HR-3

Michael J. New at NRO:

Today the House of Representatives will likely be voting on H.R. 3, the No Taxpayer Funding of Abortion Act, sponsored by Reps. Chris Smith (R., N.J.) and Dan Lipinski (D., Ill.). This bill would permanently prohibit the funding of abortion in any federal program. Specifically it would make pro-life riders like the Hyde Amendment permanent law. Furthermore, it would also permanently ban taxpayer-funded abortions in the District of Columbia. Even though the Hyde Amendment passes every year, it is always possible a partisan shift in Congress could jeopardize its passage. The enactment of H.R. 3 would make the funding restrictions included in the Hyde Amendment permanent....

....Regardless of the outcome of today’s vote, pro-lifers should take heart. In the aftermath of the 1994 election, Congress never even voted on defunding Planned Parenthood. This year, there was already a concerted effort to remove Planned Parenthood funding from the remainder of the FY 2011 budget. The ban on taxpayer-funded abortions in the District of Columbia was reinstated. Now Congress is voting on a bill that would effectively make the Hyde Amendment permanent. Indeed, the increased attention that this Congress is giving to sanctity-of-life issues is evidence of the increased popularity and influence of the pro-life movement.

And the good news is.... It passed the House 251 to 175.

Interrogation Techniques

"Dammit, must you guys ruin everything?"

Ha:

The debate over the use of harsh interrogation techniques during the Bush administration is being rekindled by the successful operation against Osama bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan, which was based on information about the courier extracted from detained terror suspects.

Pretty Cool

This is pretty neat, if it works. You drag one of your original pictures into the box, and the gizmo searches for others taken by the same camera on the intertubes. It didn't work with any of my JPGs because my camera doesn't write serial number data to the EXIF file. But how cool anyway,huh?

One potential drawback: You might find that some guy is taking pictures of his ass with your camera but not be able to track him down. I could see daily searches becoming a an obsession as you scour the web for your abused device.

There's bound to be success stories though. They should be chronicled at the bottom of the page. I love a good thief-gets-poned story.

There

I'm thinking about creating a commemorative plate; something to put on the mantle.
