...still waiting for that last stage of acceptance of the obvious truth that abortion raises the risk of breast cancer. You said it quite eloquently: "Experience of the millennia, indeed child-like common sense, frequently informs reality."That science at its best proves the obvious is something I learned long ago. And here's another newly learned truth: Almost all diseases that make us sick and die these days are traceable to chronic inflammation, and almost all chronic inflammation is traceable to glycine deficiency. That's why I formulated Proglyta, which cures the deficiency every day: Get it at proglyta.com

Oh please, Mike! It's not moral confusion--just political calculus. But thanks for your brilliant metaphor. It explains the radical feminists' view that the trouble with men is that all of us, merely by being men, remind these women of rapists.

I understand that McCaskill and the Dems actually contributed lots of money to Akin's primary campaign. He took the money and the votes (of cross-over Democrats) and was proud of his 6-point margin of victory. I'm not sure exactly how much money was involved, but I think it was about 30 pieces of silver...

Hey Mish, Those sports stories are full of redundancies and other errors: "Friona fell 10-8 to Boys Ranch in five innings on Monday at Friona despite racking up seven hits and eight runs." (We already knew, from the score, that Fiona had scored 8 runs.) And the bullpen limited the opponents to "only no runs"? Methinks these here robots ain't yet got the hang of certain subtleties of the English language. Hey robot!! Speil Czech thyss!

Eighty days? Try 155 days: It's another 75 days after the election until the man is out of office...If he leaves peaecably, that is. Don't you think, if it's close in a state that makes the difference, like Ohio, that the Administration will parade some toothless old black woman, whose grandpa was a slave, shreiking about how she was not allowed to vote because she had no drivers license? "You mean my vote don't count?" You think it's beyond Eric Holder's Chutzpah to invalidate the vote in any state?

I wonder if this money will actually get spent, with all the peparwork needed to actually implement the program. The big giveaway "homerun" for Team Obama was the back door amnesty. Now that they can get drivers licenses, they will be able to vote illegally for Obama, even in states with photo-ID voter laws. Florida comes to mind...

...and we know why he picked Biden--not Hillary--as his running mate. Biden was his best insurance against assassination, whereas Hillary would have invited it.

Perhaps the most marvelous aspect of the Ryan pick--that no one seems to have noticed yet--is that he actually united the GOP establishment and conservative/tea party/evangelical factions, as Ryan has the admiration and approval of both. Enthusiastically united behind a solid "comeback team", the GOP will hand Obama a devastating defeat on Nov. 6.

Funny how your last "PS" sentence contradicts your first sentence!
