Steve Yoder For all its fumbling, the Bush administration has one achievement of note: it has persuaded the American public that premarital sex is a risky behavior for teens, akin to smoking or gang activity. Given the intensity of the administration's abstinence-until-marriage campaign, few were surprised when in February 2007, the Journal of Youth and Adolescence, a professional research journal, published a study reporting that adolescents who had sex were 58 percent more likely than were virgins to commit a delinquent act (up to one year after sex). But Paige Harden, a doctoral candidate in psychology at the University of Virginia, didn't buy it. She and her colleagues narrowed the original study's data to compare only identical twins who were raised together but started having sex at different ages. That step automatically controlled for variables such as family and school environment. Their findings, which will appear in the same Journal of Youth and Adolescence this spring, were startling: Twins who had sex earlier than their twin siblings were less likely to become delinquent. Harden's wasn't the only recent study to loosen the administration's chastity belt. In the January American Journal of Public Health, a team from Columbia University linked delays…

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright taunted a gathering of journalists Monday in Washington, D.C., calling their coverage of his speeches an attack on the black church, while defending his claim that the U.S. was responsible for the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Wright, the controversial former pastor of Barack Obamas church, took dead aim at the U.S. government Monday saying American soldiers in Iraq have died over a lie and calling the war unjust as he called for reconciliation and understanding between blacks and whites. Wright was speaking at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. as he continues a...

Appeal Refocused Amid Tight Race After Clinton Win ANDERSON, Ind. -- Barack Obama recast his call for change by speaking more directly to voters' economic concerns as polls show him in a dead heat with Hillary Clinton in Indiana.

Campaigning in central Indiana, which has been hit hard by plant closings this decade and where unemployment is two percentage points above the national average, the presidential candidate spoke about how he...

Another unsavory obama associate, official blogger a communist?

Fetched: April 28th, 2008, 8:48am PDT

Tags: [edit]

The list of Barack Obama associates that hold views that clash with mainstream America is getting longer every day and now we can add another notch in the "anti-American" column of Obama campaign workers and supporters.

Is this a case of the media not vetting another Obama associate? Why have we not heard of this man before...

MOSCOW The United States Army has begun a broad review of procedures used to supply security forces in Afghanistan and Iraq with foreign arms, prompted by an allegation of fraud and questions about the competence of the main private supplier of ammunition to Afghanistan. The company, AEY Inc. of Miami Beach, was suspended last month after Army investigators accused it of shipping aged Chinese rifle cartridges and claiming they were Hungarian. The Army decided to review its contracting procedures as several arms-industry officials said that long before the suspension, it was clear the Army had erred by not recognizing...
