Coulter's Conservative 'View' Not Welcome

Ann Coulter (author of: “Guilty: Liberal Victims and their Assault on America." ) gets interviewed by liberal hosts on America’s “The View” on her book. From the looks of it, it seems more like a heavy artillery bombardment rather than an interview, with Whoopi Goldberg leading the siege. It seems that these days, "conservatives" are bad guys.

US porn industry also seeks $5-B bailout

Here’s the story:
Two porn moguls, including Hustler magazine founder Larry Flynt, are seeking a $5-billion bailout from Washington, arguing that the limp US economy has thrown cold water on the adult entertainment industry…“Congress seems willing to help shore up our nation’s most important businesses, (and) we feel we deserve the same consideration,” Francis said in a statement…
“It’s time for Congress to rejuvenate the sexual appetite of America. The only way they can do this is by supporting the adult industry and doing it quickly.”…
Flynt said people were “too depressed to be sexually active.”…
“This is very unhealthy as a nation. Americans can do without cars and such, but they cannot do without sex,” he said.

No, I don’t think they’re kidding.

NY nuns sue Pinay over 'tuyo'

As the report goes, this Filipina cooked the Philippine delicacy ‘tuyo’ (dried fish) in her apartment in Manhattan, and her neighbor nuns didn’t find the resulting aroma exactly pleasing to their olfactory nerves. Apparently the scent also got on the nuns’ overall nerves well enough to sue the Pinay for $75,000 in damages. That’s a tidy sum, but maybe they will donate it to charity once they win the case. I wonder if it occurred to the nuns to just offer their discomfort for their self-mortification. If it were Mother Teresa, I’m sure she wouldn’t mind. At any rate, one’s rights ends where the other’s rights begins. Let’s see. In the land of milk and honey, maybe one should stick to cooking ham and eggs for breakfast.
