Closeted anti-gay politicians are able to inflict less damage, and we have a national media much more open to reporting on these stories. I have no regrets at all about the work I did."

Ann Coulter: Growing interest in soccer a sign of America's moral decay. "If more 'Americans' are watching soccer today, it's only because of the demographic switch effected by Teddy Kennedy's 1965 immigration law.

One can only hope that, in addition to learning English, these new Americans will drop their soccer fetish with time."
