"Drunk Girl"
The song may appeal to those "traditional" (i.e. social conservative) Americans who love chivalry and to women and feminists who love chivalry but is it too blue pill? Does a man have an obligation to help a drunk girl get home? Why isn't it the obligation of the university or college (if she is a college student) or of her dorm RA? I suppose they wouldn't want such a responsibility, and even claim that they don't have it. But isn't it their job to prevent rape (or regretful consensual sex)? Maybe he should call her parent/guardian. But what if he/she/xe is not living in close proximity? Perhaps every drunk woman should have a tag with the contact info of a designated friend who will take her home.
Would Chris Janson really raise a daughter who engages in such risky behavior?
I find it funny that another of his recent songs is "Fix a Drink."

The "New" Pro-Life Movement
The New Pro-Life Movement: Been There, Done That by Peter Wolfgang
The manifesto sounds like it could have been written by the r-selected soft Catholics over at Vox Nova. It is good that Rebecca Bratten Weiss is gone from Steubenville; she should hold no position at a Catholic school or teaching authority.

Something for Yesterday
The Abbeville Institute: Comparing Constitutions
By James David Altman
Southern leaders had few complaints with the old Constitution under which they had lived. The heart of the conflict, they felt, was that the intent of the written law had been subverted by Northern sectionalists.… »
