From your link:
FIfty percent of pregnancies in the United States are unintended and 40% of these end in abortion (it works out to 22% of pregnancies resulting in abortion). If candidates were serious about preventing abortion they wold talk about the data from 2006, which shows in that year publicly funded family planning services helped almost 2 million women avoid an unintended pregnancy by giving them access to affordable contraception, preventing 810,000 abortions.

re: #111 makeitstop
That’s probably because you deal in reality while they deal in some badly-remembered version of ‘Red Dawn.’
I recall a college friend, who said once, to me and another young woman, that she didn’t like a guy we knew from our fencing club, “Because he looks like a bandit.”
I, or the other woman, I can’t recall, said something about how that made him sexy.
Turned out the boat she and her folks had escaped Vietnam on was boarded by pirates. She did not think raiders were sexy, cool, or ‘a little dangerous’. And that aura, around anyone, made her intensely suspicious of him, while we American-born girls thought it was supercool.

One of those four-month gigs? If I gave an honest answer to ‘why did you leave’, it would be “Because I was told the last person in my job did a miserable job of organizing the filing system, because she wasn’t Jewish, and didn’t understand what a synagogue needed, and she wasn’t very motivated. It was DESPERATELY important that I create a new system that would work.
I began my reorganization of the system by actually creating a document showing the current system, and requesting comments from my boss about what parts she had found problematic. I got a short note back telling me that the ‘new system’ was terrific. Way to go. And it didn’t get better after that.”

For example, here in Florida, Rick Scott is trying to be “Perry-esque” and is being hammered for it in the polls, even amongst conservative leaning independents and Republicans.
Scott is being hammered, yet Obama has fairly dismal approval ratings in the state.

What’s this I hear about Florida? My nephew is ecstatic that they’ve decided to do drug testing on anyone who gets food stamps, or welfare, or something. Is this because one of Rick Scott’s buddies owns the drug testing company they’ll be using? Are the tax payers on the hook for the testing?
iirc, Rick Scott himself owns the drug testing company. So many wrongs on so many levels. FREEDOM!

From your link:
So of course the ‘fiscally conservative’ response is to attack Planned Parenthood.
They don’t want to prevent pregnancies or births either. They want women to keep their legs closed until the men they are ordained by God to submit to AKA, husbands, claim them. Then they are to have babies until the they are too old and rendered naturally infertile. No abortions and no birth control necessary.

Yep…MSNBC was saying that if Ron Paul wins, that it basically makes the straw poll worthless. If T-Paw wins, it’s important to his campaign. If Bachmann wins, it’s expected to give her a boost. If Perry wins, it means he’s the front runner.

re: #16 ralphieboy
Count on gasoline prices to rise sharply next summer, peaking in late October/early November, accompanied by a lot of rhetoric about how Obama is not willing to do enough to bring prices down by developing more domestic sources.
Now why would that be? Gasoline prices figure to rise right along with inflation. Do you expect rapid inflation? And if so, would that have anything to do with Obama’s policies, or would it be just an accident of history?
Do you expect a war in the Middle East? If so, would it be the Republicans who started it? Or Muslims out to get Obama because he’s so islamophobic? Or Jews out to get Obama because they’re all Republicans don’t you know?
Do you expect a conspiracy among refiners? Higher gasoline prices not accompanied by higher crude prices? You do realize that that’s a conspiracy theory?
Do you expect an uptick in travel during September and October? That’s not exactly vacation months.
Your prediction stands little chance of coming true, and if it did happen, it wouldn’t be because of any of the above.

The song choice may be an attempt to appeal to younger voters:
The group has an uncommon youth demographic (18–25) for country music (where the average listener is 44 years old[citation needed]). In September 2007, Weekly Reader Research (Weekly Reader being a children’s general-interest magazine) conducted a poll of more than 2,000 children and Rascal Flatts ranked as the sixth-most-popular act among ages 10–12.[13]

Don’t feel sad. She’s happy and has had a good life and at the age of 87, she’s has a perfectly sound mind and no chronic diseases. Not even high BP. You know what’s really interesting? She’s fair enough to have passed for white and was often mistaken as white. Still is.
In my family, people who would try to pass as white might as well be persona non grata. The ethic is, who would want to?

re: #473 OhCrapIHaveACrushOnSarahPalin
My grandmother was “the help” as a hotel worker, then went to work at a Black-owned dry cleaners for most of her 40s-60s life. Should have been a lawyer but oops, wrong color, wrong body parts. So yeah, the topic isn’t all that entertaining to me.
Have you seen For Love of Ivy? I’d recommend it. Hard to watch at first, then, things happen. Lol the entertainment industry still doesn’t know how to classify it — I’ve seen it under “Blaxploitation” rotfl.
FLOI is definitely not blaxploitation. My mother and aunt said The Help was pretty good and they read the book first, but I get just not wanting to feel those feelings. I feel that same way about movies with rape or child abuse in subject matter. I haven’t experienced either, but I just don’t want to deal with the feelings in a movie theater.

Passing is an interesting phenomena, but it’s amazing how much it didn’t happen. I think because you basically had to go into the witness protection program. No contact with family could have been possible and always looking over your shoulder afraid someone would recognize you. Most people would never do that, no matter what the advantages would have been.

Yeah, San Francisco has some extremely notorious segregation history, as does Berkeley, Richmond, San Leandro and certainly further east. Lol I don’t even know if they took our applications, let alone considered us for teaching jobs.
The UC System still has remnants of the loyalty oath days. A lot of Jewish immigrants and people loyalty-oathed out of state and private colleges got hired to teach at our HBCUs.
[Link: www.pbs.org…]
Thus, in the 1930s and ’40s when Jewish refugee professors arrived at Southern Black Colleges, there was a history of overt empathy between Blacks and Jews, and the possibility of truly effective collaboration. Professor Ernst Borinski organized dinners at which Blacks and Whites would have to sit next to each other - a simple yet revolutionary act. Black students empathized with the cruelty these scholars had endured in Europe and trusted them more than other Whites. In fact, often Black students - as well as members of the Southern White community - saw these refugees as “some kind of colored folk.”
The unique relationship that developed between these teachers and their students was in some ways a microcosm of what was beginning to happen in other parts of the United States. The American Jewish Committee, the American Jewish Congress, and the Anti-Defamation League were central to the campaign against racial prejudice. Jews made substantial financial contributions to many civil rights organizations, including the NAACP, the Urban League, the Congress of Racial Equality, and the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee. About 50 percent of the civil rights attorneys in the South during the 1960s were Jews, as were over 50 percent of the Whites who went to Mississippi in 1964 to challenge Jim Crow Laws.

That’s interesting. Yeah, I mean, the Birchers were convinced the blacks and the Jews were both fomenting Communism, so they got lumped in together in a lot of right-wing rhetoric.
A heartbreaking book to read is “When Harlem Was Jewish”. It’s about the turnover of Harlem from Jewish immigrants to black, and how some rabbis and Jewish leaders wanted to stay, to integrate, to teach the black community what they could and invest in it, and, unfortunately, the majority who said “property values are dropping, we’re outta here”. You can still see some remnants up in Harlem, but precious few.

Story of segregation. Every community has its jerks. As re: shutting out Jews, I see a lot of non-Jewish whites of that era (and also our current one in spots, cf. Anders) simply unable to compete, unless it’s a rigged game like that. Same for blacklists, and other places the US iterations of antisemitism pop up.

What I will never understand is why they didn’t think of bringing those back in the fully-3D games (III-up) until San Andreas.
…and then dropping them again for the Stories games and IV.
Well, Liberty City Stories was a dismal failure. Poor graphics and no music worth hearing except for the classical music. Vice City Stories was good: Vic Vance was a different type of character than seen previously, the graphics were back up to par, and the 80’s music was good. GTA IV also had what it needed, with the right story, graphics and music.

Melissa Harris Perry had a pretty visceral reaction to it.

For myself, I’m just trying to avoid any talking-head commentary on it. It reminds me of Precious, which I still haven’t seen for all the screaming, and probably won’t any time soon.
On that topic, one of my heroes Susie Bright had the most normal take on it of all, since it was her magazine that first published Sapphire, back during the time when noooobody would touch her stuff. I also did read Push when it came out. So this really struck me.
