Take away the spoon and what have ya got?.......

Seems some people are actually outraged, outraged that First Lady Michelle Obama dared to bare so much leg by wearing shorts on a recent trip to the sweltering Grand Canyon. OMG. First she wears a sleeveless dress, now this? But think about this for a minute. What should she have worn to the Grand Canyon? A tweed pantsuit? A ballgown? What do you wear on your summer vacation?

SEATTLE, Washington (AP) -- Sen. John F. Kerry told state legislators Friday the Democratic Party doesn't need to undergo an extreme makeover, saying "the last thing America needs is a second Republican Party."

As many of you know, Ann Coulter has published a terrific work called "Treason" which, among other things, documents the complicitness of Democrats with Soviet espionage in America during the 1940's and 1950's.

By Jennifer Nicholson Graham o, I'm barreling down I-95, on a 200-mile excursion, when yellow arches loom on the horizon, and I instinctively tap the brakes. I have four kids, see, from 10 months to 10 years, and long car trips with them require multiple McFlurries. But this time, I'm traveling alone and have no good reason to stop. But I really, really want an ice-cream cone. Then, from out of the blue, it hits me: WWACD? What would Ann Coulter do? Now, my husband and I, we're Catholic, and therefore...
