makes sense knowing that you get your information from comedy shows 
I hear there are some new opportunities opening up for scientists, especially funny ones... in Hollywood..
The U.N., failing to convince the world, turns to Hollywood on global warming
February 22, 2011: “Global warming: The United Nations courts Tinseltown“, Los Angeles Times, California, U.S.A.
“Now the beleaguered multi-national agency, fresh from a disappointing round of climate negotiations in Cancun, wants something more concrete: actual story lines in movies, television and social media drawing attention to the dangers of global warming.…
The day-long gathering will feature panels titled … “Making Global Warming a HOT Issue” …
“The science is clear,” he [Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon] said in an interview. “Climate change will continue unless drastic measures are taken to stop it …. I am sure Hollywood can make good stories from this,” he said.

Bryan, what I hear is the daily sound of 4,000 babies begging for their lives, and losing the argument...it's not a particularly pretty sound.
I hope we can talk about fishing again soon...cabin fever...

Can you expand on that, please? Who doesn't value life after birth? |

Most religious people I know that are "pro-life" also support the death penalty. |

Johnny, do you really see a contradiction between being anti-abortion and pro death penalty? In order for that to be a contradiction, that necessarily means that you think the killing of an unborn baby, and the execution of a mass-murderer, are morally equivalent.
In my opinion, the execution of an unborn baby and the execution of a mass murderer are not only NOT morally equivalent, they are about as different as can be. An unborn baby, by definition, has not had a chance to harm anybody. And the unborn baby doesn't get a chance to support his cause in the abortion process. Mass murderers have committed a horrible crime, and also have all kinds of due process available to them.
Apples and oranges, don't you think?
Now, what is completely illogical is the liberal notion that says that the death penalty is wrong, but abortion is OK. Those people are saying that Osama Bin Laden has more of a right to live than an unborn baby. How many bad acid trips does it take to arrive at that insane conclusion? |

The good book says that no life should be taken. The life of that collection of cells at conception are just as sacred as the life of a rapist. |

That was perhaps the least funny thing I've ever seen on the Daily Show.

Yeah, it seemed that the audience didn't know when they were supposed to laugh. Probably because there wasn't much worth laughing at.
That chick is much funnier on Flight of the Conchords. |
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

The delivery was terrible.
Agree on the subject though. PP takes heat for the abortion issue but the variety of other woman's health services they provide is very important and adds a lot of value to society especially lower income women who don't have care.
I guess the other option would be to make PP obsolete via a single payer government system
