Unfortunately for Bachmann the base she appealed to also thought a woman should be in either the kitchen cooking or the bedroom servicing her man when she wasn’t homeschooling the children or cleaning the house.

There’s a new feature in the Pages posting form - a “Title Case” button that will automagically take your current title and apply some sophisticated rules to capitalize it according to the usual standards for title case, leaving words like ‘a’ and ‘the’ uncapitalized. It’s a pretty smart routine that handles most of the edge cases (e.g. words like “iPod” and “vs.”).
Very handy for making your titles pop out. I recommend it to all Pages authors.

It’s been a fun ride watching the flavors of the month in the Republican Primary race to the front:
Trump, Bachmann, Perry, Cain, Santorum, and Gingrich all had their 15 minutes as the GOP’s “front-runner”. (Did I miss anyone?)
Unfortunately for all of the above, it only matters who’s the flavor of the month NOW. Mitt has been a smart enough campaigner to not sprint to the front of the pack during a marathon.

Santorum never really had a 15 minutes, or at least not as long as the other Not-Romneys. He’s had lukewarm support at best, and only after Iowa. No, he’s never going to be the flavor of the month, especially if he drops out after Florida.

Kuhner is, if not a birther himself, certainly not averse to playing cards out of the birther deck.
[Link: www.washingtontimes.com…]
Mr. Trump is demanding the president reveal his long-form birth certificate. The real estate mogul believes Mr. Obama is deliberately withholding embarrassing or damaging information.
Since Mr. Obama’s 2008 election, the liberal press corps has treated the issue as a fringe movement - composed of extreme right-wing conspiracy kooks. The establishment media have even negatively labeled them as “birthers,” suggesting they are equivalent to Holocaust deniers or those who believe the Earth is flat.
WHY MIGHT THAT BE, I WONDER. That darn liberal press corps.
Yet, the issue has profound ramifications. Mr. Obama has been the most secretive president since Richard Nixon. In fact, much is still not known about Mr. Obama’s past. His medical records, academic records and thesis as an undergraduate student all remain hidden from the public. This is not trivial. Rather, it is crucial to understanding the man occupying the Oval Office - his background, worldview, intellectual influences as a student, academic performance and overall physical ability to do the toughest job in the world. The American people have a right to full disclosure about their commander in chief.
And it goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on.
