Life, death, and January 22

I truly wish that I could be in Washington, DC today. The 35th anniversary of the infamous Roe v. Wade ruling will be coupled with the 34th March for Life. Also, the Blogs4Life Conference will be held before the march. As is usually the case, the major politicians will be avoiding the events and issue as much as possible … they want support from pro-lifers, not to antagonize pro-choicers. It is a difficult line that the phonies walk, trying to be acceptable to true believers with mutually-exclusive philosophies.

Two disturbing polls

I went to Rasmussen Reports to look up poll numbers for various states, and instead saw two headlines that terrified me:

51% Say Security More Important than Privacy

57% Want Troops Home from Iraq Within Year

Sadly, neither seems to have been a survey of Iranians. Apparently, these are US folks stating these insane things …
