But...What About the Boys?

by Carol Hoenig on 5/20/2008 9:12:33 AM

Some fathers in Colorado Springs recently gathered at a hotel with their daughters in order to ensure their daughters’ purity—within the confines of a dance. There is something almost cultish about this garish display. Why does a father need to go to such lengths to encourage his daughter to “remain... Continue »

Avoiding Accountability

by Carol Hoenig on 4/30/2008 9:40:10 AM

I’m guessing President Bush has never felt accountable for any error in judgment. His most recent appearance in the Rose Garden yesterday confirms his myopic thinking yet again. There are no quick fixes, Mr. Bush said, to ease the pain Americans feel. Mr. Bush used a Rose Garden news conferen... Continue »

A Drug for Everything

There was an editorial in yesterday’s New York Times concerning cholesterol drugs Vytorin and Zetia. It’s getting to the point that there is a drug for everything, or so the drug industry wants us to believe. When the companies for these prescription drugs began airing a plethora of commercials, all... Continue »

This past week’s New York Times Magazine had an article on the topic of schools separating boys from the girls. I considered the idea and eventually concluded that this separation will only hurt these children as they approach young adulthood. It is important to learn how to interact with the opposi...

A Forfeited Pastime

by Carol Hoenig on 2/28/2008 9:27:54 AM

In 1807, when Thomas Jefferson was president, Aaron Burr acquitted of treason, and poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was born in a country a baby itself, there was a man named Charles Wiley who opened a print shop in New York City. What is astounding is how that print shop managed over the years to fl... Continue »

Obama and Extremism

by David Oatney on 2/25/2008 6:34:39 AM

Apparently, Barack Obama has had no trouble accepting support from terrorists and members of the radical Left in his relatively recent past: In 1995, State Senator Alice Palmer introduced her chosen successor, Barack Obama, to a few of the district’s influential liberals at the home of two well kno...

Sarkozy's School Curriculum

by Carol Hoenig on 2/19/2008 9:32:44 AM

On first reading the President Nicolas Sarkozy article over the weekend, I thought it commendable what the French leader is doing. President Nicolas Sarkozy dropped an intellectual bombshell this week, surprising the nation and touching off waves of protest with his revision of the school curriculu... Continue »

How the Pentagon Operates

by Carol Hoenig on 2/18/2008 9:37:33 AM

Anyone who defends America’s reasoning for going into Iraq with statements about freeing the Iraqis or destroying Saddam Hussein because of those “weapons of mass destruction” needs to see the documentary Why We Fight. Yes, it’s been around for a couple of years, but if no one watches it, what good ... Continue »
