Just when you thought Fox News couldn't get any worse, they turn themselves into the televised version of the Weekly World News.

By the way, the "lesbian gang" sent to prison in New York was actually 4 women who dared fight back against a man who attacked them.

At the very least, sometimes FOX News provides quality entertainment...

Gun ownership is akin to being sex offender? That's the assertion of Christian Trejbal and is the attempted justification for the printing of the names and home addresses of concealed carry permit holders, including police officers and VICTIMS of domestic violence, in the Roanoke Times . The CNN piece exposing the fallout from the Roanoke Times article features a domestic violence victim now has her name and address listed publicly while her ex-husband who almost killed her won't have his information listed publicly when he gets out of prison. Who's lives are being put in danger here?

As to the assertions that public records should be public information, following that logic wouldn't the databases of holders of driver's licences need to be made public? Cars are potentially dangerous weapons, and I would like to know which of my neighbors might be driving one. That actually may not be too far off, for better or worse we are rapidly heading to a state of near-total information awareness.

I know it may seem odd that this message, a message broadcast until now primarily by radical activists, is being picked up by a beauty corporation. There may be worry about whether or not Dove actually believes the message or sees it as a powerful marketing ploy. However, I do not think Doves intentions here matter as much as their actions. By broadcasting this message, they are lending vast resources to the message that this message would not otherwise have had. They are reaching audiences that are not normally within the reach of radical activists. Corporations have vast resources and they aren't going away anytime soon, it is better to have some of them on our side.

Emmie Rose died yesterday before her hearing could take place. Essentially, the hospital ethics committee decided the "ethical" course of action was to starve a baby to death. The state of Michigan will happily imprison the likes of Dr. Kevorkian, who assisted the suicides of people who wanted to die. However, a doctor deliberately killing a baby who's parents' want her to live is somehow legal? It is abhorrent.
