A proposed bill to ban sex-selection abortions and defund any organization that performs them was voted down in the House of Representatives by Democrats though under the rules it would have required a 2/3 vote. Representative Sheila Jackson Lee (D. TX) summed up the reasonable opposition to this horrible bill by saying it would result in women being dragged out into the streets by their hair. This heroine of the women's health care movement was the same lady that ignored a female town hall participant explaining her struggles against cancer. She further stated that this bill means the GOP wants women to go back to the days of coat hangers. That this person continues to get reelected is a mystery worthy of Sherlock Holmes.

Stop Questioning My Lies!
Senator Scott Brown (R.? Mass.) (closest thing we'll get to a conservative out of that liberal state), made an offhand remark about candidate Elizabeth Warren (D. Cherokee Nation) claiming she based her assertions of native American heritage on comments from her parents by saying his parents told him lots of things that turned out to not be true (i.e., Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Keynsian economics). Ms. Warren reacted as could be expected, lashing out at Mr. Brown for calling her parents liars. Which, if her claims are legitimate, they were, or at least mistaken.
The gist of this is that the false claims of Elizabeth Warren, which she says are based on her parents (and Aunt Bea, who managed to shake free of Opie when he made Apollo 13) representations, can't be questioned, because her parents are off limits. By the way, my dead great grandfather told me I was six three and physically fit. You can't question that.
You May Be Right, But You May Be Wrong
This is my first Billy Joel reference, but hey, it's hard to work these things in. The First Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was unconstitutional. They were right. But their reasoning was wrong. DOMA is unconstitutional because the federal government has no authority to be discussing marriage. This is a matter that should be left to the states. Republicans shouldn't be trying to define marriage any more than Democrats should. Aren't there slightly more important issues the federal government should worry about.
Reminder : I Don't Pick These Ads
Today I noticed an ad on this blog for an anti-Scott Walker site. I've noticed several pro-Obama ads as well. I don't choose these ads. I am hoping Scott Walker wins the recall election and Obama gets recalled in November.

From the Horse's Mouth
Former Alabama Congressman Artur Davis is leaving the Democratic party. A look at his official web site addressing his future prospects as a politician is revealing. Mr. Davis, who was an Obama campaign co-chair, accuses the Democratic party under President Obama of divisiveness, assaults on religious freedom, and poor economic policies. Mr. Davis sounds like he was a conservative all along, it just took a radical for him to know.
The Real War on Women
Disturbing video from LiveAction.org shows an employee of Planned Parenthood who notes that she's a parent who has had two abortions of her own, guiding a person through the steps of what she should do if she wants to abort her child because it is female.
Last I checked, no Republican accused of conducting a war on women has ever advocated killing one, much less told someone how to do it.
I Wasn't Aware the Ability to Lactate and Take an Exam at the Same Time Was a Qualification for the Job
Massachusetts Democratic Senate Candidate Elizabeth Warren was the first 1/32 Cherokee by cheekbone to breastfeed from a papoose while scaling the Washington Monument to take the bar exam at the same time. OK, to be fair that's only partly a fair criticism (though it is more than 1/32 fair). As you're probably aware by now, Ms. Warren has been claiming to be part Cherokee for years because her Aunt Bea used to comment on her grandfather's high cheekbones. Now, video comes out where she's bragging that she was the first nursing mother to take the bar exam in the state of New Jersey. I could be wrong here, but I'm almost certain there was nothing I had to submit to the bar to clarify if I was lactating or not. I may have gotten the male application though.
Only in politics do idiots like this come to the fore. I'm almost rooting for her to win because I can't wait to see the next moronic moment this "academic" is going to have.
