By Selwyn Duke There currently is a debate raging over public nudity in San Francisco. It’s not what you think. It’s already entirely legal to parade about in the buff on the city’s streets, and no one is discussing the resurrection of indecent-exposure laws. Rather, the question is whether sanitary behavior — namely, posterior protection…

By Selwyn Duke It’s a bit like a supermarket manager dying of starvation or a bottled-water distributor dying of thirst: In the U.K., a former National Health Service (NHS) director died because she was forced to wait for medical care — at her own hospital. The Daily Mail reports: Margaret Hutchon, a former mayor, had…

By Selwyn Duke Many have heard about Dr. Kermit Gosnell, the West Philadelphia abortionist who was just indicted for the murders of a 41-year-old woman during a botched abortion and eight babies born alive. He committed his infanticide by taking the children and severing their spines with a pair of scissors. Yet, as unbelievable as it…

By Selwyn Duke People such as me are often accused of wanting to return to the 19th century. But, if the New York Times is right about a new trend, some on the Left want to go back to the Middle Ages. What is that trend? Avoiding soap, deodorant, and even bathing regularly. Today, though,…

By Selwyn Duke Living in New York has long cost an arm and a leg. Now dying there may cost a kidney and a heart. Under a proposed law, all state residents would automatically be enrolled as organ donors — without their consent. Proposed by Democrat Assemblyman Richard Brodsky, the law would presume consent and…

Bart Stupak Was for the Health Bill All Along http://youtube.com/v/URr68joWr1E In this video from last fall, it is apparent that Bart Stupak planned to vote for Obamacare all along, regardless of its provisions relating to abortion. Watch it and you'll see how he had already conjured up a convenient rationalization to justify his support. He…

By Selwyn Duke One thing we get with our mother’s milk today is revulsion for what civil-rights lawyers call “invidious” discrimination. For the civil-rights lawyers who attained their status through the invidious discrimination known as affirmative action, the parenthesized word means “likely to create ill will” or “offensively or unfairly discriminating.” Now, the problem with…

By Selwyn Duke Spanking is like milk: It does a body good — or at least a mind. No, this isn’t the conclusion of traditionalist parenting expert Dr. James Dobson but the finding of a study conducted by psychology professor Marjorie Gunnoe at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan. FoxNews.com reports on the story, writing,…
