sally Quinn Asks 'Does God Hate Women
"Thank God for Jimmy Carter. He takes on the tough ones."
That's how "On Faith" moderator Sally Quinn ended her April 26 post "Does God hate women?"
Quinn insisted that it was "a question that never occurred to me until I began to study religion" and that the 39th president of the United States had a role in her examining the topic:
Overnight Outrage: Tax-Funded Courses in Missouri on Strategic Union V
Imagine if a Tea Party backer by some miracle got to teach on a college campus, and began describing ways to, oh, I don't know, keep opposing politicians from conducting business, hack into their computers and destroy data, and make their staffs feel threatened. How long would that class last, and how long would it be before it became a national news story?

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
That could accurately describe Republicans' relationship to the liberal media on budget matters.

SF Chronicle's Lochhead Hits Republicans Over Pay Rate for Lawyer Defe
As part of its effort to "shore up" the backing of social conservatives, House Republicans today "issued a contract today to pay former Solicitor General Paul Clement $575 an hour, up to $500,000 to defend the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act," San Francisco Chronicle's Carolyn Lochhead insisted in the paper's Politics Blog.

'On Faith': Happy Easter, Your Faith is Patriarchal and Woman-hating
With its latest discussion question, the Washington Post/Newsweek "On Faith" website explored the overly-broad and loaded question "What is religion's role in gender discrimination?"

Muslim Woman from Georgia Admits Sending Bloody Pig's Foot to Rep. Pet
Last week I noted how the media had been silent on a package sent to Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) that contained an anti-Semitic rant and a bloody pig's foot.
The Associated Press broke the story on Monday, April 4.
In a new development, Politico's Jennifer Epstein reported this afternoon that a Muslim woman from Georgia has claimed responsibility and Capitol police are investigating the claim:
Time's Klein Hails Obama As 'Mr. Prudent' on Federal Budget, Blasts R
President Obama is "Mr. Prudent," a grown-up heralding "deficit sanity" in a Washington gone mad with "delusional" Republican plans for draconian budget cuts and tax breaks for the wealthy.
That's the predictable leftist talking point-laden take that Time magazine's Joe Klein had after listening to President Obama's hectoring lecture yesterday at George Washington University (emphasis mine):
