Sybil was the first major book to tie "MPD" to child abuse. Published in 1973, it was followed by a compelling 1976 movie. Sybil played a substantial role in the cultural and psychiatric tsunami, later known as the "false" or "recovered" memory debate. According to author Debbie Nathan "In the entire history of Western civilization, there had been less than 200 cases over a period of centuries. But after the book and film, suddenly there were hundreds and thousands. And by the late 1980s there were 40,000 cases diagnosed in the United States alone." See Sybil Exposed

Sixteen year old Sybil Luddington was a hero of the Revolutionary War.....as revolution number two shapes up, we could learn some lessons from our ancestors.

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Something in the New York Post yesterday, a story by Kyle Smith. You remember the woman who had personality disorder, Sybil? Made a movie out of it? Total hoax. A total fraud. Never happened. Made up by the author and some psychiatrists for fun and profit. And since then there have been 40,000 cases of multiple personality disorder diagnosed. After the story of Sybil was published, multiple personality disorder became an officially recognized diagnosis, 40,000 unfortunate patients being diagnosed. Sybil was a real person, but her case and her story was a 100%, 24-karat hoax. And Kyle...

Following is a special message from Chuck DeVore regarding the Sarah Palin endorsement of Carly Fiorina. I just finished strong in a one hour debate with Tom Campbell and Carly Fiorina (to be broadcast Sunday morning -- we'll send you the media analysis when it comes in). But before I went to bed tonight I wanted to take a moment to type out some of my thoughts on the day’s news and provide you with an update on my campaign. If you didn’t hear, Sarah Palin posted a Facebook message earlier today about the California Republican primary. She bashed Tom...

I just finished strong in a one hour debate with Tom Campbell and Carly Fiorina (to be broadcast Sunday morning — we’ll send you the media analysis when it comes in). But before I went to bed tonight I wanted to take a moment to type out some of my thoughts on the day’s news and provide you with an update on my campaign. If you didn’t hear, Sarah Palin posted a Facebook message earlier today about the California Republican primary. She bashed Tom Campbell. She tried to ignore me. And she announced her support of Carly Fiorina. She called...

Grass-roots conservatives, your attention, please: The NRCC and GOP dumped $1 million of your hard-earned money into radical Leftist Republican Dede Scozzafava’s NY-23’s campaign — money that was squandered trashing mainstream conservative candidate Doug Hoffman, who lost the race by less than 3,400 votes. Now, the GOP elite Senate candidate in California, Carly Fiorina, is running against Democrat Barbara Boxer by…trashing mainstream conservative GOP rival Chuck DeVore. Fiorina’s strongest argument against DeVore? He’s a white man and she’s not. Really: Asked why she is a better candidate than her Republican primary opponent Assemblyman Chuck DeVore (R-Calif.), Fiorina said that a...

Carly Fiorina puts herself on the side of Jesse Jackson and his Rainbow Coalition shakedowns. This is a conservative?

Carly Fiorina describes the Internet as the Wild Wild West- discussing how it should be regulated, and how she feels the world wide web and the internet cannot be a sphere apart.

Carly Fiorina repeatedly advocates for Internet taxation during her July 7, 2000, testimony in front of the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee.

Fiorina on Cap and Trade praising Goober and Kerry!

A friend of mine sends me a note. It's actually a story, our old buddies at Newsmax, Carl Limbacher and the boys. "While top Democrats continue to downplay the impact of a historic Iraq elections on Sunday, New York senator Hillary Clinton has taken an early step to set herself apart from naysayers. In a statement posted to her website two days before the vote's smashing success, Clinton said, 'No matter what you think about the war there's one thing we can all agree on for the next days. We have to salute the courage and bravery of those...

Phil Hendrie is coming to television. Just as soon as someone can figure out what to do with him. Much like Robin Williams when he first emerged from the improv comedy clubs of early-’70s San Francisco, Hendrie — radio dog, stellar mimic, cult avatar, meta-theorist and polyphrenic zookeeper — has become something of a design problem: Everyone agrees he’s the best in the world at what he does, without having the slightest idea how to translate that into film or TV. For anyone who doesn’t know who Phil Hendrie is or quite grasp what he does — and it’s staggering...
