• The Wall Street Journal on the tabling of the Blunt Amendment:

  Nancy Pelosi called it “devastating legislation” and “the latest ploy in the Republican agenda of disrespecting the health of American women.” Planned Parenthood claimed the “dangerous proposal” would have allowed “your boss” — yes, yours — to decide “which prescriptions you can get filled and which medical procedures you can have,” including cancer screening, maternity care and AIDS medications.

  It sounds medieval. But in fact, the provision that the Senate tabled yesterday would merely have restored the status quo ante of one month ago. Those were the dark ages before the Obama Administration overturned traditional conscience protections with its birth-control insurance mandate under the Affordable Care Act.

MJ’s 7-acre estate in Highland Park, Illinois is selling for $29 million.

This estate lacks the warmth and charm that most women love, but then – the owner caused a broken life and misery for his then wife.  No amount of money or possessions can cover an adulterous heart.

Another piece of information: MJ is only paying $165,000 property taxes on this $29M estate.

On February 28 CNN’s Wolf Blitzer tried to play gotcha with Newt Gingrich regarding Gingrich’s statement during a recent Republican debate that the mainstream media had failed to scrutinize presidential candidate Barack Obama in 2008 regarding his opposition as state senator to the Illinois Born Alive Infant Protection Act.

Blitzer, attempting to prove that at least CNN had covered the story, played a clip of “special contributor” David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting Network interviewing Obama on the topic.

No surprise, the particular clip by which CNN chose to vindicate itself also appears to vindicate Obama, or at the very least question National Right to Life’s portrayal of Obama’s opposition to BAIPA:

Here’s the thing – they’re right. If you accept their premises, they’re absolutely right.

It’s almost a pro-life argument in that it highlights the absurdity of the pro-abortion argument.
