Reaction to Injustice

Nancy Pelosi reacts to the grievous injury done to all women when the Supreme Court ruled that the government couldn't force Little Sisters of the Poor to provide contraceptives and abortifacients to employees.

Here, Nancy demonstrates an emergency alternative that women can use "until we can get those nuns whipped back into line." She calls it "the birth control face" and claims it is 98% effective at preventing unwanted pregnancies.

What a world, huh? Where not wanting to pay for someone else's contraception is considered a "war on women".

Also from National Review:

Imagine that a woman starts work at Hobby Lobby tomorrow morning — July 1. She joins Hobby Lobby’s health care plan. It includes access, copay-free, to the following categories of FDA-approved birth-control:

1. Male condoms
2. Female condoms
3. Diaphragms with spermicide
4. Sponges with spermicide
5. Cervical caps with spermicide
6. Spermicide alone
7. Birth-control pills with estrogen and progestin (“Combined Pill)
8. Birth-control pills with progestin alone (“The Mini Pill)
9. Birth control pills (extended/continuous use)
10. Contraceptive patches
11. Contraceptive rings
12. Progestin injections
13. Implantable rods
14. Vasectomies
15. Female sterilization surgeries
16. Female sterilization implants

(This new woman at Hobby Lobby cannot use male condoms or a vasectomy, at least not directly. However, if she chose either contraceptive method, in conjunction with her husband, she would have access to it.)...

...What Hobby Lobby will not cover are four contraceptive methods that its owners fear are abortifacients:

1. Plan B (“The Morning After Pill”)
2. Ella (a similar type of “emergency contraception”)
3. Copper Intra-Uterine Device
4. IUD with progestin

Rather than simply prevent sperm and ova from uniting, Hobby Lobby’s owners believe that these medications either kill human beings when they are fertilized eggs or prevent them from implanting themselves in utero, whereupon they die.

Not quite the war on women the hysterical (yes, check the etymology) left is cackling about.

"That's the Story"

Via National Review, Lois Learner's attorney:

“She was as upset as anybody else was about the loss of the emails,” Taylor said. “The truth is this was one of those things that happened — at the time she did everything she could to retrieve it.”

“That’s the story — that’s all there is to it,” he added.

Yeah, and O.J. is still looking for the real killers. 

Notice Lerner's attorney does a little verbal slight of hand:

"The record that was created at the time in terms of e-mails is undisputed. She walked into the office one day and her screen went blue..."

I don't doubt that the record shows that the tech guys got a call. And that they found a machine with scorched hard drive. But the record doesn't show that she walked into the office and her screen went blue. That's just what she claims.

Another thing... I'm reminded of those purposefully broken PDF's that some college kids use to finesse an extra day's grace on late assignments:

Although it is usually an unfortunate event, corrupting a file can sometimes be useful. For example, you have to deliver a document today but it is not ready yet. A solution is to send a corrupted document, pretending it is the completed version. The recipient will not be able to open it, but the computer will appear as the culprit, not you.

Look, I don't know if she had a tech competent accomplice erase, then write, then corrupt her hard drive; it could be her accomplice just switched her hard drive out with a known toasted drive. Lerner just claims her screen went blue. That's what's on the undisputed record: her claim.

Obviously Nitrous Fueled

Meanwhile in Norway...

Brash Bieber Bashes Bumpers, Bearded Blogger Bemused

I saw it on Drudge, The Biebs in Crash During Paparazzi Chase:

We're told the Escalade was going down Canon Drive at a fast clip, trying to lose the photog, when a BMW was pulling out of a parking structure near Bouchon restaurant.  An eyewitness tells us ... the BMW misjudged the speed of the Escalade and smashed into it.

We're told Bieber almost immediately got out of the SUV and into another car and sped off...

"We're told" and "we're told" It's sort of like "don't blame us if this is all wrong; we're just saying what we were told..."

Like that despicable Harry Reid... but I digress. Thing is, when you hear about car crashes, involving anyone, you should shift into concerned mode. But, to my shame, when I read about the Beib smashup, all I could think of was:

Uppa-Down That Frown

I knew it. Stress leads to arterial inflammation which your body soothes with the grease from that tasty bacon.

So, once again, we see that the only thing Science knows for sure is that the climate was perfect a hundred years ago and now you've gone and ruined everything. Oddly, all other science is allowed to evolve, just not global oh my dear lord we're doomed warming.

In the end, I think your egg and hamburger sandwich (with salt!) will be acquitted.

Here, have more therapy for that heart:

Not a Smidgen of Corruption

Officials at the IRS claimed yesterday that they had found the dog that ate every single e-mail from Lois Lerner to any recipient outside the IRS. When it was pointed out that their "dog" was actually a magazine cover, and that it was an illustration, not even a picture, of a real dog, the IRS spokesman said they would resume their search.
