Palin Plays the Left ... Again

"Now, who looks stupid?" asks LA Times blogger Andrew Malcolm. Palin knew more about Paul Revere's evening activities than reporters, who "ran off like Revere to alert the world to Palin's latest mis-speak, which wasn't."

Palin shows all conservatives how to "Flumox Intellectually Lazy Liberals," writes blogger AJ Strata: "Palin has discovered a great weapon against the Left.

"In a feminist movement that is often fighting simply to hold ground," she writes, "SlutWalks stand out as a reminder of feminism's more grass-roots past and point to what the future could look like." Arguing "SlutWalks have become most successful feminist action of the past 20 years," Valenti unwittingly confirms how utterly dead today's feminist movement is.

CBLPI Alum Laura Elizabeth Morales Rocks Texas

The Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute summer internship program was ideal for a heavily involved student activist like Laura Elizabeth Morales. In 2007, Laura was facing a growing backlash on her University of Texas-San Antonio campus for being a bold outspoken conservative.
