Abortion: Missing the Point
Posted in Health on July 27, 2004 | 23 Comments »
Joe over at Evangelical Outpost has yet another post bemoaning the legality of abortion, this time obliquely using “property rights” as part of his argument: In order to win the moral argument we must begin by co-opting the language of the abortion movement. An unborn child is either part, person, or property: an intrinsic part [...]
Joe over at Evangelical Outpost has a highly scientific explanation of why boys (and, indeed, men) find flatulence so funny. Go check it out.
Please Enlighten Me

Over the weekend, we continued to receive comments critical of our position on the Jacobson story. Comments like this are typical: Yeah, okay, people who see suspicious activity (or think they might see suspicious activity) should just sit there like sheep, because, hey, the government always takes care of us.

O’Reilly claimed that the Paris Business Review proved his contention that the boycott of French goods — under his manly-man leadership — was seriously damaging the French economy. We liberals scoffed, pointing out that no one had ever heard of such a publication. Well, it looks like we owe O’Reilly an apology. The Paris Business [...]

This is the 9/11 Report’s chapter dealing with the months leading up to the attacks. I will have more to say on this after I have read the whole thing, but this section is not kind to the Bush Administration: A second cause of this disparity in response is that domestic agencies did not know [...]

Posted in Satire on July 22, 2004 | 3 Comments »
This is a Daily Show clip of a segment on the “Counter Clinton Library”. Two questions come to mind 1) When rightists talk about the “unprecedented” hatred of Bush, they really mean “unprecedented since we aren’t going to talk about the former Congressperson who thought up this nutjob library that has a room dedicated to [...]
