Its about an abortionist, William F. Harrison(the man is not worthy to be called a doctor) who has done more 20,000 abortion and had 6,000 live births. He stopped doing Obstetrics in 1991... Peakah's Provocations weighs in with: You are Going to hear a Sucking Sound: The non-shalant [sic] attitude and twisted perspective consistently fed to us despite the clear and present tragedy of abortions is nothing short of devious.

If Ms. Rector has no influence over her planned husband's work directly or indirectly, I don't see a conflict. However Texas laws on this could be strict, and I'm aware there are good reasons to not allow nepotism. Not in my family. Customerservant.com pays me a compliment. Better watch out!

Governors Schwarzenneger of California and Warner of Virginia must decide whether to grant clemency in two current cases. Fry 'em sez I. Proving his name once again, the The Florida Masochist writes: Tear down the Orange Bowl? I was to Miami Dolphin or Miami Hurricane games about a dozen times in the late 70's to mid-eighties but not since. The stadium was on the antiquated side back then. Seats had no backs etc. There's been alot of history at the OB but all stadiums even... Is It Just Me? notes Rummy talk: Rumsfeld's Epipheny - Insurgents No More?

How The Politicians Stole Christmas: Thanks be to Macstansbury.org for inspiring me to write this article when he sent me this link, Cox and Forkum.

From Choose Life: The War on Christmas: Part Deux: Right on schedule and just as predicted, the war on Christmas has begun. It seems the American Family Association did a survey in which they gathered advertising inserts (totaling 280 pages) from 11 different companies placed in two newspapers...
