Top 5 Lessons Learned from Olivia Newton-John’s Films/Music
Yesterday, one of the most important women of my childhood celebrated a birthday–Olivia Newton-John. (This would have been posted yesterday, but my hosting server crashed. My apologies, Olivia!)

Ann Coulter: It’s Okay to Boo a Soldier
No doubt, many of you have already heard about the audience, who booed a gay soldier, at the GOP debate.
