What’s up with the pix of Demi Moore? Her head is huge in comparison to the rest of her body. What a freak.

That’s a damn good post by Byron York at the Washington Examiner about Newt’s ethics charges in the nineties. All the Newt haters especially should take the time to read it.

They ought to, but I doubt they will. The sheer hate some of those people are radiating is appalling.

I know. Mostly from people who claim to be conservative and for small government. At the same time they act like they want a guy who’ll send federal employees to read their kids Bible stories at night. Of course its got to be a man though, a woman wielding power over the country just wouldn’t be sufficiently Biblical. Its sickening.
