Here is what I remember about ancient Spartan military practices: when boys are born, their mothers dunk them in wine. If they survive, they are then given to administrators who decide whether the kids are worthy of the Spartan heritage…the whole ten fingers, ten toes test. If not, they are killed.

Now, let me point out that I love Fox News. I love it for all the wrong reasons. Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity are beyond belief for so many reasons—and a little piece of me truly did die when I found out he is a New York Times #1 bestseller.
