Band teacher who died in crash called heroine

Oct 13, 2009 - BOISE, Idaho - A Utah music teacher killed while trying to prevent the crash of a bus carrying dozens of her students was hailed as a heroine. Heather Christensen, 33, a woodwind instructor at American Fork High School, was killed Saturday night when the bus veered from Interstate 15 and rolled south of Pocatello, where the band had won a competition hosted by Idaho State University. Christensen, of Spanish Fork, Utah, left her seat to grab the steering wheel after seeing the bus driver slump over, students and colleagues said. - 4 Comments

Are Men Obsolete?

Sep 21, 2009 - By Robin of Berkeley July 22, 2009 http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/07/are_men_obsolete.html   When I snapped out of my left wing trance last year, I was lost in space.  I had no conservative friends and was clueless about web sites and books.     I had heard something vaguely about Talk Radio.  So I scanned my AM dial and found Michael Savage.  (It took several months, and a chat with a rather bemused new friend, before I even realized there were other hosts as well.)     Being a lifelong liberal, I'd never heard anybody like Savage in my life.  He yelled;  he called people "vermin."  He was unbridled masculinity, not the touchy feeling kind I was used to.  And he totally accepted himself:  his moods, passion, temper.     But what shocked me the most was his saying that men have become "feminized."  I'd never been so offended.  "Well, what's wrong with men being more feminine?"  I shouted back at my radio.  "Is there something wrong with femininity?"   Men being way more in touch with their yin and less with their yang sounded good to me. - 21 Comments
