Things Christine O'Donnell didn't do

American Thinker  "The press is obsessed that Delaware Republican Senate nominee, Christine O'Donnell said that as a high-school student she hung out with kids who styled themselves witches.
"For this we're now to conclude that she's unfit to serve in the Congress of the United States A body composed of individuals of the most admirable rectitude. Apparently none of them ever did anything silly in high school.
"Furthermore, we do know that O'Donnell similarly falls short of standards set by Democratic law makers and chief executives because she never:...Wait for it...

O'Donnell Witch Hunt   "The GOP's chosen nominee for senator from Delaware is being asked to defend comments about the occult. Hey, it's not as if she "dabbled" in the KKK or Marxism or seanced with a very dead Eleanor Roosevelt.
"Be careful whom you date in high school or what you dabble in to humor a boyfriend. Those skeletons in your closet may come back to haunt you, particularly if you become a conservative Tea Party candidate fighting to stop creeping socialism in America."

Hollywood Feminism: ‘People Magazine’ Taught Me Everything I Need to Know About Being A Woman

Big Hollywood  "Being a woman is great in this post proto-feminist world, and if you aren’t already a modern woman, I’d like to take you out of the kitchen and bring you up to speed. I was raised to believe in antiquated ideas — such as a woman needs to act like a lady and that a child needs both a mother and a father! Preposterous. Last week I squeezed out eight fatherless kids while at the sports bar during half-time – I do have a few pre-existing kids from different baby daddies, but I was keeping up with all the octomoms in the neighborhood.

Big Hollywood  "In a Real Time segment that will shock none of you and disappoint many of you, Mad Men star Jon Hamm suggests the Tea Party has a racist “secret agenda.” Is there something that happens to you when you become a huge star in Hollywood, the type of star that simultaneously has an Emmy-winning television show and the number one film in America, that makes you unable to understand that Americans are often partial to limited government and Constitutional principles without being a part of some racist vast right-wing conspiracy?
"You almost have to thank Maher for asking the question. If he was a conservative, you’d immediately think he set Hamm up to say something stupid."

Debating the DREAM Act

Max Boot  "In the process, we can use our armed forces and our universities as they have long been used — to integrate newcomers into the mainstream of American society.

A Yom Kippur Prayer For Jews who are "Proud to be Ashamed to Be Jews"

Phyllis Chesler  "Also in 2010, some American Jews encouraged a new flotilla, “The Audacity of Hope,” as envisioned by Rashid Khalidi, to “break” the Israeli blockade of Gaza. Jewish signatories Anna Baltzer (again), Medea Benjamin of CODEPINK, Hedy Epstein (again), Michael Ratner, and Starhawk joined the likes of Rachel Corrie’s parents, Angela Davis and Alice Walker.
"And now we have a new boycott, this time by American actors, writers, playwrights, and directors, who are supporting the Israeli refusal to perform in the city of Ariel’s new cultural center in Israel....Thus, the likes of Ed Asner, Theodore Bikel, Tony Kushner, Mandy Patinkin, Stephen Sondheim, Harold Prince, Wallace Shawn, Eve Ensler, Judith Malina, Rosanne Barr, Alicia Ostriker, as well as non-Jews such as Vanessa Redgrave, Kathleen Chalfant, Cynthia Nixon, Juliane Moore, and Mira Nair, have all signed a petition supporting the Israeli theatre people who are refusing to perform."
