JWF has some background on the Georgetown Law student who is challenging Georgetown's contraception policy.  She went to the law school knowing the university's policy, and per JWF, intending to challenge it. Unfortunately, Rush walked into this one without seeing the set up, and now the...

Take one Bibi a Day and you will feel better. The Prime Minister of the Jewish State doesn't seem to feel the need to stick to Happy Generic Holiday which happens to arrive in late December every year and is not the one invented in the 1960s. It's a...
