I mean, is there some weird Freudian psycho thing going on with American females? Are they sublimating the hatred they should have for people parting out people and projecting it onto white males who hunt?
Or are white males sublimating the hatred they should have towards lion killers, projecting it onto middle aged females who enjoy discussing human butchery over a nice lunch?
I don't think he should be shot. I do think females lack the DNA to kill things. We hate trophy hunting. We get all pissed off when we see another female wearing a real fur coat. I'm generalizing of course, but it's true.
I too find this dentist repulsive. I guess he's killed over 40 big game. After the dentist and his helpers found the ID tag around the lion's neck, they took it off and hung it on a tree then they be-headed and skinned the lion.
I also think people should be allowed to care about both.
Yeah, I agree with that. But I also sense a "circle the wagons" type thing going on. If a white male had been discussing parting out fetuses over even a hamburger, imagine the outrage in the media.
I wonder where that sort of arrogance comes from though.
Maybe the sex-selective arrogance comes from the fact that women can devalue the unborn precisely because they think that any woman can do that -- make a little sack of flesh that could be sold. It's no biggie.
But a noble lion -- that is something that a woman cannot make. And a man destroyed it!
I can only tell you how I feel. I'm not that sophisticated. It just seems horrible to kill something innocent. To hunt something innocent and to do so in a manner that is unsportsmanlike.
oh hey - it seems horrible to kill a viable fetus! the essence of innocence. and then sell the parts even though it's ILLEGAL.
years of being DE-sensitized and told "it's just a clump of cells and a choice" can really make people callus.
And, putting aside whether one is "pro-life" or "pro-choice", the nature of the abortions in those other countries is different: [] In France abortion is legal up to 12 weeks; Italy, 13 weeks; Norway, 18 weeks, but it requires the approval of a government commission. Nowhere else in the western world takes 39-week-old "fetuses", delivers them sufficiently to preserve the commercially valuable parts and then crushes the non-sellable parts in order to preserve a technical denial of infanticide. That is a uniquely American evil, and Americans should be utterly ashamed of it. American liberals ought to understand that in far more left-wing societies (Scandinavia, the Netherlands, France) they do not do this - because it's not a left/right thing, it's a good/bad thing, and Planned Parenthood's abortion-industrial complex is on the wrong side of that divide."
The Clinton Enrichment Project for Africa has a program where fetal matter is used to feed abandoned lion cubs in the bush. The crunchy parts are said to help the adorable cubs develop strong teeth. Your contributions are tax deductible.
So, I was at the TV at 8 and flipping channels and I saw that the Maddow show was coming on MSNBC. I watched the first 15 minutes out of curiosity, mainly as to what she would lead with.
Interestingly, she spent the whole 15 on Clinton's health report. There was a long timeline about the concussion and blood clot (with video archives of the mixed early reports) which while it was nominally supportive had a clearly (to me) negative subtext in two ways.
One was a grudging dissatisfaction with the secrecy that surrounded the injury and clot and the time it took to find out the details, some of which, according to Maddow, were unknown until today.
The other was her insistence that the viewers understood that Clinton's "transverse sinus venous thrombosis" was actually a BLOOD CLOT ON HER BRAIN. I capped that because that's the way Maddow said it. Repeatedly. With emphasis, and not in a sympathetic manner.
All in all I was quite pleased. She doesn't seem to be a very big Clinton fan right now. But I'm sure she'll come through in the clutch if Hill gets the nomination.
@ Chickelit .. I missed my chance to see him at the Lincoln Center in Fort Collins circa 1985. No regrets.
I've never seen him live. I suppose if I really wanted to I could track him down in person. I have client/friends who know him personally. They attended his wedding in Tahoe a few years ago. (returned home and asked for my help with his wedding gift)
I don't attend live concerts anymore. not-interested in the hoopla and crowds (+I suffer with annoying loud-noise triggered tinnitus) to care about live shows - even favorite bands. The only regret I have is missing KD Lang at Chautauqua a few years ago.

A female coworker of mine actually said yesterday about the dentist: " "That guy should be shot!"
I was stunned and silent. I wonder where that sort of arrogance comes from though. It must be taught.

Maybe both.
The "weird Freudian psycho thing" was not lost on Rubio.

We gals, we don't relate to wanting to do this.
I also think people should be allowed to care about both.
The PP thing is a huge story and it is being swept under the rug by the DNC media.
Rubio is right - but it's based on the media attention.
or lack of attention...

You won't get any argument from me on the media's hand picked narratives and selective outrage.
btw- I don't know why I like Bruce Cockburn, but I do. Thanks for the vids.

Maybe it's his look? :) Did you catch his parting shot in the second video? He's all about French beret and designer scarf. Barf.

No - not his look. He's not physically appealing to me. I'm mean - not bad, but not my type. So, that's not it. I like how he plays the gee-tar.

I like what Mark Steyn had to say.

Planned Parenthood's abortion-industrial complex
that should catch on.

This ends tonight's media report.
thanks, Rebel. I get my media on the web, and I count your report as web-media and am thusly informed.
@Rabel: That Maddow health report on Clinton could foreshadow an HRC withdrawal for health reasons--just as Paglia predicted.
