There was something that I almost forgotten about. I want to comment briefly upon the subject of the filibuster and the immediate aftermath.
The comment will be short because time is short and I don't know much about it.
A few things. This morning, being somewhat uninspired by the news, I went over to the left wing site, The Mahablog, to look around.
When I was there, I noticed that she took exception to Governor Perry of Texas and called him an "asshole".
Without too much further detail, I would suspect this is for calling the Texas Legislature back into session after the filibuster against an abortion bill. The bill was something to the effect of regulating late term abortions, those after 20 weeks, if memory serves.
It has been established recently that there has been some misbehavior in abortion clinics ( Gosnell Trial ). It certainly appears reasonable to have some regulation of abortion clinics.
Secondly, there was Obama's reaction. He praised the filibuster. This gives the impression, along with the Mahablog, of unreasonableness on the issue. What's the problem with some regulation? If they are so concerned about the youngsters, why not be concerned about the murder of live children being born in an abortion clinic?
That's about all. There's this tendency toward extremism on the left these days.
