After 80 years of print, the DAILY VARIETY stops the press in favor of focusing on the web..
Even more alarmingly, Gosnell instructed unlicensed workers to sedate patients with dangerous drugs in his absence… In addition, he regularly performed abortions beyond the 24-week limit prescribed by law. As a result, viable babies were born. Gosnell killed them by plunging scissors into their spinal cords. He taught his staff to do the same

At the trial, a worker admitted killing at least 10 babies by cutting their spines..
If you’re pro-life you’re disgusted by this story.
And if you’re pro-choice, I trust you’re disgusted as well..
This is truly a house of horrors..
This was Blake Miller, the famed ‘Marlboro Man’ of the Iraq war.
One simple image changed his life..
Today’s Iraq war news articles have been quite the stroll down amnesia lane…
Long range forecasts do continue to suggest a major snowstorm for the region early next week, with snow possible for places like Washington, DC, Philadelphia, PA, and New York City. Unlike tomorrow’s weak, light passing system, the next storm could be quite significant.

And I agree, from the models I have been watching, this could be a big one..
I have two reactions to this story from the UK DAILY MAIL about springer breakers gone bad.
1) It’s the DAILY MAIL, and they want to show scantily clad images of kids to sell some ad space and scare parents.
2) It’s the future of the world, being arrested for binge drinking… looking horridly ugly.. beer goggles to the utmost. Yep, the kids aren’t alright.
I think this calls for TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE, part 2.
Pro Iraq War protesters protesting the anti-war protestors, Boston, 2003.
The Iraq War turns 10 today and has taken over 125,000 human lives.
Today in protests that look awkward in retrospect.
I don’t miss these days..
The Pope is clearly already a rock star.. This morning he rode an open air vehicle to mass in Vatican City to a crowd going wild.. But he stopped briefly at a man who was clearly disabled in some way..
This is what a Pope should be.
March 19, 2003: President Bush announced that the nation was at war…
Yep.. 10 long years ago ..
And we know what happened since.
This seems to be a truly tragic and sick story from Pontiac, Michigan. This woman, a 75-year-old grandmother named Sandra Layne, gunned down her 17-year-old grandson named Jonathon Hoffman.
Prosecutors called the scene a massacre, and want Layne to be convicted of murder.. Layne says it was in self defense, and that Hoffman in self-defense..
According to the AP report on the shooting:
Layne testified last week that she was afraid of her grandson and acted in self-defense. She said she shot him after he struck her while arguing over his demands for money and a plan to flee Michigan. Hoffman had failed a drug test earlier that day, which could have been a parole violation.
Walton reminded jurors that Layne didn’t report any injuries to police when they arrived at her home after the shooting.
"Not I was afraid, I acted in self-defense, he came after me," Walton said. "I murdered. I shot. I killed — those are her first statements to law enforcement. … She hunted down Jonathan Hoffman because he wouldn’t listen."
He called it a “massacre.”
I don’t know how the jury will find her.. I can’t say I heard about this until today. And every murder is tragic.. but something seems exceptionally tragic about a grandmother shooting her grandson, regardless of why..
No word on what role Dennis Rodman would play.. or whose side he’d be on anyway.
AND ANOTHER STORM! AND ANOTHER STORM! AND ANOTHER STORM! AND ANOTHER STORM! AND ANOTHER STORM! AND ANOTHER STORM! AND ANOTHER STORM! AND ANOTHER STORM! AND ANOTHER STORM! AND ANOTHER STORM! AND ANOTHER STORM! AND ANOTHER STORM! AND ANOTHER STORM! AND ANOTHER STORM! AND ANOTHER STORM! AND ANOTHER STORM! AND ANOTHER STORM!
What am I talking about?
The Northeast.. my home base of Pennsylvania.. And Pennsyltucky, too. A Facebook page I follow (which has been quite accurate this year) is Weatherboy Weather.. Tonight on the page, the weatherboy writes,
If you’re not a fan of wintry weather, you’re not going to like this…
Mid and long range models show more winter weather is on the way for the Mid Atlantic and Northeast, with another threat of accumulating snow likely early next week. There does not appear to be any significant warm-up for the balance of the month. In this region, you’ll need to wait longer for milder spring weather to arrive.
I almost had to laugh when I saw it.. I almost had to … cringe when I thought about it.
I checked some other weather sources and actually checked some other weather models on my own that I had bookmarked, and .. yes.. there is a storm on the map. It would be wintry. And this is the winter that never ends..
Not to be…well…overly politically minded, but was this perhaps a reason Hillary Clinton made big news today by announcing support for gay marriage?? Taking the spotlight off of something potentially .. upsetting? Just a thought.
