Childhood obesity is, well, not a good thing. First Lady Michelle Obama is championing a good issue, on the surface. Encouraging families to be more active, eat better and in general be conscious of their health is a good thing. What would be better, though, is putting the issue in perspective and actually dealing with the real issue at hand-the destruction of families. The modern | Read More »

Sorry Rachel Maddow, Fox News is News

On October 23rd Rachel Maddow took to the air explaining why, according to her, Fox News isn’t news. She steered clear of the stereotypical reasoning, the reasoning espoused by President Obama, that Fox News is right leaning.
