Out of Texas comes this touching story with a happy ending. When Chad and Keri McCartney say their infant daughter, Macie Hope, is born again, they aren’t referring to religion — the month-old miracle baby really was born twice. The first “birth” was about six months into Keri McCartney’s pregnancy, when surgeons at Texas Children’s […]

Last week, Senate Democrats released a report that provided "proof" for the "Bush lied, people died" slander. In a statement accompanying the report, Senator John D. Rockefeller IV, the West Virginia Democrat who is chairman of the intelligence panel, said, “The president and his advisers undertook a relentless public campaign in the aftermath of the […]

After reading my post about Canada's Human Rights Commissions, if you thought that was just north of the border craziness, think again.

Every other month the San Diego Union-Tribune sells copies of books (and other miscellaneous stuff) sent for review that doesn't make the cut to raise money for charity. Here's what I came away with last week.

There's a line in the Juan Williams article that I reference below that I had missed when it first graced the editorial pages of The New York Times that struck me as symptomatic of the secular left's view of religion and the public policy arena. Writing in response to Barack Obama's "race speech" a couple […]
