I hate this. I hate thinking I need to teach my kids that the cops are not their friends, and are not looking out for them.

That's Great
My adopted home of Virginia is (deservedly, I'm sad to say) becoming the latest poster child for Stoopidly Brutal Government Intrusion. You may have heard that our legislature has decided women need to be punished and humiliated - to get their minds right and to keep their place - whenever they feel the need to terminate a pregnancy. If Gov McDonnell signs the bill, women seeking abortions will be required to submit to trans-vaginal sonography; and they will be required to view the pictures while being "counseled" by a clinician.
And the "procedure" has been given a name. We call it "The Virginia Rape". Now ain't that just wun-fuckin'-derful.
But guess who's defending this proposed atrocity - and with what kind of rhetoric?

Not that it needs a lot of translation, but here it is in case you missed it: "Any woman seeking an abortion is obviously just a slut who wants to have sex with any-body, any-time, any-where, any-way, so what's one more little poke in the twat to a hag like her?"
Nothing could put a clearer focus on the simple fact that the Right Radicals in this country are no different than the Islamo-Fascists they say we need to hate. As always, they are consumed by their zealotry, and they've become what they claim to despise.
There was a silent protest at the capitol in Richmond yesterday, and sources tell me there's a possibly huge push-back starting to gather steam among OBGYN clinicians. Fingers crossed.

Chickens Come Home To Roost
Gee - it's just like 1970 again. The cops are not your friends...

Sometime between the time he was arrested on March 27, 2009 around 2:00 p.m., and March 31 at 1:23 p.m. when he was pronounced dead, Christie had been sprayed with ten blasts of pepper spray, also known as OC (Oleo-resin Capsicum), which is a derivative of cayenne pepper....and the world is a ghetto.
