In His Own Defense, Man Admits Killing Abortion... →
On the first day of defense testimony in the two-week-old trial , Mr. Roeder’s lawyers revealed that they wanted the jurors to take into consideration Mr. Roeder’s motive: his growing opposition to abortion, which he deemed criminal and immoral, and his mounting sense that laws and prosecutors were never going to stop Dr. Tiller from performing them.

While I agree with Paul, always, and would jump off a bridge if he did it first and would actually probably try to jump off at the same time as he did so I could give him a sweet blow job mid-air, the fact that this spending freeze represents a mere...

Big Babyism - Andrew Sullivan →
There it is. Right there. Sullivan coined it, and I’m going to start using it. Big Babyism.

charlietodd: This is a video made by some Midwestern State University college students that I randomly came across today. I love that they made a 9-minute documentary about the rise and fall of a Saved by the Bell character that appeared for one episode. The clip montages from the show are hilarious.

At Newark Liberty Airport last Sunday, a TSA agent left his post, and a young man walked past it to kiss his girlfriend good-bye. Then the young man turned and left the secured area and left the airport. So far no harm, no foul. But because the government’s surveillance cameras in the airport didn’t work, the feds panicked and ordered over 10,000...
