Bill Bennett's Virtues for Children:

I really don't have the strength for this one. Here's a link to the whole deal: http://mediamatters.org/items/200509280006
 
You can find a transcript and a recording so you can listen to it.
 
I'm sure he's already begun backpedaling, and all his Nazi friends on FoxNews are doing their best to cover for him.
 
Here's the smoking gun:
"...But I do know that it's true that if you wanted to reduce crime, you could -- if that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down. That would be an impossible, ridiculous, and morally reprehensible thing to do, but your crime rate would go down..."
<I hate to agree with Howard Stern, but, are any of Bennett's advertisers talking about leaving?>
 
I'm sure he will be using the "Feed the Irish their babies" defense, but that dog don't hunt.
 
Nowhere in the conversation was race brought up UNTIL BILL SAID IT IN THE QUOTE ABOVE.
 
Perhaps race is mentioned in the original source material (the "topic" was the impact on abiznortions on crime rates as described in the book Freakonomic)? You know, maybe it is. I have not read it. From their comments (Bill and the idiot on the phone) it is clear that they have not, either.
 
In fact, Bill is the one that brings up "crime." The caller is talking about how "abiznortions would help keep Social Security solvent."
 
Its Bill that then links CRIME to "black."
 
Clearly, then, for Bill, crime (like looters in New Orleans) IS African American. It EQUALS "black."
 
But look at what he says. If your sole purpose is to lower crime, abort every black baby.
 
Sunshine, that ain't no an elective procedure he's describing (excuse me, "free associating").
 
And, again, that is not what the caller is talking about nor is it the effect that Freakonomic is describing.
 
But, while we are here, let's see if he's right.
 
First, someone would have to define what "baby" means. Are we only talking about those still in the womb or is any child up to a certain age to be terminated.
 
OK, next, someone needs to get access to these babies and their mothers (assuming at least those in the womb would be targeted). Probably would need a large organization to put out the word and then round them up and any that wouldn't "volunteer."
 
Oh. Yeah. I bet there wouldn't be a whole lot of volunteering. Probably some violence associated with the "round up."
 
OK, so there would be violence *until* all the "babies" were eliminated.
 
But, it seems to me that human beings like sex and that would mean that babies were always going to be around so there would always be violence.
 
Hmmm. Well, that doesn't really work, does it Bill?
 
And maybe all this baby killing would incite violence against the "agency" performing this action. Probably would not be limited to just those individuals immediately  impacted by this new policy.
 
Yeah, I'm thinking that as long as this policy is going on, there will be violence.
 
So, pretty much Bill, the only way for your hypothesis to be valid is if you eliminate all "blacks."
 
Bill? You realize that is what your are saying, right?
 
I mean, that is where *your* mind went. All on its own. With no help from your caller.
Straight to a death camp.
 
And mine has gone straight to Gitmo.

Slow and Wimpering Death:

After an embarrassing showing yesterday (like the time you lost control of your bowels after too much tequila and questionable food selections from that barefooted taco vendor), the Democrats are dead. Well, maybe they've got a pulse. It depends on who they select as Party Chair. Who they select will make it clear to us all whether or not the lack of oxygen has permanently damaged their brains.

Personally, after the weak-ASS showing on the Gonzales hearings and the lack luster, unfocused debate on election reform, its seems clear to me that the party is dead. There maybe one or two individuals with the courage of their convictions, but the rest look like a bunch of out of work football players looking to get on with a Canadian team.

I am left only to hope, now. Hope that hubris will lead this President and his fellow travelers to the same destination it dumped Richard M. Nixon. Its sad. Like leaving your tooth under your pillow *after* you've moved out of your parents house.

As hard as it may be to believe, I really would like to write about something besides the war in Iraq (um, why doesn't the President declare a state of war...), what a jack-hole the President is, and what a bunch of mean, short-sighted, lemmings his followers are.

But, I'm too tired to come up with anything else. And (today) I am too tired to come up with more about this J-Hole President and his empty-headed supporters. Instead, how about a comic or two:
