Former NOW president Patricia Ireland has been named CEO of the YWCA. For the acronymically challenged, that's the Young Women's Christian Association. I'll take a poll on Sunday, but I think most of the young, Christian women I know won't be impressed.
Pat Bender of Rancho Bernardo, Calif., wins todays prize with this howler in the San Diego Union-Tribune. I refuse to be silenced when I oppose the war in Iraq or criticize our president. It looks to me as though the latter is bent on his policy to allow free speech to Iraqi citizens while labeling […]
In an effort to repair their image with their largely conservative country fan base, the Dixie Chicks (Full disclosure: I do own all of their albums -- bought before lead singer Natalie Maines started talking -- as opposed to singing) are going on ABC's "Primetime Live" tonight.

Protest Warrior has some video from a San Francisco anti-war rally. You can find it here. I particularly like the lady that says she likes a dictator if he provides: clean water, free health care and free education. Translation: Castro good, Bush bad.
