It looks like the national GOP is withdrawing funding from Todd "Magic Vagina" Akin's campaign. I guess it is possible for the Republicans to do something right. Of course, a stopped clock is right twice a day.
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

unfortunately, they aren't doing it because they found his comments offensive. They are doing it because they really want to win that election.

It is so wrong that I am already able to check in for my return flight and I haven't even left home in the first place yet.

Yeah, I've done those kinds of tight turnaround flights too many times Brenda. Just heading out for a meeting?

When asked in a debate what should happen to a healthy 28-year-old who chooses not to buy health insurance but later gets cancer, Todd Akin said, “All of us make decisions in our lives, and there are consequences of those decisions. People have to start being held accountable for their decisions and if somebody’s not buying insurance then they’re going to have to be selling their car or whatever it is to try to help cover that.”
My cancer care to date has cost $200,000+. What kind of car would I have had to have to cover that if I didn't have insurance?

Yay Ottawa, I've got family up there.
I've had a few turnaround to Orlando from Los Angeles where I've been able to check in for my return flight before I've boarded my outgoing. That really sucks on cross country flights.

Ginger,
that kind of thing makes me want to choke the politician who said it. That is clearly someone who cannot imagine the myriad needs of his constituency and therefore should not be in public service.
at all.

I don't remember Jesus saying, "I've got mine, to hell with you." I do remember something on the lines of "As you have treated the least of you, so my father will treat you." Or words to that effect.
