I was channel surfing this evening and came across a salient C-Span program in light of a TinyCatPants I read (here) yesterday. “Aunt B” riposted (sic) a Terry Frank post and an Adam Kleinheider post, on the implications, if any, of birth-rate disparities between the East and the West.
The program in question [...]
Roger Abramson is taking shots (over at FlanktwoPosition) at Focus on the Family’s James Dobson claiming that Dobson has “drop[ped] to yet another level” in a recent Time Magazine op/ed (here). I sure hope you’ll read Dobson’s article for yourself before forming or adding to your opinion of Dobson, but in a pre-emptive (not really) defense of Dobson . [...]
You’ve probably read reports that Dick Cheney’s daughter (the one who prefers women) is pregnant. I’m most interested by the reporting of “the story” surrounding ”the story.”
This report from the L.A. Times (here) highlights what the reporter perceives as “a delicate touch unseen in the political war over gay issues.” (Aside: I like how the reporter inaccurately asserts VP [...]

Some commenters to yesterday’s poll think that a high level of education makes someone a Democrat-leaning voter . . . likewise [...]
Apparently, research data indicate that 80% of us grow up to vote in line with the way our parents voted. It was in an interesting article (here) about the “fertility gap” between the Right and Left.
But I’m interested to hear how true that is in the blogosphere, and to hear from you if you strayed [...]
John Derbyshire (yes, he’s originally from Britain) has written a great article on child-rearing in the age of Madonna as supernanny. I particularly was interested in the part contrasting the experiences of today’s children with their much-less-unsupervised lives of yesteryear.
