perfectly legal.

On the other, ethically unsound and completely contrary to US interests.

But during this administration, a member of National Lead's lobbying group became Secretary of the Interior. Energy company lobbyists basically were invited to draft legislation.

Ultimately, every endeavor depends on the professionalism of its people to set a standard. The standard of professionalism for the Bush administration is extremely low, and getting lower by the minute.

America deserves better leadership.

She's spot on. Mosey on over to Broadsheet for the Daily Fluff, if you still don't get it.

When will the oppression of female suicide-bombers-to-be end?

Maybe we can get a government grant to study the problem, and for m a "women's group" to post blog entries about it.

This mindset, exemplified by TCF's pseudoarticle, is why the liberal Western secular model for society is already circling the drain.

America is both fantastic and pathetic at the same time.

First of all, it's a fake commercial.

Second of all, were it a real commercial, it would still be a lot better than women seeking "starter husbands" for "starter marriages" - something that seems to be dismissed blithely by the feminist chattering classes.

If you're a woman, molest just about any child in the US - you'll certainly not get any jail time.

Punishment up to 20 years in prison - she got 0 years in prison.

Substitute teacher must register as sex offender

A former substitute teacher who pleaded guilty to molesting a Nederland High School freshman will have to register as a sex offender and will be barred from teaching in public schools.

The 47-year-old woman, Kerry Smith Foulk of Port Neches, pleaded guilty Tuesday to felony charges of indecency with a child for engaging in sexual contact with a 14-year-old girl in September 2006.

Foulk's plea agreement with prosecutors calls for her to complete 10 years' deferred adjudication probation and to pay restitution for counseling attended by the student and her parent.

Indecency with a child is a second-degree felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.

The plea agreement is subject to approval by state 252nd District Court Judge Layne Walker, who is scheduled to sentence Foulk next month.

A phone call Wednesday to Foulk's listed number was not returned. Attempts to reach her attorney Wednesday also were unsuccessful.

The abuse, which occurred at Foulk's home, was not an isolated incident, Jefferson County prosecutor Pat Knauth said.

"After this student made an outcry, others came forward," Knauth said in a phone conversation Wednesday, explaining Foulk's activity with other girls did not rise to criminal levels.

The substitute teacher had a history of befriending girls in classes she taught, the prosecutor said, allowing girls to stay nights at her house.

"She would provide alcohol to them, talk about sex with them, try to get them drunk," Knauth said. "It was obvious, at least to me, that she was grooming these other girls but that the other girls stepped out of the situation before something could happen."

The girl Foulk pleaded guilty to abusing had not been a student in any of her classes.

The student and substitute teacher lived in the same area, Knauth said, and Foulk befriended the student and her older sister.

The Enterprise generally does not identify sexual assault victims.

The press have been very kind to her by not even going there.

It's tired, Joan. Stop making excuses for HRC's inflammatory, racist comments.

Stop.

"what the AAUW fails to mention is that when you compare the achievement of boys and girls from similar racial and economic backgrounds, girls are outperforming boys by a wide margin. Boys get expelled from preschool at nearly five times the rate of girls, they get identified as being learning disabled or having behavior issues at four times the rate. They are twice as likely to get held back. They bring home more C's and D's on their report cards and according to the Centers for Disease Control, by the time American boys are sixteen years old, a full 14% have been "diagnosed" with an attention deficit disorder. Currently, there are 2.5 million more female undergraduates then male undergraduates, a gap that is growing by 100,000 every year. Yet here's the good news from the AAUW's report: "Among traditional age students (under age of 24), the gender gap favoring women earning an undergraduate degree appears only among students from low and middle income families." Only?

Even if girls rule in school, the AAUW's position is that it doesn't matters since men out-earn women in the work place. It's ironic but it is one of the enduring legacies of the feminist movement -- and indeed, some of the AAUW's own work -- that this kind of logic doesn't cut it with Americans anymore. These days, whether you make your home in a red states or blue state, most parents and teachers believe that all children -- girls and boys -- should have access to schooling that helps them meet their potential. "

How defensive of you. Courting is an old, sexist custom that needs to be discarded.

Today's empowered woman has no need of it.

Right to be required to sign up for the Selective Service? The right to presumptive joint custody in the event of divorce? The right to promote an Office of Men's Health at the NIH? The right to acknowledgment and protection of male victims of domestic violence? The right to equal punishment under the law of female child molesters?

Feminism is not about equal rights. It is about gaining benefits at the expense of men and children.
