I can tell you that you raise your kids to the best of your ability.....  I thought my son that the only person he can control is himself!  We have to all take care of our own backyards!

The GOP's really love their women.

Lauren Bush was born in Texas to father Neil and mother Sharon. She has a younger sister, Ashley, who appears to share her striking genetic disposition as well. As a high school student in Houston, Lauren kept busy with the demands of homework and extracurricular activities such as photography, jazz and ballet.

She has worked for Italian designer Gai Mattiolo, Abercrombie & Fitch and is the face of Tommy Hilfiger. Pirelli chose her as the cover model for their limited edition 2002 calendar.

I thought Abercrombie & Fitch were being accused of child porn by the wing nuts.

Concerned Women for America, the nation's largest public policy women's organization with a rich 25-year history of helping our members across the country bring Biblical principles into all levels of public policy, think so.

Abercrombie & Fitch Cancels Holiday Quarterly     10/19/2001
"A&F is the target of a nationwide boycott, led by the American Decency Association (ADA) and other groups including Concerned Women for America."

The Reverse Psychology of Abercrombie & Fitch     12/27/1999
"In this case, we're dealing with a book of pornography"

"Field Guide" Bye-Bye
Abercrombie and Fitch stops selling porn.

James Dobson of Focus on the Family recently spent a radio program and an appearance on MSNBC's Scarborough Country urging listeners to boycott Abercrombie until it stopped publishing the quarterly.

Dobson was joined in his efforts by former Redskins coach Joe Gibbs, Chuck Colson, the American Decency Association (ADA), the National Coalition for the Protection of Children and Families, and others.

So why would the brother of Mr. Family Values let his little girl work for such slime? Why didn't the pundits make a big deal about it? I tell you why! We are living in an Orwellean World. As the good Rev. Mykeru put it:

We are living in a country where truth is blasphemy, truth is nearly treasonous, where the discourse is almost entirely given over to people remarkably similar to "a small fat pig named Squealer, with very round cheeks, twinkling eyes, nimble movements, and a shrill voice. He was a brilliant talker, and when he was arguing some difficult point he had a way of skipping from side to side and whisking his tail which was somehow very persuasive."

Because, after all, if there's anything that we know in George W. Bush's America, it's that all animals are created equal. Some are just created more equal than others. Generally this is referred to as "IOKIYAR", or something similar. You see, scandals are something that happen to democrats, progressives and, in short, anyone who isn't absolved of all sins, past and future, by virtue of being a Republican. Repeat after me: "It's OK If You're a Republican".

Corruption and hypocrisy ought not to be inevitable products of democracy, as they undoubtedly are today. - Gandhi
