Random Musings

Ok, should I talk about the Bill O'Reilly thing? I mean seriously, blow up Coit Tower because of a political difference? Either ignore it or laugh at the silliness of his "logic."
I could go on and deconstruct his thought process, but we're all intelligent people here, so there's no need for me to state what we already know. But just for old times sake: Bill's Sex Scandal.

On another note, it's unseasonably warm in the City, been that way for a couple of days, and I'm not liking it...(stop me from becoming a Larry King column...)

You want more Federal government corruption? Here's a two-fer:

#1) Kenneth Y Tomlinson, former chairman for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, "broke federal law and repeatedly violated the organization's rules and code of ethics in his efforts to promote conservatives in the system, an endeavor that included consultation with White House officials, according to the findings of an internal investigation made public Tuesday."

Basically, he tried to make PBS more conservative, (by breaking rules) and then lied about it. As a Bush appointee, he sounds like he's doing a heckuva job.

#2) " Top federal health officials may have rejected easier access to the morning-after pill before reviewing all the scientific evidence, according to an independent audit Monday that renewed charges that politics trumped science."
So, the conservatives in congress decided that their own personal beliefs are more important than scientific fact (hmmm...a common problem with these guys?)

The article goes on: "Monday's report is the latest blow to the credibility of an agency that by law is supposed to base decisions on science, not politics or industry pressure. Top-ranking FDA officials have acknowledged they overruled their own scientists' decision that nonprescription sales of emergency birth control would be safe — and the agency's women's health chief resigned in protest."

And that's how our government spends our tax dollars...

If you still have some leftover anger, how about sending it Target's way:
Target still will refuse to dispense the "Plan B" or morning after pill, if the individual pharmacist has a "moral objection" to the pill.
