Any of my regular readers know that I get some hate. Just take a look at the comments section of most of what I write. Unfortunately, it goes with the flow of being a female conservative commentator. It’s not fun to be called names for presenting my viewpoints, but it is what it is, and I don’t let it bother me. 

It could even be considered a badge of honor -- a horrible, horrible badge of honor, but one that marks a True Conservative™. For some strange reason, people feel okay verbally attacking and threatening women that happen to align themselves with the Republican Party. As many attacks as I’ve personally experienced, they don’t begin to touch what some of my sisters in arms go through.

Jeremiah WrightThe lapdog media has decided that it will judge for the great "unwashed masses" which stories are relevant or not. It has deemed Jeremiah Wright irrelevant and is toeing the Democrat line by throwing out the race card, claiming that it's racist to discuss President Obama's pastor and spiritual counselor of twenty years.

Sorry, media, but the American people will decide what is relevant or not. And discussing the character of people with which a man surrounds himself is relevant, not racist. More importantly, there are allegations of a hush-money bribe. Exposing bribery is also not racism; it's called journalism.

Plenty of time has passed since last fall. But the case of Lisa Irwin, the baby girl from Missouri who disappeared under mysterious circumstances in October, hasn't gotten less bizarre. The child is still missing, and her parents are back in the news with claims that their stolen debit card has been linked back to a website that offers help in changing a person's (or baby's) name.

That made you sit up and pay attention, didn't? Only problem is, it's hard to tell if Deborah Bradley and Jeremy Irwin showed up on the Today show with this crazy story because it's the truth or if they made it up because they were hoping it would bring attention back to their daughter's case.

When a new president takes the oath of office, he gets to change things up from his predecessor. He gets to pick his own cabinet members and other advisors, he redecorates the Oval Office and his family’s living quarters, and in modern times, he gets to redesign the White House website to suit his tastes. 

Part of this President’s website redesign apparently included Obama inserting himself into the biography of every president since Calvin Coolidge (except Gerald Ford, for some reason). At the end of each section on a particular president in the last 100ish years, there’s now a “Did You Know” section relating some achievement of that predecessor to the current president.

Oh, magazine world, you so cuh-raaazy. First, you put a mother nursing her 3-year-old son on the cover of Time. Now, you put Obama on the cover of Newsweek, stick a rainbow halo over his head, and call him "The First Gay President." You so nutty, mag world. You so controversial. You so frickin' desperate!

Hey, I get it. No one buys magazines anymore. We all know everyone gets their news online. So you gotta get insaaaaane for anyone to notice you.

Okay, Time Magazine. You got us. You made us look. You got us talking. You outraged my Attachment Parenting friends with your photo ("So divisive!"). And you outraged me with that headline, "Are You MOM ENOUGH?" 

Ugh, Mom wars again? We're still recovering from that Ann Romney Mommygate! Why open fresh woulds?

But then I sat down and actually read the article. 

With the bold "breastfeeding" Time magazine cover the talk of the nation today, mom and "covergirl" Jamie Lynne Grumet and her almost 4-year-old son Aram appeared on The Today Show this morning to discuss the incendiary cover image and feature. But, contrary what to some might have been expecting, Grumet didn't hop up on a soapbox to preach about attachment parenting. She actually came off as exceptionally sunny, chill, pragmatic, and -- wait for it -- accepting.

Of her breastfeeding practices, Grumet admitted, "It's a big commitment, and it's not right for everybody, and I think that's the big thing. You need to do what's best for your baby." Wow! Wait a minute! So does that mean she's not the extreme-minded, holier-than-thou commander-in-chief of the "Mommy Wars" that haters have made her out to be in the last 24 hours alone? 

Well it's a good thing Vice President Biden likes watching the Tee Vee because apparently watching Will & Grace has made him way more open-minded about same-sex marriage.

Yesterday on Meet the Press, he said he was "totally comfortable" with same sex marriage. And he gives credit to the popular show for changing society's attitudes in America: "I think Will & Grace did more to educate the American public more than almost anything anybody has done so far. People fear that which is different. Now they're beginning to understand." So ... great! And ... oh brother.
