Lancaster, PA, USA. It’s an old political proverb: no one runs for vice president except everyone running for president. Okay, we made up that last part.
The actual adage is shorter: no one runs for vice president. But that is patent nonsense. Although they’ll deny it to the bitter end, presidential candidates often end up hoping their party’s nominee will pick them to run as vice president.

 Lisa Jain Thompson Sunday, 26 June 2011 Fairfax, VA, USA. One could say that a transsexual’s person is her whole being, a thing apart for a transgender. [N1] Therein the difference between the two.
Political gender activists would have you not read this. If they could, they would forbid me to write the preceding paragraph. After all and at the very worst, men and women born transsexual are only God’s second mistake.

 Maureen Hennessey Tuesday, 21 June 2011 Washington, DC, USA. First of all, I was asked to express these thoughts on behalf of a group of Lesbian friends and associates. Some of them belong to an organisation of "quiet activists," women of some professional prominence who use their networks of friends and associates to lobby for or to influence policy.
While some of these concerns I do share, I do not share all of them.

 Lisa Thompson & Sharon Gaughan Sunday, 19 June 2011 Fairfax, VA, USA. Suzan Cooke has written an eloquent and closely reasoned column on her blog, I am not Afraid of the Root Word, Sex, in the Word 'Transsexual', that is well worth your attention.
TS-Si believes her latest effort should be read by a wide audience. Interested readers should visit her blog site, Women Born Transsexual, and read Ms. Cooke’s latest. [cf. Citation]

 Lisa Jain Thompson Sunday, 19 June 2011 Fairfax, VA, USA. This just in: the social media is not an island. Every post is a piece of the continent, a part of the main we call society.
The right to privacy does not exist once words are posted to the internet. No one can hide from those who understand the workings of the world. “Private” photos might as well be distributed directly to everyone on the web.

 G. Terry Madonna & Michael L. Young Sunday, 19 June 2011 Lancaster, PA, USA. According to an old cliché, there are no dumb questions. But we’re asking one that might seem dumb — one that challenges some cherished assumptions about politics, presidents, and elections.
The question is this: What matters in choosing among presidential candidates? Does it matter if someone is ignorant of U.S. history, prone to eccentric views, belongs to an unfamiliar religion, doesn’t always speak correctly, gets confused about facts, or is given

 Maggie Fox Wednesday, 01 June 2011 Machester, UK. If you are woman you will laugh and understand the title; if you are a man — probably not! It also neatly summarizes the problem women born transsexual face.

 Lisa Jain Thompson Sunday, 22 May 2011 Fairfax, VA, USA.That Bobby Dylan is turning 70 this month astonishes me. Depresses me. Reminds me I wrote my first column about him over the summer in 1965 when I was just 17 and Dylan was barely electric.
The teacher who nominally moderated the hi... |

 G. Terry Madonna & Michael L. Young Sunday, 15 May 2011 Lancaster, PA, USA. It will always be remembered as the day Americans learned that archfiend, terrorist-in-chief, Osama bin Laden was dead. Millions rejoiced,rightly, at the death of the very embodiment of 21st century evil.

 G. Terry Madonna & Michael L. Young Monday, 02 May 2011 Lancaster, PA, USA. It’s been a mystery worthy of Sherlock Holmes. How does Pennsylvania do it?
How does a state that has long been a political colossus in national elections and hugely important in presidential politics fail so dismally, elec... |

Lisa Jain Thompson Sunday, 01 May 2011 Fairfax, VA, USA. A columnist must be mentally nimble, a lover of naked rugby, agile without constraint. Editors must be viewed as a necessary evil but one that in an ideal world would be seldom needed.
We are, after all and unlike Shakespeare, all ... |

Tony Phillips (Science@NASA) Friday, 29 April 2011 Pasadena, CA, USA. More than 30 years after they left Earth, NASA's twin Voyager probes are now at the edge of the solar system. Not only that, they're still working. And with each passing day they are beaming back a message that, to scientists, is b... |

Maggie Fox Thursday, 28 April 2011 Manchester, UK. For far too long now a small but vociferous lobby group of transgender queer advocates have held sway in the United Kingdom. Readers, including those in the US, may ask so what?
It is essential to know their basic deception: gender i... |

 Sharon Gaughan Sunday, 24 April 2011 Weston, CT, USA. On 14 December 1807, a "globe of fire" flashed south across Vermont and Massachusetts, culminating in three loud explosions at 6:30 in the morning over Fairfield County, Connecticut.
In their everyday lives, most people relied on as... |

 Lisa Jain Thompson Sunday, 24 April 2011 Fairfax, VA, USA. Social conservatives use the term Homosexual Agenda to describe the advocacy of cultural acceptance and normalization of non-heterosexual orientations and relationships. Sort of like the Heterosexual Agenda but with less vaginal pen... |

 Rev. Cathryn Platine Saturday, 23 April 2011 Palenville, NY, USA. As the transgender movement pushes itself more and more on the public this question has become more and more important to feminist women: How can you tell trans people from women, where do you set the bar? This has proved out as ... |

 Sharon Gaughan Sunday, 17 April 2011 Fairfax, VA, USA. The essence of America and what we can bring to the world lies before us, but you wouldn’t know it from the behavior of Democrats and Republicans. The two great engines of our political will ignore the public interest, burnish the... |
