Post from OHliz's blog:
The empathy hole at Fox News

Governor-Cum-Fox talk show host Mike Huckabee was a guest on The Daily Show recently giving the usual holier-than-thou prolife speech. Yes, every life is precious, Huck. So why aren't you doing anything to prevent natural abortions, i.e., miscarriages?

Maybe Huck's been ordered by Fox News to take the focus off vigilante-justice inspiration Bill O'Reilly. If anyone has misused public airwaves to incite violence, it's him.

Is it just me, or does it seem unAmerican that nine justices -- predominantly Catholics who have not experienced child birth and have no medical credentials -- should be making decisions about methods used for late term abortions? For once, I wish talk show hosts would discuss this.

Has it occurred to neoconservatives that you can't work the keep-big-government-out-of-our-lives argument both ways? You can't support the rights of the individual (as in the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights, for example) and not be pro-choice.

Personally, I'm sick of old men on Fox and elsewhere discussing gynecology in sound bites and always with a morality chip on their shoulders. They don't know what they're talking about.

We let the terrorist win

The assassination of Dr. Tiller resulted in the shutdown of his medical practice. Rhymer O'Reilly and Operation Rescue (which was part of the Operation Save America rally here 5-6 years ago) can congratulate themselves for a "mission accomplished." I'm sure we'll be seeing more Tijuana and do-it-yourself abortions as a result of their efforts.

Compliment for Fox

Today Fox aired a segment with Jungle Jack Hanna. (What an asset he is to C-town.) Also, I adore Fox news guy Shep Smith...when he gets excited his southern accent comes out.
