Names were changed, freeing subjects to speak with breathtaking, and, at times, off-putting, candor. A 15-year-old, with her mother by her side, explained that she and her friends perform oral sex on the boys in their class - and then decide if they like them. College women, meanwhile, talked of choosing drunken one-night stands over boyfriends and often referenced their conquests with rage-filled disdain. It's sometimes compelling and certainly voyeuristic, but Stepp gives the melodramas too much space and perhaps too much gravity, making the book read like an MTV reality show.

Former Vice President Al Gore (D) received a warm welcome on Capitol Hill last week for his testimony on the environment and Global Warming. However, while he is now an Academy Award winner and celebrity activist, just 24% of Americans consider Gore an expert on Global Warming. A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of 1,000 adults found that 47% say he is not an expert on the topic

Neither Penn nor Rep. Barbara Lee, the Oakland Democrat who has opposed the war since before it began four years ago, offered much in the way of specifics for ending the conflict, and they were largely preaching to the choir. The enthusiastic and occasionally boisterous crowd of 800 or so crammed into the Grand Lake Theater wildly cheered as Penn excoriated President Bush.

"The potential for legal jeopardy for Ms. Goodling from even her most truthful and accurate testimony under these circumstances is very real," said the lawyer, John Dowd.

"One need look no further than the recent circumstances and proceedings involving Lewis Libby," he said, a reference to the recent conviction of Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff in the CIA leak case.

Emily Nicely, 19, was routinely beaten with broom handles, a metal pipe, belts and wooden boards.  She was forced to quit school, to do chores and deliver newspapers without pay. She was by any definition — including those of the federal government and the family that held her captive for six months — a slave.

I once had a cousin named Jackie.  She was a beautiful, divorced mother of three who was murdered by a stalker when she attempted to escape the relationship.  I know this horror first hand.  I tell you today that the relationship between good citizens and their masters in Washington is nothing short of the same, victimizing, violent, delusional, deadly disaster.

Not so long ago, moral equivalence was the name of the favorite game in salons of the intellectual elites. They couldn't see the virtues of Western civilization. "Western civ," in fact, became a sneer. Ronald Reagan, who recognized an evil empire when he saw one, ended all that. He knew that men and women trapped behind the Iron Curtain wanted freedom just like us…

A few years ago, Prime Minister Paul Keating of Australia refused to show "proper respect" to Britain's Queen Elizabeth II during her state visit. In response, Terry Dicks, a Conservative member of the British Parliament said, "It's a country of ex-convicts, so we should not be surprised by the rudeness of their prime minister."

A slur such as this would be considered unthinkable if it were uttered against any other class or race of people except the descendants of White slavery. Dicks' remark is not only offensive, it is ignorant and false. Most of Australia's "convicts" were shipped into servitude for such "crimes" as stealing seven yards of lace, cutting trees on an aristocrat's estate or poaching sheep to feed a starving family.

Academy Award Winner Al Gore, the former vice president, appeared before Congress to explain in a simple, straightforward manner that we’re all going to die because we’ve been ignoring Honest Al’s prescription for Saving The World.  Never mind that whether you judge him by his calorie intake or carbon output, Al Gore himself is one of the world’s biggest greenhouse gas emitters.  Like Victorian times when those in power thought that morality was for the “little people,” Honest Al has offset his planet-unfriendly way by creating a fund (that he himself financially benefits from) to plant a sufficient number of new trees to counteract the methane-producing effects of every Mexican meal he eats, or convince enough eco-friendly acolytes to foreswear cars for bicycles so he can fly around the world in his private jet.
