This current edition of If You Aren't Outraged...
You must not be paying attention.
The Pat Tillman/Jessica Lynch hearings. I don't even know where to begin with my outrage on behalf of these two and their families. Nothing was being covered about that when I watched the news yesterday. But everyone's got an opinion on Alec Baldwin. I wouldn't mind if we were going to use it as a time to talk about emotional abuse of children or something productive, but naturally we aren't.
Alberto "I don't remember recalling" Gonzales. Watching what I could stomach of that debacle, I kept waiting for a member of Congress to pull a Grey's Anatomy, put down their pen, take off their reading glasses and just say, "Seriously?"
And I'm still fuming over last week and the comments that students should have taken down the gunman at Tech while he was reloading. Are you fucking kidding me? Oh, and the Supreme Court abortion decision that doesn't allow for exceptions for the health of the woman. Never mind what that pesky American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology thinks.
And I'm eagerly awaiting what's being taped on my VCR right now (you know, what you used before tivo) - Buying the War - a doc on PBS by Bill Moyers. That should keep me outraged for a few more days, at least.

i can't. i just can't. my rage over the abortion decision alone cannot be contained, and after having numerous discussions on the subject last week, i just can't start again. other than to ask if you read this statement by NJ congressman chris smith: "Since 1973, almost 49 million babies have been slaughtered by what is euphemistically called choice, making abortion a weapon of mass destruction." or this, from the president of operation rescue? "The court has now said it's OK to ban procedures. We can do more than just put hurdles in front of women seeking abortions - we can put roadblocks in front of them." hate, hate, hate.
