Ran across several "YOU'RE TELLING WOMEN WHAT TO DO WITH THEIR BODIES!"*

over 'anti-abortion' bills in several states, and when I look around I find something like this:
This week, the protest zeroed in on a bill passed last week by the North Carolina state Senate requiring abortion clinics to conform to the same safety standards as ambulatory surgery centers, a regulation currently met by only one of the state's five clinics.
I'm thinking "Considering what they do to your body, wouldn't you WANT them to meet that standard?"  Apparently not.

Which is interesting; most of the yellers want the .gov running health care, EXCEPT in this...


“I can fight the bugs, I can fight the lack of rain, but when the guy comes with a clipboard what are you going to do?” Bessemer said.


Well, if you wonder why so many people have problems with cops nowadays, this line is a perfect example:
Judge Burke refused to tell KMOV-TV why she would not watch the footage. After all, why record footage in the back of a police van if it will not be viewed as evidence in a court case? Roorda claims those police videos should only be used to protect cops, but internal affairs is trying to use it as a “gotch-head hunter” tool.
Yeah, ONLY to protect cops; if a cop misbehaves, well, THAT'S different, that video should be ignored!
Bleep.


Why do we so often think .gov employees are idiots?
EDA's CIO, fearing that the agency was under attack from a nation-state, insisted instead on a policy of physical destruction. The EDA destroyed not only (uninfected) desktop computers but also printers, cameras, keyboards, and even mice. The destruction only stopped—sparing $3 million of equipment—because the agency had run out of money to pay for destroying the hardware.


The Yankee Vulture Bus Victim List; must be a list borrowed from Bloomberg.  For one,
Dell Peter DiGiovanni: Suspect in a shootout with police as they were investigating drug trafficking and opened fire on the officers. Here is the rub: Dell Peter DiGiovanni hung himself. Must have used bullet rope or something like that.

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – A man believed to have been one of three people who got into a shoot out with police in front of a burning home in southwest Miami-Dade Tuesday night was found hanging from a tree.Wednesday afternoon, police confirmed that the body of 50-year old Dell Peter DiGiovanni hung himself on a tree in front of a home at SW 147 Avenue and SW 48 Terrace.
