Beauty is between eyes, mouth of the beholden

btreloar — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 14:31:20 GMT

Looks like these beauty traits aren't easily adjusted by plastic surgery ...

The Associated Press: Judge extends block on Oklahoma abortion law

btreloar — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 13:55:54 GMT

Another Red State at work protecting individual liberty. They probably accuse this "activist judge" of "legislating from the bench".

Quoted: The law would require doctors to report personal information about women who seek abortions and for the information to be posted on a public Web site.

Going Rouge: Sarah Palin An American Nightmare

btreloar — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 18:26:14 GMT

I'm eager to read this.

Quoted: The cover is a parody of hers and it certainly takes some shots and mocks Sarah Palin, but it is a very serious book and the book itself is not a parody. It is not at all intended as a joke or a parody.

We are a nation of busybodies

I couldn't agree more.

Quoted: Poor Tiger Woods. After carefully controlling his image for nearly 15 years as a international celebrity (he was actually on "The Mike Douglas Show" when he was 2, already showing off his golf swing), Woods probably figured that the media might cut him some slack when it came to explaining -- or actually not explaining -- what happened in the wee hours of Nov. 27 when he crashed his car outside his Florida home.
