Rebuttal

In a move critics have attacked as a "circus" for the media, a nine-week-old fetus is set to "testify" in favor of a bill in Ohio that would outlaw abortion.. Janet (Folger) Porter, President of Faith2Action, claimed that the fetus will be the "youngest ever to testify"

She's wrong. Right after I masturbate we will have 2 million rebuttal witnesses we would like to call to the stand. They will be the youngest ever to testify. Please prepare the microscope and clear the next 5 years to view them all.

Just Not MY Mexican

AUSTIN, Texas -- The latest bill addressing illegal immigration and the hiring of undocumented workers in Texas would broaden the scope of employers subject to scrutiny — and extend the penalties for violators to include possible jail time and thousands of dollars in fines. Maids and gardeners would be exempted.

Because if not, every rich conservative would end up in the clink. What a bunch of assholes.

Not In China

WASHINGTON – The Republican budget proposal to sharply cut federal spending would cost 700,000 jobs through 2012, according to the independent analyst Moody's. In a new report obtained Monday by the Washington Post, Moody's Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi analyzes the House Republican budget proposal cutting spending by $61 billion this year and projects that it will curtail job growth.

Well, here anyway. Republicans are actually pretty good for job growth in China and India.

War Criminals

WASHINGTON – Lawrence Wilkerson, Colin Powell's ex-chief of staff said Thursday the former Secretary of State was lied to and manipulated by Vice President Dick Cheney into justifying the US invasion of Iraq. The primary justifications offered by the Bush administration for invading Iraq were that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction and had possible links to Al-Qaeda. Both turned out to be false.

Cheney was also hanging out at the CIA and putting heavy pressure on them to give him what he wanted. And when all that wasn't enough they opened up their own intel shop to better cook the books. There's no way to escape the conclusion that this crew deliberately lied this nation into war. And if they're not held to account there will be no deterrent against others doing the same thing in the future.

Not Sure They've Thought That Through

Earlier this week, State Rep. Phil Jensen (R-SD) introduced the bill, which would have added language to current South Dakota law specifying that, in some circumstances, killing someone in defense of an unborn child is "justifiable homicide." Currently, the law allows for murder as self-defense, or in defense of someone whose life appears to be in danger.

This seems to be some kind of Bush Doctrine on behalf of a fetus. But if this principal can be applied to a fetus, it could certainly also be used to justify murder to protect the life of a doctor that performs abortions. In other words, if somebody was putting doctors that perform abortions under threat by let's say proposing a law that could get them killed, by this principal it would be "justifiable homicide" to murder them.

Protecting Their Private Petting Zoo's

Republican Conference Secretary John Carter (R-Texas) is trying to build momentum for a Congressional Review Act (CRA) challenge to a recent regulation that requires insurers to spend at least 80 percent of their premium dollars (85 percent in the large group market) on healthcare services.

Healthcare executives take our healthcare dollars and use them to buy everything from multiple mega-mansions and private petting zoo's to elections. At the same time they maximize profit by spending as little as possible on actual healthcare. It's no wonder the Republicans are going after this critical provision or the new healthcare law first. They need to make sure their sugar daddy's at the insurance companies have the cash to fly around in private jets and bankroll their campaigns.

Contrast And Compare

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) noted this morning that President Obama and the Democratic Congress have created “more jobs in 2010 than President Bush did over eight years.”
