Planned Parenthood looked the other way, Mason rape victim says

on Tue 15 May 2007 10:25 PM EDT

John Blanks Jr. of Mason was sentenced to five years - one year in prison for every year he molested his daughter, beginning when she was 13. "She had to get up out of his bed in the morning and go to school, if you can imagine what that was like," Hutzel said.
"She tried to put an end to this abuse," said Brian Hurley, "by informing a Planned Parenthood employee that she has been forced to have sex and to do things she did not want to do. Tragically for her, Planned Parenthood's 'don't ask, don't tell' policy was in full force."

Dear Kid In The Background Of The Jessica Alba Bikini Pictures;
You're a lucky son of a (deleted). You'll never do anything as good in your life again as casually swim by Jessica Alba while she's wearing a bikini. None of us will. That's the highest achievement of mankind.
You could do great things; cure cancer, win multiple academy awards, sell ten million records, become the president of Zimbabwe. But when you completed any of these achievements, the headline in the newspaper the next day would read "Boy Who Swam Next To Alba Did Good." And you're not gonna be mad when that happens.

“On a scale of one to ten, I’d give this a nine and a half,” said Assistant Principal George Brady. “This is right up there with the year we informed the kids that the tater tots they had just eaten were laced with the AIDS virus, and that the only cure was to gargle with a mixture of red hot sauce and Clorox. Priceless. Or the time in 2002 when we had some local convenience store clerks pose as terrorists and hold the students hostage at gunpoint. The stupid kids couldn’t even tell an Indian accent from a Saudi Arabian one. What’s more, the ‘guns’ they had weren’t even loaded! Classic, just classic.”

More Bureaucracy, Less Security for Another $40 Bil: That's the DC Way!

Five years into this new Department, Congress still cannot agree on how to handle the mega-bureaucracy it created, which means there has been no effective oversight of the department. While Congress remains in disarray over how to fund and oversee the department, we can only wonder whether we are more vulnerable than we were before Homeland Security was created.

We've all seen this phrase in block letters: "REPORT SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY," followed by a 1-800 number. But if a House Democrat manages to kill a tipster-immunity measure under consideration in Congress this month, people who report suspicious behavior could be sued in civil court if the accused are not charged with a crime. November's frightened U.S. Airways "John Doe" passengers in Minneapolis are already in the crosshairs.

Awfully hard to call him 'handicapped.'
Pistorius is also a searing talent who has begun erasing the lines between abled and disabled, raising philosophical questions: What should an athlete look like? Where should limits be placed on technology to balance fair play with the right to compete? Would the nature of sport be altered if athletes using artificial limbs could run faster or jump higher than the best athletes using their natural limbs?

Nancy Pelosi sets women's rights back 1000 years during her trip to Damascus

on Tue 15 May 2007 09:58 AM EDT

The new minister of education for Kuwait is a brave woman now famous across the Islamic world for a landmark moment: The day she walked up to the podium of Parliament, despite the catcalls from Islamist lawmakers, and took her oath of office without wearing a veil to cover her hair or face.
Her April 2 act of defiance placed Dr. Nouriya Al-Subeeh on the front line of the growing ranks of Muslim women leaders who are denouncing the veil as a symbol of female oppression. But on the following day, April 3, America's Speaker of the House, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the very first woman to hold that position, meekly donned a veil during a visit to a popular market in downtown Damascus, sending the exact opposite message to tens of millions of Arab women.
