NET OPENS DOOR TO WOLVES WHO PREY ON KIDS FOR SEX[*1]
No, this is not about Internet-savvy four-legged dog-like predators who want to mate with human children.
The preferred noun would be something like “perverts,” “sickos,” or “criminals,” not “wolves.”

Evangelical Republicans Trust States on Social Issues
Reading the WaPo story, OpinionJournal blogger James Taranto notes:
evangelical Protestant Republicans (EPRs)have more trust in the democratic process than do Americans in general, and presumably far more than secular liberal Democrats (SLDs). It is the SLDs, then, who are guilty of the charge they make against the EPRs–namely, trying to impose their views on others.
Seems like the WaPo is discovering a political truth I realized some time ago and mentioned in the context of the esteemable Howard Dean: The Democrats have become the Party of Psychological Projection.

It is impossible to fight a war without heroism. Yet can you name a single American military hero acclaimed by the media for an act of courage in combat? Such courage is systematically ignored by most of the media.
If American troops kill a hundred terrorists in battle and lose ten of their own men doing it, the only headline will be: “Ten More Americans Killed in Iraq Today.”
Oh, note to Howard Dean: Sowell is black. He has a job, too.

Howard Dean is pretty much a one-man ScrappleFace full-employment guarantee.
Reynolds is of course talking about our beloved National Democratic Chairman and former Presidential Candidate (YEARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!) Howard Dean, in reference to Dean’s quote:
“Thanks to their pale skin, round eyes and khaki trousers, Republicans just blend in,” said Mr. Dean. “So they vote, get in the back of the line and vote again. And because they’ve never made an honest living in their lives, they could do that all day long.”
It is fascinating how vote fraud, which if the Democrats didn’t invent, they brought to the level of high art, has become a core belief in the Democrats’ litany of complaints against the Republicans. I’ve long ago come to the conculsion that the Democrats are the Party of Psychological Projection[*2] (i.e. most of what they loathe and fear about Republicans, they are themselves guilty of). Perhaps this is what the experts mean about half of all Americans suffering mental illness during their lifetimes?
Oh, a link to Scrappleface[*3] , an often hilarious parody site.

From the San Francisco Chronicle:
Mental illness will hit half in U.S.[*1]
About half of Americans will develop a mental disorder at some time in their lives, the survey of nearly 10,000 U.S. adults found — with half of those cases starting by age 14, and three-quarters by age 24.

Deep Throat Revealed![*1]
OK, who really cares? I mean, I’m a pretty serous news junkie but please, some 90-year-old guy gets trotted out before his demise so that his golddigger family can cash in on his not-so-noble past? (Not-so-noble in that he wasn’t leaking out of civic duty, but because he was P.O’ed about being passed over for FBI Director. Next story, please!)
France, Netherlands Reject the EU Constitution![*2]
So much for European Unity, at least for a while.
Michael Jackson Trial goes to Jury![*3]
And, in a related story, MJ has “back pain.” Riiiiighttttt . . .
Amnesty International Destroys its Credibility![*4]
In a master stroke of transparent international leftism, Amnesty International head (ironically named Kahn) equates guards kicking holy books and generally being disrespectful of murderers and terrorists to Soviet camps where thousands and millions were worked and starved to death by Stalin. KAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHNNNNNN!!!!!!!.

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon on Friday released new details about mishandling of the Qur’an at the Guantanamo Bay prison, confirming that a soldier deliberately kicked the Muslim holy book.
OK, so kicking a religion’s holy book is a pretty darn impolite thing to do, and depending on whether or not you believe in the teachings in the book, might just consign you to Hell. But really, is it front page news? Really?
