*excluding turkey.

Are you suggesting that Iraqis eat turkey, but the rest of the Arab Muslim world does not? If that's right, I guess the strategy of spreading our values is, indeed, working. Next they'll be dressing up as Halloween, and tossing Mardi Gras beads to women who lift their veils high enough.

That sucks. I love quizes. Computers suck. Don't feel like doing it again? I think you are forgetting who the epicenter of the universe is. How many times do I have to remind you.

Ty - ignore that. We want quizes. It will be like Jeopardy.

I went to the state party convention this weekend. Every time I go to one of these I leave feeling like it is a miracle that the Republicans win any seats in California.

However, my Democrat activist friends say the same thing to me after they leave their conventions.

Did your guy make it all the way thru, or did he have to take a nap in the middle?

Another Republican trying to claim the Reagan mantle?

My only question is how quickly this gets to the Supreme Court. (assuming gov. signs it) A district court should enjoin it on the papers. Court of appeals might take a bit longer to uphold injunction. But still it will be decided by Mid-2007. So it's decided by Summer 2008. Good timing if you're a dem. (BTW, since the votes aren't there until Stevens or Ginsburg retires, I don't think cert. gets granted)

I talked to Tom Campbell and he told me that in the texas primary, if someone doesn't get more than 50% of the vote there is a runoff. Is that true? He is saying he may not beat delay on March 7 but he will probably force him into a runoff.

[the link is to a blog that describes how to perform an abortion] Interesting, but I think the author isn't getting that people would improvise and use different techniques and instruments. That's just a natural inclination (eh, don't have the onion for the recipe, but here let me use this potato). Okay, b/c her description of the process makes it seem like as long as you can get into the cervix, you can really go to town on the uterus, scraping and pulling. And she didn't even mention gloves, etc.

I think the only good part of her posting is that it will shock people into the reality that abortions will go on no matter what the law says and that people who warn about "back alley" abortions are not just stuck in the 70's or bluffing. She seems too quick to advocate illegal clinics where non-docs are trained and do the procedure. I think it would be better for the patient to have organizations that would, instead of performing the procedures, fund easy transportation out of the state. I mean free transportation and even volunteer escorts - I can easily see Americans rallying for this (I'd for sure give time and money to it). Of course, if you are sitting in the middle of the state, it's going to be a long ride.

Question: if the ban is upheld, and all abortions are illegal in SD, would that law apply to Native Americans? Could not doctor-staffed abortion clinics be set up in certain areas of SD? Seeing as SD docs aren't even performing the procedures now and doctors are coming into the state, why not?

(Yeah, Yeah, the docs could hit the Casino next door after the last D&C of the day, heh heh).

Looks like it's time to be a Democrat again. Just when I thought abortion and personal liberties were so entrenched that it was safe enough to be a Republican again. Damn the Repubs. Time to bring out the "I'm Pro-Choice and I Vote" buttons.

You live in a Democratic state. You act as if it actually matters that you vote GOP.
