Hypocrisy, By the Numbers

All life, even that of unwanted, unborn babies the size of pencil erasers, is important. It is the most important thing in the world. How important?

Way more important than dealing with all the starving/malnutritioned, poorly-educated children all over the country who were born into a life of poverty, crime, and neglect.

So important that right-wing asshole ideologues will kill medical personnel to make sure there isn't any killing going on.

Since 1977, there have been eight confirmed murders of abortion providers or other clinic staff, 41 bombings, 175 arsons and 96 attempted bombings or arsons, according to the National Abortion Federation.

Breaking the law to interfere with legally-sanctioned activities and ignoring all the most important tenets of every major religion, all in the name of hypocrisy. Thanks, Red America.

Leading By Example

This just in:

RIVERSIDE, Calif. — A former police chief in California has been charged with drunken driving after leaving a club and crashing his city-owned car.

The Riverside County district attorney's office charged Russell Leach on Monday with misdemeanor driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol. He could face up to six months in jail in convicted.

The 62-year-old Leach, former police chief in the city of Riverside, crashed a Chrysler into a fire hydrant on Feb. 8. Two tires were missing when police stopped him three miles from the collision site.

Leach previously said he was disoriented from taking pain medication. He resigned last month for medical reasons.

Prosecutors say California Highway Patrol investigators determined Leach had taken prescription drugs and had at least 11 drinks before the crash.

Leach couldn't immediately be reached Monday for further comment.

Mainly so I know which spots to avoid in the future, I want to know what kind of club has 62-year-old men hanging around.

Was it, perhaps, a strip club? I mean, something tells me he wasn't shaking his diaper to techno music...

We Regret to Inform You There WILL Be Redundancies...

How much longer until the phrase 'disgraced Republican' becomes redundant?

Sen. John Ensign (R-NV)--a conservative Christian--not only recently admitted taking a mistress, but also that his rich casino-mogul dad paid $96,000 to help her and her family through "a difficult time."

To add insult to injury, the mistress was not only a former coworker, but a family friend. So was her husband. So, presumably, were their two innocent children.

You might remember Sen. Ensign (Hypocrite-NV) from his public outrage at Clinton's infidelities. Hmmm...well-done all around, Super Prick!
