Dennis says the new movie "Juno" is anti-abortion and pro-adoption.
A 17yo caller says the writer of "Juno" had been a stripper in Minneapolis.
Dennis: "That is hilarious. That is germane. I think a lot of people have a soft spot for strippers. Nobody thinks of them as a bad group of humans, just people who, at one point, were desperate for money."
"I’m convinced that movies are rorshachs tests."
Dennis talks to Robert Leahy, clinical professor in psychiatry at Weill Medical College of Cornell University and author of The Worry Cure: Seven Steps to Stop Worry from Stopping You.
Dennis talks to Steven Stark, cultural commentator for NPR and CNN and author of Meet the Beatles: A Cultural History of the Band That Shook Youth, Gender, and the World.
Are we really fat tubs? Sally Pipes wonders. The distortions of statistics by the government are shocking.
So long to the good old light bulbs. Say hello to the bad new ones. This is a story that has flown under the news radar, but one day people will take notice and they won’t be happy. Why didn’t GW veto the bill?
Mark Bowden is the author of Black Hawk Down and has a very clear understanding of who we are fighting. In reaction to the criticism to this piece, Bowden wrote a new one this weekend.
Vasko Kohlmayer writes for Front Page:
Following one of the Democratic presidential debates, Dennis Prager did something that Democrats normally condemn as a personal attack. He took the candidates at their word and quoted some of their statements.
The result was both startling and revealing. Many of the pronouncements made no logical sense. Others were completely detached from reality. The contenders often contradicted what they had said previously, and some even contradicted themselves from one sentence to the next.
When the subject of Pakistan came up, for example, Hillary Clinton opined about the connection between America’s security and democracy in the Islamic world: "There’s absolutely a connection between a democratic regime and heightened security for the United States."
This very idea, incidentally, has been the cornerstone of President Bush’s foreign policy ever since 9/11. But Democrats – Hillary Clinton included – have criticized it as misguided, naïve or worse. That night at the debate, however, she unblinkingly endorsed the very policy that she and her colleagues for years have denounced so venomously.
Clinton was not the only one caught in contradiction. Asked whether he would give driver’s licenses to illegals, Barrack Obama was both for it and against it:
When I was a state senator in Illinois, I voted to require that illegal aliens get trained, get a license, get insurance to protect public safety. That was my intention… I am not proposing that that’s what we do. What I’m saying is that we can’t — [interrupted by laughter]. No, no, no, no, look, I have already said I support the notion that we have to deal with public safety and that driver’s licenses at the state level can make that happen. But what I also know, Wolf, is that if we keep on getting distracted by this problem, then we are not solving it.
What to make of this? Obama was for giving driver’s licenses to illegals in the past, but he does not want to do it now. At the same time, he does want to do it now, because he thinks it will enhance public safety. But he also does not want to get distracted by this problem, because it would prevent him from solving it.
Such nonsensical statements were not isolated gaffes, but were representative of that evening’s discourse. In fact, Clinton and Obama were among the more coherent in the group.
