I still love Ann

Okay, the baby is asleep so maybe I can write about something intelligent for once.

Ann's in trouble. She recently came out with a new book, "Godless". I think it's appropriate and most of the country on some level or another would agree with that. I haven't had the privilege of reading this book, once I get an extra $20 I'll run out and buy it. Her books, by the way, are usually hidden deep in the back of the book store. I've never seen one on display in the front of the store, no matter how new and controversial it may be. I happen to believe in the case of this new book, she just may have bullied her way to the front of the store. Finally.

I love how she makes a career out of pissing people off. In a good way, of course. People are so pissed and it only came out the week of June 7th. Speaking of it's location in the book store, she writes this about how to find her book:

"The main problem with "Godless" is that I had to walk through the valley of darkness to find it. You will have to push past surly bookstore clerks, proceed past the weird people in the "self-help" section, and finally past the stacks and stacks of Hillary Clinton's memoirs. If all else fails, ask for the "hate speech" section of your local bookstore. Ironically, if you find "Godless" without asking for assistance, it's considered a minor miracle. "

Heh. Anyway, so I've heard through the grapevine that she says some bad things about the widows of some 911 victims. If that's the truth I've yet to read it, but as I said as soon as I free up some cash...

I love her. I will remain faithful unless by some tragic twist of nature she goes against her own beliefs and starts trying to actually please people. Something tells me she'd rather be set on fire.

So I just had to leave you with some quotes from the book that she posted in her column this week:

* No liberal cause is defended with more dishonesty than abortion. No matter what else they pretend to care about from time to time – undermining national security, aiding terrorists, oppressing the middle class, freeing violent criminals – the single most important item on the Democrats' agenda is abortion. Indeed, abortion is the one issue the Democratic Party is willing to go to war over – except in the Muslim world, which is jam-packed with prohibitions on abortion, but going to war against a Muslim nation might also serve America's national security objectives. Liberals don't care about women. They care about destroying human life. To them, 2,200 military deaths in the entire course of a war in Iraq is unconscionable, but 1.3 million aborted babies in America every year is something to celebrate.

And this one made me reconsider a public education for Riley:

* While gays were being decimated by the AIDS virus, U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop was more interested in not "stigmatizing" them than in saving their lives. See, where I come from, being dead also carries a certain type of stigma. Instead of distributing condoms in gay bars and at productions of the play "Rent," where they might have done some good, Koop insisted on distributing condoms in kindergarten classes, to emphasize the point that AIDS does not discriminate, which it does.
In 1987, New York Times reporter Maureen Dowd – before she was elevated to the cartoon pages – wrote a heroic portrait of the man. Dr. Koop, she said "fiercely wants to strip AIDS of its stigma," and for that reason, he talks "about making an animated educational video that would feature two condoms 'with little eyes on them' chatting, and about the need for 'gentle, nonmystifying' sex education for students, starting in kindergarten." I would pay quite a bit of money to hear someone describe anal sex – oh hell, make it any kind of sodomy – to a 5-year-old in a gentle, nonmystifying way.

Ick.

Well, now the baby is up. The liberal agenda keeps him up at nights too. I'll leave you with this but it's really for me, because I have to leave in a rush but I found two new awesome blogs I want to keep up with:
