When are you going to get married?  What was wrong with your last boyfriend?  These are the kinds of interminable questions unmarried women over the age of thirty are subjected to. Just yesterday my father asked me for the umpteenth time if I would ever find a husband. “When I meet someone I … [Read More]

Mark Levin is one of the most popular conservative voices in America. His radio program reaches 6 million listeners weekly and his latest book “Liberty and Tyranny” has been on the New York Times bestseller’s list for 14 weeks and counting. When my critical review of Levin’s book was published at Taki’s Magazine earlier this month, I curiously wound up on … [Read More]

When Republicans were warned not to give Sonia Sotomayor the drubbing Democrats gave Robert Bork and Sam Alito—lest they be perceived as sexist and racist by women and Hispanics—the threat was credible, for it underscored a new reality in American politics.
