More On Schiavo
I’m filing this one under Health and Politics, primarily because this is a health issue for which Terri Schiavo has become a political pawn. Several have written detailed posts about the ethical and political implications of this circus. Get past the tripe and see what this is really about: Respectful of Otters – Terri Schiavo, [...]

but Norbizness does it better. Or you can read the real story sans snark. In other news, we can now mention Bill Clinton, Martha Stewart, and Lil’ Kim in the same sentence and not look like pop culture idiots.

Shakespeare’s Sister, during email conversations with upper-tier bloggers under the condition of anonymity, finds out why women aren’t linked more often. Women don’t give me much linkable material. Women write on subjects that don’t interest me. Women don’t know how to compromise on abortion rights. Why don’t women post about Social Security? It affects them, [...]

Bats Left Throws Right has even more context on the politicians involved in the Indiana Planned Parenthood fishing expedition. I must say, this characterization of Indiana state legislature is spot on hilarious: “…the usual anti-abortion monkeyshines in the World’s Third Worst State Legislature™ (Motto: ‘Step On It. Mac, Kansas Is Gaining On Us’).” Also, The [...]

Roni writes on a high-profile Chicago rape trial: There has been a slighty high-profile rape case going on here in the Land of Lincoln. It involves a party, lots of booze, one teen-aged girl, and 4 teen-aged boys. And a videotape. The accusation went like this: A 16-year-old girl went to a party, got really [...]

This thread got awfully personal as people went tripping on their shoelaces trying to rip Michele to shreds. I don’t need any political penance for Republican voters who are now turning away from Bush. A simple “I was duped” will do. No penance is going to bring back lives or reerect buildings bombed into powder, [...]

These proposed laws coming to the Indiana House Public Policy and Veterans’ Affairs Committee are piggy-backing on some of the more disgust-worthy legal actions across the nation. Both bills are suspect for many reasons, but the most interesting implications lie in that they proclaim to help women make better choices and protect women’s health, but [...]

There’s a reason many locals rarely read the local paper. Little of great note happens around here that you can’t follow through the internet, and better news coverage of state and local events is done elsewhere. After a year of having a local paper subscription simply for the crossword, I cancelled. One less bill, water [...]
