Well, maybe. At least consider the Komen controversy well and truly #occupied: The Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation backed down from its decision to cut funding for Planned Parenthood, which provides abortion and birth control services, a move that had thrust the world’s largest breast cancer charity into

The Personal gets Political
Nearly two dozen US Senators have signed onto a letter urging the Susan G Komen Foundation to reverse its despicable and sleazy Planned Parenthood decision: The pressure on the Susan G. Komen For The Cure Foundation to reverse its decision to cut funding to Planned Parenthood for breast cancer screenings
Continue readingAll About the Timing
The movie “Pink Ribbons“, which explores breast cancer fundraising by groups like Susan G Komen, is being released tomorrow. Komen’s decision to cut funding to Planned Parenthood has been in the works for some time now; one top Komen official quit over it in December. As Dave suggests, the Komen

I’ve either got the flu or I’m nauseated by the Susan G. Komen/Planned Parenthood fiasco. I’ll take Door #2, SGK/PP, for $200 — the donation that will now go fucking directly to Planned Parenthood since Komen made the ill-advisedly cruel decision to aquiesce to the ideological pressure of fetus fetishists

It was a little like finding out your spouse is running around on you from someone in the cashout lineup at the grocery store. Indeed, it was absolutely doubleplus-awesome of Harpie to save for a hectoring speech he delivered in luxo-lux Davos last week the fact that Canadian Seniors are

Because sometimes there’s just no comment I could possibly *come* up with that would provide adequate snarkification. From Rick Santorum’s website, what is presumably a money raising promotion with the world’s greatest acronym: It’s still there as of 2:45 Pacific, so the Santorum campaign must be delirious with joy, imagining

Speaking of right-wing terrorism, here’s a little item that will reaffirm your faith in the inherent goodness of the human race… NOT. Yesterday the campaign manager for Arkansas Democrat Ken Aden arrived home with his kids to find the family cat dead on the porch, with the word “LIBERAL” scrawled
Continue readingReproductive McCarthyism and a new nadir of authoritarian dumbness
Frankly, it didn’t surprise me a bit that SUZANNE would be All In with the idea of publishing a database of personal information and photos of gynecologists and other reproductive health professionals whose services include — but are not limited to — abortion. How awesome she must imagine it would
Continue readingDreams & Schemes & Circus Crowds: On Teh Newticles
I usually find it’s helpful to try and see things from both sides, from left and right, from up and down, from win and lose… and still somehow… … I am utterly baffled and astonished by this: Newt Gingrich pulled off a dramatic upset over Mitt Romney in the South
Continue readingHappy Birthday Roe v. Wade
Let the shrieeeeeeekfest begin. Yeah yeah yeah. Today America celebrates 39 years of the right to reproductive choice, a hard-fought battle that continues to this very day in spite of choice being the law of the land. But in a press release today Pres. Obama vowed to protect abortion rights:

I certainly hope this doesn’t mean anything other than technical issues…

On what deranged planet would this be considered “counselling”?: Newsflash, fetus fetishists: the fence is there for a reason, and it’s not so your fat asses can get some exercise running up and down ladders. (via RealtinConnor on Twit)

Marianne Gingrich, aka Mrs. Newt Gingrich II, is warped, bitter, twisted and trash-talking at top speed as if the world doesn’t already know what Vile Scum with Snail Slime on Top her ex really is: Marianne Gingrich said she first heard from the former speaker about the divorce request as

Or to put it another way, 83.4% Batshit (and the jury’s still out on Ron Paul). Jon Huntsman, the only thing between the GOP Presidential Primary Field and its own category in the DSM-IV, has left run screaming from the building: Jon M. Huntsman Jr. informed his advisers on Sunday

The last word on this week’s Seinfeldian freakout goes to Red Tory: I wonder if all the indignant liberal folks appearing on TV and fulminating in blogs that have been asserting Harper and the Conservatives were nefariously plotting to undermine gay marriage by stealth utilizing the legal system will now
Continue readingIn which a good case is made for the aerial spraying of Prozac® over the Progressive Blogosphere
With all due respect, please… get a grip. Does anyone seriously believe this is part of Harper’s legendary Hidden Agenda®©™ to Destroy Gay Marriage? As opposed to maybe, err um you know, a goofy screwup of lawyerly semantics over some uncrossed “T”s and undotted “I”s in our relatively-new equal marriage

I feel a little sorry for the Democratic Party’s ad agency. By the time the Republican candidate is chosen and advertising for the presidential election campaign starts in earnest, they’ll be like the Maytag Repairmen of the Marketing World if the GOP keeps supplying moments like this: Woot! Probably not

Make no mistake: the frothy Rick Santorum is weird in ways that go light-years beyond grotesque. But when he obligingly provides so much material for his opponents to work with, I wonder if this aspect of his weirdness is appropriate fodder for televised political debate: During a segment on Fox
