Not a good day for news -

dracowayfarer, did you have this instructor for English while you were at UCR?

Wrote this fantastic book on values related to race.

Found dead in Long Beach - had been dead for days when he was found.

The irony of dying another statistic. When you assume death because of race...a popular, erudite college professor is not what comes to mind, is it?

CW factors in race and just shrugs.

(Check the percentage of while males that die by their own hand, by comparison. Most of them by firearm.)

That what YOU say! Nuh HUH! Nuh UH! Nuh HUH!

Up until now, the federal government followed the definition of pregnancy accepted by the American Medical Association and our nation's pregnancy experts, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, which is: pregnancy begins at implantation. With this proposal, however, HHS is dismissing medical experts and opting instead to accept a definition of pregnancy based on polling data. It now claims that pregnancy begins at some biologically unknowable moment (there's no test to determine if a woman's egg has been fertilized). Under these new standards there would be no way for a woman to prove she's not pregnant. Thus, any woman could be denied contraception under HHS' new science.

Yup. Let's rebrand contraception as MOIDER.

I've already stated - at length - just why I have the stance on the whole 'partial-birth abortion' issue I do (it's a scam...it's as bad as you think, as bad as ANYONE would think, and nobody used it outside a courtroom dossier, gimme a break here) - but this is just pure spite, poured on 'we're stupid and we're proud of it.'

Nothing more.

It's a definition - and tied to getting help from the government (which is US, after all, you me and the guy across the room). Really not the place for it. An abortion is a very invasive, no-doubt-about-it medical procedure with very directed results towards a verfied, really really, no doubt about it, pregnancy.

That's the only defintion I will ever accept. The rest is blowing smoke, and Johnny tattling on Bobby who doesn't close his eyes during prayer...and what were YOU doing Johnny, during prayer that you noticed this? I dunno?!

What a waste.

Someone picked new owners for their dog.

Except they didn't ask. They just tossed her over the fence and split.

Folks in Colorado, got space for a really sweet dog down on her luck?

..

I'd be angry, but I'm a realist at the end of the day. There's going to a lot more of this before there is less of it.
