That apparently is the motto of Torrance Daily Breeze which Stacy McCain reports had this to say about the Republican Candidate in California 36th Mattie Fein

John:
Don’t call or e-mail us – we’ll call you if we’re interested. And if you haven’t got it yet, we’re not interested. And stop sending the same messages to my co-worker Art as well
Thank you.

Considering the way they have handled the sparse coverage they have given her it might be a plus for example:

From July 13th: Fein criticizes Harman over husband’s rumored purchase of Newsweek

Republican congressional candidate Mattie Fein has jumped on a rumor that the spouse of her Democratic rival, South Bay Rep. Jane Harman, is considering whether to purchase Newsweek magazine.

You don’t want to hear about that Mattie Fein: She jumps on rumors.! The fact that Sidney Harman actually did buy Newsweek is totally besides the point, she is a RUMOR MONGER!

Fein claims the Harmans would try to kill stories that were unflattering to the congresswoman or the Democratic Party. She cited a similar instance in 2004, when Jane Harman urged the New York Times not to publish a story about the National Security Agency’s domestic eavesdropping program.

See that Claims, she’s making claims just because that conservative organ the New York Times reported that conservative Newsmax was out of the bidding due to ideology doesn’t mean the husband of a democratic congresswoman would be partisian. Saying that would be like claiming we aren’t interested in what that rumor jumping claimant Mattie Fein has to say.

And people wonder why the newspaper industry is having trouble staying afloat?

Namely the Six degrees of John Paul II blog.

I actually can claim 1 degree having attended his mass in Boston with my Mother back in 1979. Boy was that day wet.

Casey Fiano explains the facts of life to a generation of mothers who were so positive that they knew better than their parents they they retained that belief even after they left their teenage years:

One culprit for why girls are so hyper-sexualized these days can be traced right back to the extreme sex education being taught in our schools, with the charge being led by femisogynists to keep the sex ed coming. Girls have been taught by the adults in their lives to embrace their sexuality, have been lovingly encouraged to explore their sex lives in new and innovative ways. The feminist extremists gush about the brilliance of giving their daughters vibrators, they teach middle schoolers how to have good sex. Planned Parenthood distributes sexually explicit brochures to Girl Scouts and teach 10-year-olds about anal sex. Children are inundated about sex from extremely young ages about sex, something that the femisogynists encourage, and yet they can’t understand why teenage girls are sleeping around?

And mom’s if you were counting on us parents of boys to hold them back, you sure have high expectations. Those teenage boys and twenty something men are naturally hardwired toward the goal of scoring. Do you realize how hard it is for responsible parents to teach their sons to hold off be respectful when the message from the girls at school is “Get it Here!”?

You did this to yourselves. I have sympathy for your daughters but I have a very hard time having sympathy for you. You wanted to fight the culture wars to get rid of “puritanical” standards of your parents and church. Congratulations you won! Enjoy your prize!

I’ll include you and your children in my prayers.
