Don't we need more kids? You'd think banning contraception would be the desirable public policy if that were the idea.

No, we need dieback.  And it'll come one way or the other.

Why is that people are always trying to stop me then? :rolleyes:

Not really. It's the Republicans who are orchestrating a controversy about what you so accurately call "religious freedom or whatever".
Well, I think both sides are milking this nonsense for all it's worth. I'm just saying that Fluke wasn't going in to testify because she thought the committee could use her expertise - she had an agenda and she wanted publicity. And she got more of it than she could ever have hoped for.
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

How is it that AOL is even able to advertise anymore?  Are Americans so stupid and pathetic that they're still using AOL?

I think it's for old people.  Sorta like the Jitterbug, it's grandma-proof.

AOL is advertising their new automated PC cleanup/optimization service. Which is funny to old school guys like me who remember AOL as a virus to be removed rather than anyone you would remotely trust to fix your computer.

I could have sworn those old AOL CDS were living creatures.  Nobody could have made so many, they were breeding and creeping into magazines and mailboxes.  I remember despising AOL.  Actually, I might still have an Email with them.  haven't opened it in years.  I did use AOL instant messenger for a while.

Of course the Democrats are milking it. It's one of the most ludicrous controversies in the last long time in American politics, and it's not like it's not a crowded field. When the Republicans chose to make an issue out of birth control pills in 2012, they deserve to have it milked to death by their opponents. That's some grade A bullshit they're putting forth.

I just find it even more hilarious they're doing it in an election year.  This is classic.

Today at lunchtime I had THE CRAVE.  While driving back from sating it, I caught some of Limbaugh's show and heard him talking about all the sponsors dropping them.  He was basically saying that his sponsors had exploited and made money off of his listeners for years and it was funny that all of the sudden they were dropping him like a hot potato.  Seemed like not the smartest thing to be saying when you know other sponsors are considering doing the same. :hmm:

OTOH I have always had trouble telling when El Rushbo is joking and when he isn't, and he seems to expect anyone listening to be able to easily make that distinction.

For some reason this whole drama has escaped me. Actually I think my time has been better spent on CK2, Dwarf Fortress and Deep Space Nine via Netflix.

The funniest thing about Rush is that his listeners truly take him seriously, when he's got about as much legitimacy as Howard Stern.

It's probably not a coincidence that my dad listens exclusively to talk radio in the car, and is either listening to Howard or Rush at all times. :bowler:
