Roger Ebert Tweets Rebuttal to Christine O'Donnell's Evolution Comments

(Sept. 27) -- From witches to monkeys. No, it's not time for another "Wizard of Oz" retrospective, but you could be forgiven for thinking as much given the amount of attention surrounding current Delaware GOP senatorial candidate Christine O'Donnell's prior life as a TV pundit or, more specifically, a few of her key controversial comments about said topics. Over the weekend, Bill Maher aired a 12-year-old clip of O'Donnell on his previous show "Politically Incorrect," in which she argued that "evolution is a myth" and asks "Why aren't monkeys still evolving into humans?" To answer her ...

Does O'Donnell Want the Whole Country to Stop Having Sex?

(Sept. 24) -- Stop, in the name of love? In newly unearthed video footage taken from a 2003 taping of the MSNBC show "Scarborough Country," Delaware senatorial candidate Christine O'Donnell is shown debating the topic of sexual abstinence and appears to suggest that the whole country should give up sex (presumably the premarital kind). The exchange came with Eric Nies of the Moment of Hope Foundation, a group that seeks to educate young people about safe-sex practices.

Get On Down, Moses: The Exodus and American History

By  James Daubs - Politics Daily
Get On Down, Moses: The Exodus and American History

Review of Bruce Feiler, America's Prophet: Moses and the American Story (New York: William Morrow, 2009). 368 pages. $26.99. Bruce Feiler must have had a great many unused notes on Moses lying around after he finished his best-selling "Walking the Bible: A Journey By Land through the Five Books of Moses." I honestly can think of no other reason for his coming out with "America's Prophet: Moses and the American Story," which resembles nothing so much as a heavily padded term paper -- padded with dialogue and narrative, that is, not with documentation -- by a student whose teacher taught him the ...
