when i was working on the book unnoticed there was a real fred running throughout american history fromvolutionary war onward, women in combat being controversial. you have politicians like james burke saying the only thing that distinguishes a citizen from a slave is the ability to bear arms in support of one's nation in a time of war and 200 years later with the equal rights amendment was defeated was largely because americans could not swallow the idea of women in combat. even as politicians were using this as a way of denying women full rights of citizenship there were plenty of pop culture representations of female soldiers weather in the early nineteenth century when you had trashy novels, pulp fiction about women who ran away to join their lovers and were discovered when they became pregnant all the way through cartoons in world war ii vet depicted sex starved maniacs who joined the military as a way of getting close to soldiers. and by the 80s and 90s you had images like g. gordon liddy stacked featuring women in bikinis holding assault rifles. but these were clearly not real fe

my old and dear friend fred burke steen, i love him, he said the same thing for 35 years. a cheap dollar will solve all our manufacturing and unemployment problems and reports from the kato institute suggest that when the chinese currency went up 20% in the mid-2000s, nothing happened. the deficit didn't change and exports didn't change and imports didn't change. are we going to start a trade war for an unproven currency theory? >> i really don't see that being in other side's best interest. right now china is still very conscious and how their experts are going to fair especially during 2008 when the european consumer really fell off the map. if you look longer term, there will be some benefit when they do appreciate and this will allow u.s. and european goods and goods across the country to become much more cheaper in china. wages are increasing, standards of living are increasing, as well. this will be in the consumption from the average chinese people will increase, as well. this will move them up where they're demanding higher end services. this will come from places

speaking of "the weekly standard" fred barnes wrote back in january, the health care bill obamacare is dead with not the lightest prospect of resurrection. and here is chris matthews with alan grayson telling him about the idea that health care could pass in the senate through reconciliation. >> reconciliation is 51 votes not 60 votes. >> nobody has done a program with reconciliation. just name the program that's ever been created through reconciliation. >> tax cuts -- >> that's not a program. you can raise taxes or cut program spending. you cannot create something. >> videotape is a wonderful thing, isn't it? >> there's nothing -- it's not that matthews turned out that he was wrong, it's that he's mocking his guest for taking this position. >> it's a good thing in the end that chris didn't run for the senate, because the rules got away from him there. >> mr. television critic? is that good television? >> it's great television. it's incredible television. are you kidding? it also shows -- it also shows what -- how foolish cable television cans will be in this. and that's part of the la
