On The Difficulty Of Writing, Or, The War Hits Home by: fake consultant I do not want to write this story, and I have been stuck for about ten days because I do not want to face the reality of this particular situation. But here it is. Last Friday was the day The Girlfriend and I had to travel to Fort Lewis, Washington, to attend the military departure ceremony for one of our two godsons. He enlisted in the Army National Guard, and now it’s time to go to the Middle East. There was no mystery or great surprise that he would be going, and the news is not all bad. He is not in a Stryker Brigade; thank whichever deity you support, nor a military policeman. It is theoretically possible that the support role he will be filling will actually be moderately safe, which is about the best spin I can offer considering the circumstances. He and his brother are our two godsons, and we have literally been looking out for them since the days of their birth. To illustrate the point more clearly, I was his birth photo

Anti-Abortion Terrorism Suspect Arrested in Austin by: moiv The American-Statesman reports the arrest of Paul Ross Evans (left) , 27, of Austin for the attempted bombing of an Austin clinic that provides abortion care.

Warren Chisum & Women Who "Try Things on Their Own" by: moiv Texas State Representative Warren Chisum made national news in February by endorsing the idea that teaching the theory of evolution in public schools is unlawful: Copernicus got it all wrong, and the rumor that the Earth rotates around the Sun is only a Kabbalistic plot. His hasty assertion that it was all a misunderstanding is belied by his effort to force Texas high schools to teach a Bible curriculum full of misrepresentations and outright lies. Chisum's stunn

There's No Bidness Like Soul Bidness by: livesinashoe Senator Dan Patrick (R., Houston) has introduced Texas Senate Bill 1567, captioned "Relating to the creation of the adoption incentive program." The text of the bill can be found here, in html,.pdf and Word formats. This bill proposes to pay each and every Texas woman who opts for adoption rather than abortion the sum of 500 American dollars. To incentivize adoption in this way is dangerous for the women of Texas, and exposes them to emotional damage and suffering beyond their imagining at the time of adoption. The damage can be so severe that it can be tantamount to losing one's soul. Check the rest of the story at Texas Kaos Another Democrat with Spine: Rep.
