New York Times: Deaths After Abortion Pill to Be Studied by Officials

Oh really? Isn't that a bit like saying, "Sleepiness after taking sedatives puzzle officials" ?

Here's a story the NYT might be interested in: "Pills approved by FDA despite proven lethal to babies" or something like that ..

"What We Are Made Of"
Scott Mallone
Bee Season

In time I will show you I'm not leaving
That I will wait right here for your love
God knows what we are made of
God knows what we're afraid of

And if you cry, I will comfort you
I will save you
I will sacrifice my life
I will love you for who you are, not who you used to be

In time I will show you, I'm still believing
God knows that if you call I will come to you
I will save you
I will sacrifice my life
I will love you for who you are, not who you used to be

No matter where you are, I'll be with you
No matter who you are, I'll be with you
No matter where you are, I'll protect you
No matter who you are, I will love you.

"Best sellers"

So Drudge is reporting that Jimmy Carter's liberal mindspew has bumped off Al Franken's liberal mindspew on the book sales lists. Guess what book is outselling both of them at Amazon.com?

Sorry guys ...

A poem.

This was offered today on an email list I belong to. It just struck me as witty.

"Intellectual Lover"
Delamar Cooper

It was not an affair
Of conversational flair.
Sundays?
Spent nuzzling.
NOT! New York Times puzzling.
She adored me, she said,
For not reading in bed.
She'd tried men with minds,
But preferred me instead.
If she mentioned Fitzgerald
It wasn't that fella,
But to have me get up
And switch on some Ella.
I pity the scholars
She'd tried and rejected.
Her mind they had courted
While the rest they neglected.

But please,
Don't write me off
As an oaf or a fool;
I've read a few books,
I have been to school.
This lesson I learned
About dealing with Cupid;
If you major in love
You must minor in stupid.
If your mind she despises;
Your body she'd seize,
Then sell all your books
And hide those degrees.
Put in one sentence
My premise is this:
It's wise to be dumb
When the outcome is bliss.

Insert a witty "bun joke" here

From Reuters:

"Quaker Maid Meats Inc. on Tuesday said it would voluntarily recall 94,400 pounds of frozen ground beef panties that may be contaminated with E. coli," Reuters reports.

I've heard of edible panties, but I never once considered that they might be made out of hamburger.
