You're comparing an idiot mayor of a nothing town to the POTUS?

No, I'm comparing the idiot mayor of a nothing town to you.

Freezing - in the 40s in SoCal last night. High today in the upper 50s. No Christmas beach parties.

Abstinence advocate Bristol Palin spits out second out-of-wedlock bastard, evangelicals silent. Welfare next?

http://news.yahoo.com/bristol-palin-giv ... 40280.html

(Reuters) - Bristol Palin, a daughter of 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, has given birth to a second child out of wedlock.

Palin, 25, who has been an advocate of sexual abstinence before marriage, tweeted on Thursday that she had given birth to a girl, Sailor Grace. "My Heart Just Doubled," she wrote.

The father was not named. Palin announced she was pregnant in June, a few weeks after her engagement to Medal of Honor winner Dakota Meyer was called off.

Her first pregnancy as a teenager gained widespread attention in 2008 when it was disclosed during her mother's campaign as the running mate of Republican presidential nominee Senator John McCain.

Sarah Palin, a former Alaska governor, tweeted that the baby was born late on Wednesday. "Oh, perfect love! The best gift ever!" she wrote.

Could it be that the Medal of Honor winner is NOT the father???

What, at this point, does it matter?

At this point? When did it ever matter?

Sy Hersh is old and wears a tin foil yarmulke. Before this Syria fantasy he claimed the takedown of Bin Laden was a hoax.

"Secular theists" — economist Don Boudreaux's term — produce governments gripped by the fatal conceit that they are wiser than society's spontaneous experimental order. Such governments imposed order suffocates improvisation and innovation. Like religious creationists gazing upon biological complexity, secular theists assume that social complexity requires an intentional design imposed from on high by wise designers, a.k.a. them.

I like Will, always have, and certainly not because I agree with him very often (if at all). I just like his writing style, tone, demeanor, wordsmanship...but definitely demeanor. Dude never loses his cool, because he's got an encyclopedic mind and always has a total command of the facts (whereas other talking heads shout a lot to compensate for being fact-challenged). I'm fascinated that Will was a religion major and is now an avowed atheist. Oh the irony....who doesn't love a good irony?

No doubt there's enough gubmint-is-evil in that article to appeal to all the mouth-breathers.
