Left wing Media boobs are pushing their hypocritical agenda again. This time they are busy criticizing Carly Fiorina for her joke about Barbara Boxer's hair - the same media that recently spent days mocking Sarah Palin about whether she had a breast enlargement. Are both an example of left-wing media bias gotcha journalism targeting conservatives? In a "Girls will be girls, rivals will be rivals" moment, Carly Fiorina zinged Barbara Boxer's hair - it was caught on mike. No doubt Barbara Boxer is seething but the Boxer team is not demanding an apology. It happened when the California Republican Senate...

The Republican candidate for the Senate from California, Carly Fiorina, was excoriated in the media for an off-microphone comment about the hair of her Democratic opponent, long-time Senator Barbara Boxer. In fact, Fiorina was recounting the comment of another person, who said that Boxer’s hair was “yesterday.” Nevertheless, the mainstream media depicted Fiorina as petty and catty. Meanwhile, the Democratic candidate for Governor of California, Jerry Brown, compared his Republican opponent, Meg Whitman, to Joseph Goebbels. Goebbels was Hitler’s minister of propaganda. He was such a devoted Nazi that when Hitler committed suicide, Goebbels and his wife did the same...

Former Hewlett-Packard executive Carly Fiorina, who won the California GOP Senate primary Tuesday, said Sunday she regretted her off-the-cuff remarks about the hairstyle worn by her opponent, Sen. Barbara Boxer. "I regret this whole situation. I gave people the opportunity to talk about something petty and superficial," she told Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday." "This is a very serious election year about serious issues." The Republican candidate didn't apologize for the remark, captured off the air during a television interview and posted on YouTube, in which she disparaged her opponents hairstyle as outdated. Mrs. Fiorina said the contest with...

Political novices generally make poor candidates for federal office. It is not that they are dumb, it is that they are not used to the 24/7 news-cycle. Think of H. Ross Perot’s unsteady campaign. Furthermore, novices do not understand that a media that loved them when they were running HP, will not love them when they are a Republican nominee for the Senate. Carly Fiorina is an impressive woman. She had to be in order to reach the top of a tech giant in the Silicon Valley, but she did not understand that the media would be out to get...

SNIP (About the rambling nonPalin part of the blog) Um, not really, Linds. But then she starts talking Sarah Palin and totally loses us. "Sitting here makes me think about the fact that if Sarah Palin was in office, and living in Washington.. On a "slow" night, she would probably be dressing as one of the gossip girls or tina fey to try and "be cool" enough to get into this club." Sarah Palin as Blair Waldorf? We don't see it. And she already looks like Tina Fey with no effort. Plus, since when do (potential) vice presidents spend their...

Sept. 25, 2006 — It sounds like a plot straight out of a soap opera: A nurse crosses paths with a former schoolmate in a recovery room, and the patient winds up dead. Was it an accident or was an old high school grudge a motive for murder? Right now, investigators in Charlotte, N.C., think it may be the latter. Looking at Olympic High School yearbooks from 1972 and 1973, it would appear that Sandra Baker and Sally Jordan had everything going for them. Both were extremely pretty and moved in the same circles. They even reportedly dated the same...

German Protestant youth group creates calendar with photos depicting erotic scenes from Bible. It's wonderful when teenagers commit themselves with hair and skin to Bible, pastor says A German Protestant youth group has put together a 2006 calendar with 12 staged photos depicting erotic scenes from the Bible, including a bare-breasted Delilah cutting Samson's hair and a nude Eve offering an apple. "There's a whole range of biblical scriptures simply bursting with eroticism," said Stefan Wiest, the 32-year-old photographer who took the titillating pictures. Anne Rohmer, 21, poses on a doorstep in garters and stockings as the prostitute Rahab, who...

Braidie is just your average kid. She's a little melodramatic, maybe, and a handful for her mother, but nothing too out of the ordinary. So when she sees her friends cruelly hazing a girl at school, she does what most kids would do - absolutely nothing. Joan MacLeod's sober and gripping one-woman show "The Shape of a Girl," produced by a Canadian company, the Green Thumb Theater, and playing at the Duke on 42nd Street through Jan. 30, adds to the growing consensus in popular culture that "sugar-and-spice and everything nice" might have been overstating the case. In recent years,...

CONCORD, N.H. — Police yesterday launched a criminal investigation into alleged hazing incidents involving female students at St. Paul’s School while the private boarding school conducts internal disciplinary proceedings against the girls. A total of 15 seniors and senior leaders, known as prefects, allegedly hazed new, incoming students in two dormitories late last week. One of the alleged incidents involved using an object to simulate oral sex on the younger students, multiple sources said. A school administrator yesterday confirmed he reported an alleged hazing incident to Concord police, but would not discuss the nature of the accusations nor give the...
