[...] Fern Sidman interviews the author of "The Manchurian President: Barack Obama's Ties to Communists, Socialists and other anti-American Extremists." [...] Although Horne had four decades of show business under her belt the first thing I think of when I hear her name are those appearances on Sesame Street. [...] An interview with Dr. Marvin Belsky of the Human Rights Coalition Against Radical Islam. [...] In her new autobiography, Palin explains why some of her media interviews did not turn out well, calls out McCain staffers, and gives conservatives the meat and potatoes they crave. [...] Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner may not be the "conservative candidate" in California's gubernatorial race, but he is the most conservative of the three leading Republican candidates. [...] Leslie Carbone is a throwback to an earlier time, but an intelligent and informed throwback, showing us by example what too many in America have lost in terms of attitude, drive, and self-confidence. [...] One minute we might be discussing Viet Nam, the next minute it might Jesuit priests in South America, the next it might be 17th century interpretations of the occult.

Nathan was a [...] Parallels between Albert Camus' The Fall and the Chappaquiddick incident are eerie and irresistible.
