Correction Of The Day

"In the Jan. 23 issue of Wednesday Journal, River Forest Village President Frank Paris is quoted saying, ‘I’ll answer any question except if you ask me how many times I sodomized my parent. Those kinds of questions can’t be asked.’ What Mr. Paris actually said was, ‘I’ll answer any question except if you ask me how many times I sodomized my parrot,’" – Wednesday Journal, River Valley.

Evil

Some don’t want to use that word about the Islamofascists. But they use women – perhaps with some mental retardation – to kill innocent children delighting in a pet shop. It may not be a very helpful fact in crafting effective strategies against them, but it is a fact.

If they aren’t evil, nothing is.

Two-Day Post-Edwards Tracking

Rasmussen has it a tie:

The last two nights of tracking were the first without John Edwards in the race. For those two nights, it’s Clinton 44% and Obama 42% meaning that Clinton’s support is essentially unchanged. This suggests that many former Edwards supporters now support Obama, many others have yet to make a decision, and few currently support Clinton.

A week ago, she was eleven points ahead. Si se puede!

Coulter-Lash

Expelling a toxin.

The LA Times Endorses

Not sure what difference it makes, but their argument is solid enough:

In the language of metaphor, Clinton is an essay, solid and reasoned; Obama is a poem, lyric and filled with possibility. Clinton would be a valuable and competent executive, but Obama matches her in substance and adds something that the nation has been missing far too long — a sense of aspiration.

A Feminist On Circumcision

Strangely compelling:

Foreskin may arguably not be a huge deal, but I think it’s simply wrong to remove a part of a person’s genitals without their consent. However, I don’t think circumcised men are horribly "mutilated." I don’t think that there’s anything weird or unattractive about it. I don’t think that they’re all psychologically scarred. And I think it’s shitty to suggest otherwise.
