Hillary Richard Rodham Clintxon

Some crazy person crawled out of his cave and threw a missive at Andrew Sullivan's window. He (let's just go out on a limb and assume a rabid Hillary hater is a He) wants Sullivan to know that Hillary Clinton is Nixon in a pants suit.

    I am surprised that the Politerati, or DC's chattering class, have not seen the parallels between Hillary Clinton and Richard Nixon. They both have brilliant strategic minds, suffer from extreme paranoia about the enemy of their agenda, and both are extremely secretive. ...

I'm not sure Hillary is the paranoid one here.

And, from one of Sullivan's trackbacks:

    If the Watergate Hotel hadn't been broken into Nixon would be remembeered as one of the greatest presidents of the twentieth century.

Meddling kids!

Quiverfull

So, this doesn't sound like a good idea:

    Rachel Scott, who calls herself a "one-woman Quiverfull activist," describes her conversion moment. One night after the birth of her fourth child--their third "oops" baby due to birth-control failures--when the prospect of tuition for four consumed husband Christopher and their pastor was urging vasectomy, Christopher saw a warrior angel in his dream. A "large, worrying warrior angel" with a flaming sword that he pointed at Christopher's genitals, telling him, "Do not change God's plan.

What's God's plan ? To have as many kids as you can. Why? Because they are soldiers in God's Army.

Awesome.
