Planned Parenthood Director Abby Johnson quit when her clinic was pressured to increase the number of abortions it performed and she was also required to assist in an ultrasound-guided abortion procedure. Vagina Warriors cried hoax and Planned Parenthood filed suit against Johnson. Now Planned Parenthood quietly withdraws the lawsuit.

good catch on the cranky hoochie…
here is a nice piece what DRJ got from Mr. Fikes who reads that LGF weirdo person so you don’t have to
Comment by cranky-d on 11/29 @ 12:54 pm #
The AGW debacle is a major fail for politicized scientists. I think one reason many researchers who were not client scientists were on board because they deal honestly with their research and expect others to do the same. They realize, like I imagine the vast majority here does, that science cannot advance in the face of dishonest research. This sort of thing taints everyone.
And naysayers, the few that there are here, don’t get trapped in illogical thinking. If you take NSF money for your work, you are REQUIRED to release your results and the code you used to get those results. I also am pretty sure that any data you gather using that money must also be released in raw form. You are also expected by others to be clear in your approach to data selection and processing so others can duplicate your results. This is true no matter what you think about others who might use the information to discredit you. If your work is solid, and you act in good faith, I don’t believe you can be hurt.

I remember clicking on LGF way back in the day and Chucky had a BIG rant on global warming. I hit refresh and there was a new post. One of his Sunday afternoon picture/ open thread thingies (he fancies himself a photographer). It was titled “Beautiful Ship Off the Pier” or some such.
The “beautiful ship” was a fucking oil tanker.
No one called it (for fear of deletion I guess).
What can you say?
I mean the man has a ponytail.
Kinda stops right there for me.

oops actually here is Mr. Fikes’ take on the climate fraud

I think one of my best friend from college has a ponytail now… I really need to get back to Texas and see him soon… I don’t know how I can help but I have to try.

*best friends* I mean … also Mr. Veit found this about where you can ride a zeppelin. He says it’s the only place you can ride a zeppelin in the western hemisphere. You can fly over Alcatraz. How cool is that? Also I don’t know why but this picture is cool too. I guess cause you just never see that.

Oh shit. This looks bad. It could be meth related, but it could be something else given the location to the airforce base (and Fort Lewis is right there too).

Good on ya’ hf. A true friend.
Only bikers should have ponytails. And only if their ponytails are gray. And their beards are almost as long as their ponytails. And their beards are also gray.
Incidentally, none of the dudes in Sam Crow have ponytails.
But one of them is Irish.
Also, a ponytail is acceptable if you’re Willie Nelson.
But then it has to be braided.
So…to sum up. hf, unless your friend is a biker and/or Willie Nelson, we need to get you on a flight to Texas for an intervention.

WTF?!?!
That’s crazy. Suicide crazy. Ambushing and murdering four cops in broad daylight? AFB or not, don’t smell like a terror plot. Has to be drug related. Mexican cartel maybe. Or the cops were dirty.
Please Lord, don’t let them turn out to be dirty cops.
Either way, we should nuke Juarez.
Just puttin’ it out there.
Wouldn’t change the landscape much. Hell, I doubt anybody but the murdering, butchering, raping cartel filth would notice.
Prayers for those cops families.

Ponytail is also acceptable if you’re a real Indian.
Also, no dreadlocks on white people, please.

Hey!
did we know that our Christopher Taylor was a book-writer person? here’s the amazon page where you can buy… he has one of those names what looks awesome on a book cover I think.

I just finished McCarthy’s “The Road”.
I won’t be reading anything else for a while.
I love Viggo Mortensen (full on man-crush). I both want and don’t want to see the theatrical version.
Powerful book.

Sam Crow – Good observation about the no tails. Much ink and scars. No tails.
Comment by Joe on 11/29 @ 3:19 pm #
Lamont, for an Oprah pick, it was an exceptional one. McCarthy’s stuff is generally well done. I read it last year. If they do it as well as they did No Country for Old Men (which I was amazed as how close they kept to the original novel), it should be a very good movie.
Comment by Seth on 11/29 @ 3:19 pm #
Lamont(youbigdummy): I agree, great book, but very, very bleak. I’m also torn on seeing the movie, I’m a little afraid that even Vigo’s ample acting chops won’t do it justice.
I really enjoy everything I’ve tried by McCarthy. I actually especially liked “All the Pretty Horses”, and not even sure why. Thought the movie was entertaining as hell.
Comment by Lamontyoubigdummy on 11/29 @ 4:05 pm #
…”and not even sure why. Thought the movie was entertaining as hell.”
I liked the movie too. Was before Billy Bob got all famous and hooked up with Angelina. And it didn’t seem like a Matt Damon “vehicle”. It seemed like he (Damon) was just trying to get through it unscathed.
Pretty much the same way I feel whenever I’m reading one of McCarthy’s books.
He always throws you a rope though. Like the son in “The Road” taken in at the end by a kind “well fed” man in a “good coat” with a gun and a bandoleer of homemade shotgun shells.
Knowing what you know from the 300 pages prior, there’s a good chance the new pair won’t survive the sunrise.
But McCarthy leaves you praying they do.

Speaking of Sam Crow, has anyone else noticed that something awful has happened to Ally Walker’s upper lip, presumably by way of plastic surgery? It’s a scourge, I tells ya.
Comment by Lamontyoubigdummy on 11/29 @ 4:38 pm #
Holy Shit sdferr! I said that to my Dad last night (we were watching Tuesdays re-run).
#1) Aside from SOA I haven’t seen Alley Walker since she was chain smoking next to Jean-Claude Van Damme in “Universal Soldier”.
#2) That is totally botox.
A few more injections and she can be Speaker of the House.

Okay. She was much more hawt previously. She still has a way sexy voice.

“She still has a way sexy voice.”
I think that’s maybe from all the cigarettes.

Huckabee Paroled Cop Killer
That would be the suspect in this morning’s murder of 4 cops in a Lakeland, WA coffee shop. Paroled doesn’t seem to be the right word. Clemency fits.
Oy.

Surprising that Obama hadn’t enlisted this fellow Clemmons into negotiating with the Iranians, ain’t it? He might have kept them busy a couple more days before they decided to go whole hog on the nuclear installations.
