I've written about sex changes before. But this one takes the cake. A "man", by the name of Thomas Beatie, has come out with the fact that he is pregnant. He's expecting a girl in July with his wife, Nancy. Liberals, of course, are simply swooning. Beatie has appeared on... [Full Story]

How about parents try being parents?

Posted by Cassy Fiano · Published: March 4, 2008 · Comments (29)

Every now and then, we see some news article or column breathlessly warning us of the over-sexualization of young girls.

Child Receives "Most Likely Not to have Children" Award

Posted by Lorie Byrd · Published: June 14, 2007 · Comments (32)

I have been critical of the way many schools and kids' sports teams now give everyone an award so that no one is left out. That pales in comparison to this though.
