When we use the term "Freudian Slip," it’s usually in reference to some ironic but meaningless slip of the tongue. We might poke some good-hearted fun at the possessor of the slipped tongue, but we know we’re making sport of him and don’t really attach much importance to his mistake. Yet, if ever there was a meaningful Freudian Slip, one that is both profoundly funny and bespeaks of a hidden Truth in a person’s heart, it was John McCain calling himself a "proud liberal."

Out of Britain comes a very sad, sad story. Emma Beck, an artist
tormented by having aborted her twins, was found hanging at her home a
day before her 31st birthday. Expressing her grief and regret in a
suicide note, she wrote: "I should never have had an abortion. I see
now I would have been a good mum."

Virtually all public universities maintain a prohibition against gun
possession on their grounds. But in the wake of the recent campus
shootings, this policy is coming under scrutiny. A chorus of activist
voices, such as an Internet-based group named Students for Concealed
Carry on Campus, is asking authorities to guarantee Second Amendment
rights at public universities. While the activists have a long hill to
climb — only Utah presently allows gun-permit holders to carry their
weapons at such institutions — 12 other states are considering
following Utah’s lead.
