Is “Sexting” Really A Public Problem?

February 24th, 2010 · 13 Comments

Passing perverse notes? Call me a bad seed or whatever, but I think this uproar over sexting is silly. If we didn’t have text [...]

Kent Ostrander, of the Family Foundation, sent out this urgent email blast about the importance of pasties: Yesterday we addressed The Ultrasound Bill – a sanctity of life issue.  Today we want to address public decency and The Public Decency Act – [...]

Thoughts on Rand Paul’s Attack Ad

February 24th, 2010 · 9 Comments

Yesterday Rand Paul released an attack on Trey Grayson. What sucks for Rand & David Adams, his campaign manager, is that they’re using footage of Grayson that they don’t have the legal rights to use. It’s video that I helped get produced – along with about 20 other organizations – discussing the importance of and [...]

Bill Bryant guest hosted on Friday’s edition of Comment on Kentucky and he brought up polling in the Democratic U.S. Senate primary: It would help if Bryant didn’t mislead television viewers, wouldn’t it?
