Really big. Good. Thur AM Update: Just to clarify, of course I’m all for 1st Amendment rights – but I like seeing Fred Phelps squirm a bit. Captain Ed has a good post up about the free speech aspect of this case here. Prior: Sickening anti-gay protests at GI funerals

If you’re like me, you didn’t bother watching last night’s Democratic debate because you probably had better things to do – like watch the leaves fall or something.

I noticed yesterday that the media was intently focused on a news story about the possibility that the Mosul dam could collapse in Iraq, which they predict could kill up to 500,000 people.

The Washington Post and Newsweek both have up articles this week which discuss how risque Halloween costumes for young girls have gotten over the last several years due to their popularity which, to me, has become the scariest part of Halloween. But as Michelle Malkin noted in a post yesterday, the sexualization of young girls [...]
