Oh for God's sake! Are you still claiming that "legitimate rape" meant anything other than "women who aren't  making stuff up"?! Ever hear of Tawana Brawley? The Duke  Lacrosse accuser? Etc, including a  recent case in IL where a woman claimed a man dressed as a cop raped her in a cornfield only to find out she made the whole thing up? Sheesh.

Akin was merely quoting, nearly verbatim, an article from Dr. Mecklenburg published by Brent Bozell's "United for Life" group  in the '70s  as well as a whole chapter written by the president of "National Right to Life" (Willke) in the '80s. It's a widely held belief in pro-life circles, among the very upper echelons.

Will do. And I shoud add that I usually like Cal Thomas.  I like most  of them some of the time but that isn't enough to make my list.

I remember liking Heather MacDonald very much during the '08  election but forgot to keep up with her. Glad to be reminded so I can seek her out again.

@7, 22, 29, 32 - This is when the R/R campaign needs a "Plumbers" squad of AoS morons.  We could set up events at the Donk convention that would drive the dog-eating retard out of his mind.  I hope Preibus wasn't just blowing smoke out of his ass when he said that whatever they do to us, we'll do back twice as hard.  We'll see. . .

Anyway, only time for a short story today.  Got a lot on my desk to clean off, then have to prepare my voice (or what little there is of it).  The local theater got the first American amateur rights to the musical Sunset Boulevard, so I'm going to audition for the part of Max, Norma's butler (if you know the show / movie).  Wish me luck, 'rons and 'ronettes.

Here's the story -

One day, W.C. Fields was in his dressing room at Paramount when there was a knock on the door.  Putting down his booze and opening the door, Fields was confronted by two spinsters dressed in black.  They told him they were canvassing for some Hollywood charity, and, as one of Paramount's most beloved stars, would he care to contribute?

"I am very sorry, mesdames," Fields rasped, "but I only give to one charity - F.E.B.F."

They looked at him in befuddlement.  "Febf?" one finally asked.  "Who are they?"

With a tip of the hat, Fields smiled, "Fuck Everyone But Fields."  And then he closed the door.

Hope you enjoyed that.  I'll make it up to you on Monday with the story of a young man who could have fucked the sexpot Clara Bow if only he'd been a little quicker on the draw.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone.

I try not to include religion with the politics.  To me they are separate issues. I would not kick her off the list because of atheism unless she did a lot of shit like push for taking down crosses, banning prayers at football games, etc.

I've relegated Noonan to an asterisk. She's just not noteworthy anymore. She writes like milquetoast at a tea party (not a Tea Party, of course) with flavors that change with the seasons. The best writing she ever did was when Reagan gave her notes. That was a loooong time ago.

"When Character Was King" was a great book. Everything since then has been shit.

There have been some lists of the  high-profile  Republicans/conservatives  who have attacked Akin, but here is a good list of those who have come out FOR him, and IME, they are   more important  since they are the leaders of the pro-life movement

Also, did you all catch Alveda King's (niece of Dr. MLK, Jr.) article? It was brilliant:

I particularly like this from Dianna West   b/c she demands an apology from Romney, etc.  TO  Akin. I know that won't happen but right now I am so pissed off with Romney AND Ryan for what they did not only to Akin but to pro-lifers in general, that I get sick  to my stomach  seeing either one of their faces right now:

Just as more and more voices are coming to Akin's defense, we'll suddenly stop talking about him? Great timing. Convienent even.

Saw this on Twitter. From the AP Stylebook:

forcible rape
A redundancy that usually should be avoided. It may be used, however, in stories dealing with both rape and statutory rape, which does not necessarily involve the use of force.     Why is the Associated Press trying to redefine rape? Why is the AP conducting a war on women? How much longer can we tolerate this hate group's existence?     bit.ly/T24zDB

In most cases the GOP has no control in the matter.  The courts here have ruled that as long as either Party use any State resources in holding primaries, then the State Legislature can control how the primary is run.

When the legislature here was controlled by Democrats they made the primaries open.  Since even though the legislature is now Republican many of them are ex-Democrats they have not been abler to change it back.

They sue every election and lose every election.

Morning, all!  

Count me among those who think Lance Armstrong is being railroaded.   Methinks     the cycling world's "proof" that Lance used PEDs is filed right next to the name and phone number of the guy who told Harry Reid that Romney didn't pay taxes for ten years.

Well, whatever Armstrong used or didn't use, it wasn't enough to show up in any of the tests.  Thus, good luck making the case that it had the effect of giving him some unfair advantage.

I don't know that this is necessarily an indicator of the internals.  I think they would do it regardless.  The continuous campaign has always been a strategy with this mob.  Remember in the early days the phone meetings with artists who received NEA funding asking them to incorporate pro-Obama themes into their works and the injection of pro-Obama material into the WH and State websites.  The campaign is injected into everything.  Obama isn't generally known as a respecter of laws, rules or traditions.

R the issue I have is that we are held responsible for EUrope's misdeeds by the left already.

   OK - I see your point.  But I don't agree that it would really hurt us.  Besides - the correct response at that time, when they bitch at us, is to give them a sidelong glance and suggest that they reconsider what they REALLY think we're capable of.  And then ask themselves - do I want to be next?

  If Europe does decide to finally do the right thing with their muz (I doubt they will) then we should turn it back on the Left.  They LOVE them some Europeans and think the modern ones can do no wrong.  I say we finally use it as a time to open up debate on the matter.  Why NOT wipe them out?  We'd all be better off.  After all - your European buddies are at it, and seem pretty OK with it all.  And look - unemployment is dropping, and their social servies budgets are greatly relieved.  Plus, you know how much the Muz hate fags - that's pretty evil, right?

   In the end, Europe eliminating their muz is good for them, good for us, and good for the world.  Alas - it is unlikely.

Gateway Pundit had an excellent graphic for the lead story of Akin helping to erase Romney's lead in MO.  It's gone now.  It was Akin's head on Honey Badger's body.

Of course women who are violently raped can get pregnant but its also not out of the scientific realm that the human body through evolution has developed defense mechanisms for any number of different types of things that occur in life.  It seems reasonable that unwanted and forced coitus could be one of those things.  Just as there are a number of actions that woman can take to make the chances of pregnancy more favorable, there are probably an equal number of things that can occur in a woman's body that decrease the chance of pregancy.  Does violent rape trigger some of those things? Don't know but it doesn't seem unreasonable.

But even if it can, and I think there is evidence that it does, it only will reduce the chances.  And I thought there have been posts here that have pointed out the chances of conception from a pregnancy and also chances from sex.  Rape was around 5% chance, and sex with consent was, IIRC, like 11%.  So it halves it. 

But that's something more for medical understanding of the body, and not for some attempt to make political points.   And I don't care if the chances of rape resulting in pregnancy were 90% less likely, if you're going and making a public statement that strongly infers, (and then attempt to fix it two days later by basically admitting you really did believe)  that if a woman got pregnant then she really wasn't raped, you done fucked up royally.

"Hell, Akin is already old news to everyone not planning speakers at the DNC or not actually in MO. And circular-firing-squad types expressing "concern" on conservative blogs."

I believe that its been pointed out that the 5% number is taken from women that are capable of conception, and is not including children not capable of conception.

And even if that 5% number was 1% or 0.5% its not something to be used like that jackass Akin did.

Witnesses said a man dressed in a suit and straw hat, later identified by police as Horace Coleman, shot two victims before dropping his gun and putting his hands up. He was then quickly arrested by court officers in the area who were on their lunch break, CBS 2′s Sean Hennessey reported.

Witnesses said the shooting occurred following a dispute between food cart vendors who were arguing over a spot. Investigators said the alleged shooter owns a water stand in the concourse area.

Yeah "tea party"

None of this stuff is worth giving to the schools. The printer, the ink cartridges for it cost as much as the whole printer. And the scanner probably has a mechanical drive issue since it won't scan. But after 5 years not worth fixing.

Was it a Lexmark?  I've seen them having printers that you can buy for about $20 and the cartridges costing just as much.

I am presently scrambling trying to make sure all my friends are ok.

I'm giving information here so I can keep my mind off the fact that some text messages aren't being answered....

So you have reason to believe all eight people involved in the shooting are your personal friends?

Not to mitigate the seriousness of this, but it's not exactly 911.  Chill out.

There is no freakin' way Obama wins Missouri unless boatloads of Evangelicals simply decide to stay home.  Which is possible, I suppose.

Look, I know some people  can't quite wrap their minds around it, but all polls are  about as reliable as coin flips at this time, I don't care who is conducting them.

Sources said this may have been an issue involving a disgruntled worker, DÂ’Auria and CBS News Senior Correspondent John Miller reported. It is unclear whether the company is located inside the Empire State Building or a nearby location.

“What we’re told is this involves co-workers and a disgruntled employee who showed up at the work place at the Empire State Building today, opened fire on a number of co-workers,” Miller told WCBS 880.

I thought only Rednecks solved things with guns?

Absolutely.  Google the Time article on Norway prisons.  They are more like Bed & Breakfasts.

I'd even debate the "time and place of their own choosing."   They'll fall apart when they simply can't hold together anymore, and choice be damned.   One   more bad winter    that cripples the economy   and it'll be over.

So far Obama has asked the Israelis not to bomb Iran until after the election.  And he's asked Russia not to make too many waves about missile defense until after the election.   And he's asked Europe not to boot Greece until after the election.      What's he going to ask China    to postpone?    The inevitable       breakdown of their untenable socio-economic    policies?

Caligula is looking up from his place among the fiery pits of Hell and saying, "Geez, that Obama guy sure has an ego."

Until that's proven (please God, please God, please God) I call bullshit.

Although, I believe it was AtC that put up the Wisconsin recall night pudding picture. Very impressive.

I don't give a shit about Lance Armstrong's Tour De Whatevers.  I just want to know how the US Postal Service can justify sponsoring a bicycle team to the tune of over $40 Million with tax payer money while they continuously show a red line of tens of billions each quarter...

Riddle me that...batman.

The Immigration Agent vs DHS will be very very interesting...

Can you be ordered, to break Federal Law?  Nuremburg and the Lt. My Lai trials decided that question for the US Military.... now this is the heart of the case here.

Obama did NOT change the Law... and knowingly allowing Illegals to stay here, is against Federal Law, and a Felony....

It's true.   You get your choice of lignionberry jelly or a warm blueberry compote when it's your turn to toss Fritz' salad.

Go to google/bing  in the "{search item} site:minx.cc" in the search box.

I believe this is the post you want:

"I have this urge to go at that squirrel's nest on her head with a flat iron like you can't believe."

You could turn it into a carnival event or fundraiser.

Actually, I think his tests were negative for the drugs tested.  Of course the fact that he didn't test positive for drugs not tested doesn't mean he is guilty.  It also doesn't mean he wasn't taking drugs that weren't tested.  That he passed the test is a fact.  The weight that should be given to that fact is what we disagree on.

I give it less weight than you do.  The sport knows that it can take years to develop tests to detect new drugs.  I think that is one of the reasons they keep B-samples.  Remember a few years ago when the French magazine got a hold of Armstrong's B-samples and said that they tested positive for drugs that weren't testable when the samples were taken?  I'm not asserting that as proof, but I think it highlights the limitations on drug tests.

Based on those limitations, the testamony of his teammates, and the opinion of someone whose opinion I respect*, I'm inclined to believe he did cheat. 

*At the time we had these discussions, I remained in the pro-Armstrong camp, so I didn't treat her opinion as conclusive.

Go watch Bigger Faster Stronger... USADA is a retarded organization that lost its credibility a long time ago.

Fact is all these althletes do something.  Blood doping is considered cheating but all one is doing is injecting their own blood back into their system to increase red blood cell count.  It's stupid.  You can get the same effect from living in the mountains or sleeping in an altitude chamber.  There's a long list of "performance enhancing" drugs that aren't on the "ban" list.  Every corner store is filled with Red Bull and Monster. 

There is an easy solution - anything goes.  If you win the damn race, you win, period.  The feds need to mind their own business and stop regulating PRIVATE sporting events!  Go watch the Henry Waxman interview with Chris Bell.  These are the idiots making these rules telling other people what to do.

And its amazing how there are so many here that are so incredibly clueless as to this.  Wanting to criticize Romney because of his immediate denouncing of the idiot.  Claiming that if you want him gone you are trying to suck up to the liberals.  And other stupid shit along those lines.  I don't know why so many are intent on wanting us to behave like we are supporters of Joe Biden and should just ignore incredibly stupid almost evil lines.

They have been chasing Lance for 12 years now. I don't blame him for saying enough is enough. The majority of people willing to say he doped are people who got caught doping. Landis just got sentenced for fraud I believe.

As for his samples, re-test them and see what the truth is. Then leave him alone.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the topic because nowhere do I see Michelle Malkin or Ann Coulter.  They're not subtle but substantial points are made.  Do I miss WFB and the original Geo F. Will, well yes.  But, Michelle and Ann are saying what needs to be said in words that everyone can understand.  I also put in a vote for P. J. O'Roarke.  There's nothing like a reformed hippy to set the record straight.  I spoke with him in Clayton, MO, back in the '90s.  I said, "Can I have an autograph?"  He said, "What do you want me to write?"  Ladies, he's an exceptionally handsome individual as well.

As for Lance, he remains "the man."  He and his team's efforts in the Tour all those years brought excitement to a sport that hasn't seen it since.
