Ladies, Tom Harkin (Deranged-Iowa) feels your pain menstrual cramps [Darleen Click]
CNS News Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) today justified what the Catholic bishops of the United States have unanimously called an “unjust and illegal mandate” that forces Catholic business owners to provide coverage for free sterilizations, contraceptives and abortion-inducing drugs because, Harkin said, some women need birth control pills to deal with menstrual pain. “There are many women who take birth control pills, for example, because they have terrible menstrual cramps

Rick Perry and the “we understand how politics works, Hobbits” Establishment GOP vs. the TEA Party Constitutionalist who was vocally backed by embarrassingly patriotic state college grad, Sarah Palin
It really should have been on Pay-per-view. I wonder — is Dick Cheney watching the voting? update: AP calls it for Cruz with 20% reporting. No word yet on whether Dick Cheney has called that a mistake.

Now, do I know that that’s true? Well, I’m not certain. But I’m sure, somewhere, his dad, the late Harry Vincent Reid, is sorely disappointed in the lesser Harry. —————- UPDATE I question the timing The latest web ad from Barack Obama’s campaign goes after Mitt Romney for not releasing more tax returns than he already has.

“House to consider eliminating Senate confirmation for presidential appointees” [update]
Constitution? Piffle. Temporary Congresses can just simply vote to do away with checks and balances. For future “streamlining” and “efficiency.” Wouldn’t want the road to serfdom filled with all these procedural potholes, after all. Forward! (h/t sdferr) **** “UPDATE: The House passed the legislation Tuesday night by a vote of 261-116. The bill now goes to President Obama’s desk for his signature.” Next up, Congress will vote to let itself

Frum: “Do guns make us safer?”
Well, they make me safer. And my family safer. And that’s all that matters. To me. Beyond that, there’s not much need to delve into Frum’s tiresome argument, not least because most of the deterrent work of owning a gun doesn’t show up in statistics, largely because they prevent being targeted by criminals in the first place. And in truth, there are very few people who, at that moment just

“White House postpones harmful economic regulations until after the election”
Because though it’s all for our own good, there’s a strong chance we might not see it that way in time — and then we’d vote, you know, incorrectly. Later, when it’s forced on us and we no longer have any recourse to prevent it, then we’ll learn to love it. Like an arranged marriage, kind of. So exotic. So foreign. So noble.
