Some mystery organization, which only wants us to know the truth, has put out a handy-dandy Roe V Wade IQ test, 12 simple questions designed to test your knowledge of the 1973 Roe V Wade judgment. Alternately, this quiz will also test your understanding of what exactly judges do when they issue a ruling. [...]

Ezra’s post slamming Obama’s wimpy stand on health care (largely because his plan isn’t universal and still would require us to pay premiums) hits the nail on the head. He correctly lambasts Obama for failing to capitalize on his chance to become — using Ezra’s analogy — the Reagan of the left.

Here’s something neat that you can read in preparation for your inevitable incarceration in Guantanamo Bay—a U.S. Government-funded manual on psychological torture, published in 1961 by John Wiley & Sons.*
It begins with “don’t try this at home” reassurances:
This work might help the armed forces to offset the lack of knowledge that was in part held [...]

How exciting! The CIA has released 700 pages of “responses from CIA employees to a 1973 directive from Director of Central Intelligence James Schlesinger asking them to report activities they thought might be inconsistent with the Agency’s charter.” Thanks to the FOIA Electronic Reading Room, you can view the declassified documents from the comfort of [...]

See soldier fight.
See soldier kidnapped.
See soldier’s wife denied a hardship green card and possibly deported.
“I can’t imagine a bigger injustice than that, to be deporting [the wife of] someone who is fighting and possibly dying for our country,” [attorney Matthew] Kolken told WBZ.
I guess they figure either Army Spec. Alex Jimenez is dead and [...]

Let’s say you’re a terrorist. You want to plan a terrorist attack on a civilian airline. It’s going to be bigger, better, and way more deadly than September 11th. And to top it off, you’re going to hit Canada.
With your terrorist cell assembled in a dark basement, you rub your hands together, cackle wickedly, twirl [...]

In Mesa, Arizona, a man hit a woman so hard he gave her brain damage that eventually resulted in her death. The abuse also led to the death of her fetus.
His conviction and sentencing were handed down recently, and we should all be relieved that this criminal is behind bars.
We don’t have to be [...]

Our country’s obsession with fetal privilege is supposedly all about loving those darling clumps of cells. Punishing dirty girlz is theoretically just one of its side effects.
Ladies and gentlepeeps of the jury, I present to you people’s #1488760985770 in the case against this ridiculous claim: the story of Christine Hutchinson. Christine is being [...]

I didn’t write on this when I first saw it several days ago, which is good, because Twisty got a hold of it and said exactly what needs to be said:

The other day WaPo reported that some knob sports blogger, an excrescence who by definition exalts the basest impulses of his species, had posted a [...]

Poor Wyoming. If you had to order the states from most memorable to least, Wyoming would probably land in the low forties, nestled somewhere between Nebraska and Idaho. [Actually, scratch that -- Idaho's shape is quite memorable compared to our National Square of Wyoming.]
Point is, when it comes to Wyoming, there isn’t a [...]

Whew. I can sleep easier about the DoD putting on their NSA floppy ears and sniffing around my privates now that Dick Cheney has defended its legitimacy.
Though the Pentagon is forbidden by law from conducting espionage, the veep says their particular brand of financial and telecom “research” has been part of its portfolio for [...]

Ever have an argument about Roe v Wade with someone who is anti-choice but not particularly religious? Everyone knows the rub in R v W; that it doesn’t grant the unqualified right to an abortion. Instead it claims that the right to an abortion is part of a right to privacy which is [...]
