Newt Gingrich just walked to the podium with an Etch-a-Sketch in his hand.

Etch a Sketch is a great toy but a losing strategy. We need a nominee w/ bold conservative solutions. http://t.co/... #RomneyToys

What Romney's Dog Says About Romney


What Romney's Dog Says About Romney

Walter Shapiro looks at the story of Mitt Romney's dog Seamus "heroically riding for 12 hours in a dog carrier atop the family's station wagon during a 1983 vacation to Canada" and says it has less to do with his treatment of animals than it does his treatment of people.

"What gives the Seamus story legs (four) is the inadvertent glimpse it offers of Romney's rigidity. For all the natural parental annoyance with the constant are-we-there-yet demands and the bodily needs of five boys on the trek to Canada, it is a rare father who would so zealously limit bathroom and food stops. Remember: The Romneys were not exactly desperate refugees racing to get across the Canadian border before they were stopped by the authorities. They were an affluent American family on vacation, but with all the spontaneous joy of an automotive assembly line. Seamus was collateral damage. What matters is the suck-it-up discipline that Mitt Romney tried to impose on his family."

"People are not cyborgs -- they have human needs, including a propensity for rest stops and, in politics, healthy egos. But an awareness of these personal factors does not seem to be part of the Romney repertoire."

see?

I hope you do, because that's what (it seems like) everyone else sees, whether I look like that, or this:

which is actually how I look, more often than not. if not that, then preppy pastels in this season.

it doesn't matter, apparently.

the Trayvon Martin killing is really affecting me, even more than I thought it would when I heard about it weeks ago. it seems like a repudiation of the psychic gains black American males made on November 2, 2008. it FEELS like a deliberate "get back in your place, nigger!" to all those like me in this country.

Welcome TO Sanford, Florida

Oh, please.

But the lawmakers who crafted the legislation in 2005 - former Sen. Durell Peaden and current state Rep. Dennis Baxley - said the law doesn't need to be changed. They believe it has been misapplied in the shooting death of Trayvon by a Sanford crime-watch captain, George Zimmerman.

Their argument is that Zimmerman doesn't qualify for the protection because he wasn't confronted by Martin. Zimmerman was the one doing the confronting, and did so even after the police department explicitly told him to back off when he called to report a suspicious Black man wandering around the gated neighborhood.

Oh, please.

Anyone with two working brain cells could have foreseen that some nutter cop-wannabe with a racist view of the world would use the law to go hunting down strangers of the wrong color who wandered into their neighborhood. It was precisely this kind of foreseeable consequence that so worried police officials in Minnesota. Such a law moves the impulse to shoot-to-kill from last to first place in self-defense options.

And the result of such a law is the death of a young man guilty only of walking while Black.

Rep. Terri Proud R-Tucson e-mail: Make Women-‘Watch An Abortion Being Performed’ Prior To Having It'

Women Should ‘Watch An Abortion Being Performed’ Prior To Having It

An opponent of HB 2036 e-mailed her lawmakers to voice her opinion. The Tucson reader shared the response from Rep. Terri Proud, R-Tucson. The reader called the e-mail "most inappropriate for someone who makes policy decisions for women in this state."

The e-mail, which has not been edited, said:


"Personally I'd like to make a law that mandates a woman watch an abortion being performed prior to having a "surgical procedure". If it's not a life it shouldn't matter, if it doesn't harm a woman then she shouldn't care, and don't we want more transparency and education in the medical profession anyway? We demand it everywhere else.

Until the dead child can tell me that she/he does not feel any pain - I have no intentions of clearing the conscience of the living - I will be voting YES."
