  • Carrie Prejean is seeking a book deal.
  • Gary Bauer says that Sarah Palin’s feud with David Letterman “proves conservatives can fight pop culture and win.”
  • Operation Rescue and other Wichita-based anti-abortion groups say they have received death threats in response to last month’s killing of George Tiller.

We applaud him for drawing attention to a grisly procedure that even the most hardened pro-choice Democrats in Congress oppose.
