Birdie, this one is for you. This is an example of a bow tie wearing idiot conservative getting b**** slapped.
Jon Stewart from the Daily Show was on Crossfire. He criticizes Crossfire for being theater and not a true debate show. The response of the hosts just goes to prove how right he is. You can see the entire clip at http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2652831
There is also a clip of the Daily Show on Monday after the Crossfire incident where Stewart comments on what happened. http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2653047
I've never seen any of those guys, have no idea who they are. But I clicked and looked. Sat through a lot of commercial junk. Wow. It was so boring, I can't believe anyone laughed, or thought it was news worthy, or people get paid to do that. Who writes that stuff? Maybe you have to be really tired at the end of the day, or have a few beers or something. zzzzzzzz
I can't believe you don't see the humor in the clip. Trust me, most everyone else is laughing.
Who write's this stuff?
What you saw was not scripted. That is what made it so great.
Thank you Biblio. I appreciated your posting the links, and I enjoyed both videos thoroughly. Maybe it's time some of us to get caught up with pop-culture, cause they've got a lot of important stuff to say. Tune in, or at least set the VCR. Most of what they have to say is in the realm of "The Emperor's New Clothes", in other words...tell the truth about what everyone else is "spinning."
[in other words...tell the truth about what everyone else is "spinning." ]
Yeah but birdie, then you'll be spinning.
I had heard about the exchange but thanks for the links it was fun to watch. I don't think he was funny, or trying to be. Stewart suddenly thinks he has political importance when in fact he's the 'emperor with no clothes'.
He made the same argument against Crossfire I ran into when I first started SHUSH, "we'd love a conservative to debate with, you're just not what we had in mind." I'm not a CF fan but unless Stewart is willing to actually go toe to toe with them on an actual topic and instead of just whine about the media not doing their job he should just button it.
Stewart pointed out, quite appropriately, that he's a COMEDIAN. Not a "commentator" or "pundit" or "expert" or "journalist." If they want to invite him on Crossfire, then they should be prepared for whatever he wants to dish out in whatever format he wishes to dish it.
No, he was hiding behind that title so he wouldn't have to commit to anything. First he'd accuse them of not doing their jobs and then he'd say "i'm just a comedian!" when asked why he couldn't do better. If he thinks he can do better he should go ahead and try.
Dude, I am a conservative and I think the Crossfire guys got tromped. You don't criticize a joke news show on the Comedy Channel for it's journalistic standards. Hiding behind the comedian title would be if Stewart had a show on CNN that was meant to be serious but whenever challenged Stewart would claim that he was a comedian.
I think his criticism of the Crossfire show was totally justified. If all Crossfire can do is attack the Daily Show as their defense then they are on weak ground. They never made any argument of any quality to rebut what Stewart criticized them for.
Does Stewart have a spin? Sure! But his show is on the Comedy Channel and does not hold itself out as a "news" show. If someone is watching the Daily Show for their "news" then we probably have other problems to worry about.
They made a lame defense but I don't think they were planning on having to defend themselves. Which is kinda dumb considering Tucker's starting questions. But that doesn't change the fact that Stewart thinks he's more then a comedian whether he admits to it or not...
"Does Stewart have a spin? Sure! But his show is on the Comedy Channel and does not hold itself out as a "news" show. If someone is watching the Daily Show for their "news" then we probably have other problems to worry about."
They got an award this year for news programming. They didn't decline it. In fact I just watched Stewart the other night trying debate Mayor Koch. He kept trying to play 'gotcha', there was no humor just his own lame attempt at spinning.
Dave Barry used to do a column perodically called something like 'grammar lady; where the main joke was
"Dear Grammar lady - is 'I is stupid' correct? Joe, Cleveland
Grammary Lady - Sorry joe, that's is incorrect. The correct grammar is 'I are stupid'. "
The next week he would do the column about the people who wrote in complaining about grammar lady's grammar. He usually called these people 'humor impaired'.
John's has said multple times that the whole premise of the show is to make fun of the sad state of 'news' in the U.S. That's why John was arguing with Tucker for 10 minutes, because Tucker wanted to know why John doesn't ask hard journalistic questions, and John is trying to explain that his job is making fun of people like Tucker!
They accepted the award because its pretty funny when a fake news show wins a news award!
When Ed Koch was on, John is just trying to get him to slip up so he can tell a wisecrack or two. They do that part of the show because they are too lazy to write another 5 minute sketch. Its also usually the funniest part of the show.
I think its ok to say 'I don't find the Daily Show to be funny', but your posts read like grammar lady complaint letters...

Romo Gets Pro Bowl Nod in NFC, Brady Doesn't in AFC
A half-season of starts was enough for the Dallas Cowboys' Tony Romo to become a Pro Bowl quarterback.
The Pro Bowl selections have been announced and Romo made the NFC team, along with fellow quarterbacks Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints and Marc Bulger of the St. Louis Rams.
The AFC quarterbacks are the Indianapolis Colts' Peyton Manning, the Cincinnati Bengals' Carson Palmer and the San Diego Chargers' Philip Rivers. In his first season as a starter, Rivers has helped the Chargers to a 12-2 record and he gets the Pro Bowl nod over Tom Brady, the three-time Super Bowl winner who has the New England Patriots in first place in the AFC East at 10-4.

He wasn't selected for the Pro Bowl (Brady) because when he WAS selected last year, he snubbed it, cried injury, and then romped around Pebble Beach for at least 72 holes with his dad during the Pro Bowl(Includes practice holes). I was there and followed him for a few holes, he was healthy as a horse. WHY ISN'T ANYONE SAYING THE TRUTH HERE, VOTERS WERE PAYING HIM BACK AND SNUBBING HIM FOR HIS PREVIOUS YEAR SNUB!! SICK OF HEARING THAT HE WAS SNUBBED!!

I'm about to frame in the basement wall where my home theater system will be mounted. I was thinking about framing a double wall so I can have a recessed TV. Would having recessed front speakers and subwoofer be okay? Or would that affect sound quality?
Also, my left/right speakers of my 5.1 system would be best placed above head level on the walls. Is this okay for sound quality? Thanks. Joel |

Most major brand televisions will, or at least used to, list requirements for recessed in-wall mounting. That would include the space needed above, below, and on the sides of the television for proper ventilation. As far as speakers, the center can be wall mounted just below the screen and the FL & FR mounted at ear level height to the left & right of the screen on the front wall. You may have to do some trial & error on insulation behind the speakers for best sound quality. You may also wish to purchase FL & FR speakers with an adjustable internal mount for the speakers themselves to optimize direction. For the sub-woofer, a doghouse type opening often works better where the sub sits on the floor directly and eliminates vibrations and rattles in the wall. The rears should mount about 2-3 feet above ear level on the back wall near the corners. Again, adjustable wall mount speakers are helpful here as well. Remember 5.1 speaker placement is very directional and is meant to bring the proper imaging to the viewer as was intended in the audio mix of the movie. |
Having your left and right speakers recessed or wall mounted will affect sound staging and the imaging. Have the level of the tweeters at seated ear level (about 40" off of the floor). |

In 1999, Chenoweth graduated from UT with a Master of Fine Arts in Painting and worked as an artist in galleries for several years before creating her online gallery, Generous Art, in 2011.
"Be Generous. Buy Art," is the slogan for the nonprofit, which was established as an online gallery. When individuals purchase art through the site, artists receive 50 percent of the income and another 30 percent goes towards a nonprofit of the buyer's choice. Chenoweth built this gallery model after spending years in the traditional gallery industry, where, she said, most of the profits went to galleries instead of artists.
"I realized how totally broken all of the models were out in the art world," Chenoweth said. "I'm pretty good at doing business. You show up, say what you're going to do and fill a need, do a good job and get paid. The art world just doesn't work like that."

Chris Cameron-Dow is a sports journalist and amateur racing driver. Chris blogs at Chrisonf1.com and tweets as @chrisonf1.
May 9th 2012 (F1plus / Chris Cameron-Dow).- Michael Schumacher has had a miserable start to the season, statistically the worst in his Formula One career. Two retirements, two tenth places and only two points from the first four races cannot be satisfying, particularly given the pace of this year's car.
On the positive side, Schumacher's qualifying performances (aside from Bahrain) have been electrifying. Fourth in Australia, third in Malaysia and second on the grid in China show that Schumacher is on the pace. And Mercedes have finally given the seven-time World Champion a car that can win races, as team-mate Nico Rosberg demonstrated by winning the Chinese Grand Prix in dominant fashion.
So what's gone wrong for Schumacher?
In Australia, his gearbox failed while he was running third. Although the team claims to have solved the gearbox issue and there have been no further failures, Mercedes chose to change Schumacher's gearbox in Malaysia, suggesting that there might be some lingering concerns
In Malaysia, he was spun by Romain Grosjean, which put him down in 16th place on the first lap and effectively ended his challenge for serious points. Although Schumacher was not at fault, he was a little slow off the line which allowed Grosjean to pass him into turn one. A better race start could have prevented the incident entirely.
In China, a loose wheel after a pitstop error forced him to retire from second place. Not his fault, but the team knew immediately that there was a problem. Why didn't they get on the radio and tell him to stop before leaving the pits?
In Bahrain, a DRS problem on his first prime tyre run in qualifying saw him start the race 22nd, recovering well to 10th by the end. But the question has to be asked: Could Schumacher not have qualified better, using option tyres in Q1, even without the benefit of DRS?
It's been a rough start to the season for Schumacher. There are things that could have been done differently, but overall he has been unlucky. The good news is that the car is quick. All that is required now is for everything to come together over a whole race weekend. When it does, the most successful driver in history should be back at the front.

Midtown West
Good and Plenty to Go
Midtown West
New York, NY, 10024, United States
Thirty-five years ago, Eileen Weinberg opened a take-out eatery under an arcade on the western edge of the Broadway Theatre District, where she offered home-style comfort food at a gourmet level and used only the freshest ingredients. As ubiquitous as the concept is nowadays, Good and Plenty to Go maintains its lunch-time niche owing to theatrically inspired sandwiches like Standing Ovation Ham & Cheese, Tour de Force Turkey Delight, and the top seller, Smash Hit Tuna Salad. With its tight space, inside is standing room only, but a few seats are available outdoors (be on the lookout for famous regulars, such as Ralph Lauren and Anderson Cooper).
Insider Tip:
Much of Good and Plenty to Go's business is in catering, and the company prides itself on custom menus for any budget.

A Greek vs. Turk 'Survivor' just may ease a bitter past
The Turkish version of the reality TV show pits the historic rivals against each other – and is improving relations.
Call it hyper-reality TV. For its second season, the Turkish version of the popular "Survivor" reality-TV series upped the ante. It deposited a group of 20 Greeks and Turks on a deserted island and pitted the historic rivals against each other in a battle to see who will be the last one standing.
Taking ancient animosities and turning them into fodder for prime-time entertainment has certainly paid off. The show – a Turkish-Greek co-production running simultaneously in both countries – has been a big hit on each side of the Aegean.
But rather than stoking those hostilities, the show is being seen as an example of how popular culture is helping improve Turkish-Greek relations. When it comes to rapprochement, say observers, popular culture is outpacing the politicians. Just this week, Turkey's bid for European Union membership broke down over the country's refusal to open its ports to Greek Cypriot trade.
"From the perspective of high politics – negotiations among politicians and things like that – the momentum [in Turkish-Greek relations] has been lost. From the perspective of low politics, Greek-Turkish cooperation is developing a sustainable basis," says Bahar Rumelili, a professor of international relations at Istanbul's Koc University who studies Turkish-Greek relations.
"The Greek-Turkish hostilities are almost becoming caricaturized. The stereotypes they have of each other are becoming a theme of entertainment. Rather than aggravating tensions, they have the opposite effect."
Turkey and Greeks have certainly moved beyond the centuries-old belligerence that characterized their relations until even a decade ago. A devastating 1999 earthquake that rocked both countries led to joint relief efforts that paved the way for a new era of warmer relations that seem to have sparked a popular interest in how the other side thinks and feels. Several recent films have explored the Turkish-Greek divide, while in Turkey, Greek pop records are consistent chart toppers.

Glee star Naya Rivera tells Latina about her relationship with rapper Big Sean and outlines how she stays grounded while skyrocketing to fame in the October 2013 issue of Latina, which hits newsstands and Nook Newsstand on September 10, 2013.
An estimated 20.9 million men, women and children are trafficked for commercial sex or forced labor around the world.
Of those 20.9 million 26 percent are children, according to the International Labour Organization.
Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard, CA-D, has reintroduced the Child Trafficking Victims Protection Act in order to protect vulnerable children at the border.
Denisse Montalvan -- a successful public relations professional who was born in Costa Rica and raised in Nicaragua -- is one Latina who is making us very proud!
Montalvan began making and selling jewelry to help her in paying for tuition and books while she was a student at California State University, Dominguez Hills.

Car Seat Confusion
Britax Seats
Shopping for a car seat can be an overwhelming process. There are dozens of choices, but what exactly are the differences between them? Are the more expensive seats safer? What should you pay for, and what should you not worry about? The good news is that every car seat sold in the U.S. must be tested by the manufacturer to meet government standards. "They all provide good protection if they are used correctly," says Mike James, Alabama's Statewide Child Passenger Safety Coordinator. "What you need to think about is which seat will best fit the build and behavior of your child, the design of your car, and your lifestyle," he adds. Here are some outstanding car seats for every age and stage.
Rear-facing infant-only seats with a five-point harness are not a mandatory purchase, but they generally provide the best fit for very young babies. If you have more than one car, consider buying extra bases so you don't have to reinstall the seat every time you switch to a different car.
Britax Companion
What's so special: Not only does the Companion have an inflatable headpiece to provide extra side-impact protection for baby's head, but a special rebound bar helps reduce movement of the car seat during a crash. Whether or not these features are truly advantageous, the Companion is both easy to install and easy to use. Like the Chicco KeyFit, the Companion has an extra-low harness strap position and a minimum weight of 4 pounds, which makes it a good choice for lower birth weight or premature babies. The downside? Besides its steep cost, the Companion is heavy and long, which can make it incompatible with some smaller cars.
These seats are called convertibles because these seats face rear for infants and young toddlers, and then they convert to forward-facing seats to accommodate little ones as they grow. (As noted earlier, experts recommend that you buy an infant-only seat for newborns because the seat will fit them better.) You should keep convertible seats in their rear-facing position until your child reaches the maximum rear-facing weight and height allowed by the seat -- that's 30 or 35 pounds in most cases. Kids should then sit in the seat facing forward until they outgrow it by the specified height or weight.
Britax Parkway
What's so special: If you take long car trips or have a big-time napper, consider splurging on the Parkway. It provides good side-impact protection, and its side wings provide a comfortable resting place for sleepy heads and help keep kids safely in position. Try it out with your child in the store first, though; some find the side wings too confining.
Britax Roundabout
What's so special: If you can find a little wiggle room in your budget, this Britax seat is the real deal, winning raves because it's so intelligently designed and easy to use. And as technicians know, the easier a car seat is to use, the more likely it is to be installed correctly. The Roundabout is a prime choice in the line, even though Britax has introduced pricier models with higher weight limits and extra safety features. "It's not overly large, so it fits in most vehicles easily and accommodates average-size kids very well until they are ready to go into a booster," says DiFilippo.

I love your friendship theme of this show. I think all of us need reminders of how important our friends are even if they move away. I also like how you talk about making new friends and why this is important as well. You are very lucky that you know so much about how to be a friend –that's hard work! What's very cool too is that you know that through our friendships we can also work with even more people to spread awareness and create changes.

A registered dietician offers advice on how to help your child stick to a healthy diet during the holiday season when temptation abounds.
Your child is on a diet, but the holidays bring many sweet and sugary foods along with relatives who want to "spoil" him. Here, Tricia Polenz, a registered dietician who practices in Westchester County, offers advice on how to keep your child eating healthy during the season of temptation and diet sabotage.
"First, let's make sure your child should actually be on a diet. Calorie restriction for weight loss among children can negatively impact healthy growth and development and should be approached with caution. A good way to start assessing your child's weight is by downloading a "BMI for age" chart from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website. The chart includes the standard formula for calculating your child's BMI, a measure of body fat based on height and weight. Although not a perfect measure of body fat, the BMI is an easily accessible and reliable indicator of whether or not your child is a healthy weight. The growth chart also allows you to determine where your child's BMI falls relative to children of the same age and gender in the United States. If your child's BMI falls between the 5th and 85th percentiles on the growth chart, he is at a healthy weight. If his BMI is above the 85th percentile he is overweight, and if his BMI is above the 95th percentile, he is obese.
"Whether or not your child is overweight, do your best to encourage a nutrient-rich diet that supports healthy growth and development. As a general rule, this means consuming as many whole, unprocessed foods as possible and limiting beverages with added sugar.
"Encouraging a healthy diet for your child also includes being realistic. Telling your child he cannot enjoy holiday treats may make him feel deprived, crave the "forbidden foods" even more, and cause resentment toward you. Also, asking relatives not to offer treats to your child can cause hurt feelings. None of these potential outcomes are what anyone wants over the holidays. Therefore, unless your child has health issues that necessitate certain dietary restrictions, he should do what we all should do over the holidays, which is to indulge sensibly. For instance, if there are several desserts on the holiday table, suggest choosing two favorites and enjoying a sensible slice of each. Or let your child have a forkful of several desserts. Remind him there is always tomorrow to have another taste. If your child still wants to eat more, take a big picture view of the scenario. One or two days of indulging will not "weigh in" over time. Remember, enjoying the holidays should be one of your child's great pleasures—and one of mom's too!"
Tricia Polenz MS, RD, CDN, is a registered dietician and the founder of Westchester Weight Loss & Wellness.

Stanley a 10 year old Parsons Jack Russell.
Jo has owned Stanley since he was a puppy. He came from the VWH Hunt and is a great ratter and loves being at the yard, however he is slightly neurotic and can't cope with fireworks. He usually jumps in the bath and hides, even if you are in it at the time!
Jo started to feed Stanley 'Calm' whenever there were fireworks nearby. Stanley is now much calmer and on fireworks night can be found curled up, relaxed in his basket.

Take it from the state's oldest and largest reproductive nonprofit health care provider –No matter what his political advertisements say,
Scott Walker has put women's health and safety at risk
Madison, WI – Tanya Atkinson, Executive Director for Planned Parenthood Advocates ofWisconsin, (PPAWI) the advocacy arm of PPWI, issued the following statement regarding ScottWalker's record of taking away essential and even life saving health care from thousands ofwomen during his term as Governor.
"Scott Walker's actions speak louder than his words ever will. Scott Walker's actionsunderscore this simple fact: he cannot be trusted when it comes to protecting women's healthand safety. In fact, Scott Walker has devastated women's health, safety and financial securityby forcing the shut-down of Planned Parenthood health centers that provided preventive healthcare, including cancer screenings, birth control and well-women exams, and threatening theavailability of safe, legal abortion services for women.

Planned Parenthood Wins Lawsuit Protecting Access to Safe and Legal Early Abortion Using Medication
MADISON, WI— Earlier today, a state court granted Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin's motion for a declaratory judgment, which ensures Wisconsin women will continue to access safe and legal medication abortion. On December 12, 2012, Planned Parenthood filed suit against the attorney general and other officials responsible for enforcing Wis. Stat. Sec. 253.105. The lawsuit sought relief from the vague and ambiguous provisions which threatened criminal prosecution of physicians providing medication abortion services.

Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin: We Are Going to Court to Protect Our Patients
Federal Lawsuit to be Filed Challenging Wisconsin Hospital Staff Privileges Requirement in SB 206
MADISON- WI — To protect women's health and access to safe and legal abortion in Wisconsin, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin announced today that they will be challenging SB 206 in federal court as soon as the Governor signs it into law. On Wednesday, the Governor requested SB 206 - a fast tracked bill that was passed in less than 1 week - indicating his intent to sign the bill into law within the next few days. SB 206 will jeopardize women's health by shutting down two abortion health centers and decreasing capacity by at least 50% in one of the two remaining abortion health centers in Wisconsin. Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin, represented by Cullen Weston Pines & Bach and attorneys at Planned Parenthood Federation of America and Affiliated Medical Services represented by the American Civil Liberties Union, will be filing suit in federal court to block Senate Bill 206, which requires abortion providers to have staff admitting privileges at a local hospital. PPWI is asking the federal district court in the Western District of Wisconsin to immediately enjoin SB 206 which will significantly reduce abortion access in Wisconsin in violation of the federal Constitution. SB 206 violates both the due process rights under the Federal Constitution of both PPWI and its patients.
7/1/2013 Contact: Stephanie Wilson 608-256-7549 x 2132 Planned Parenthood Pledges to Remain a Ready Health Care Resource for Women and Men MADISON- Yesterday, Governor Walker signed the Biennial State Budget Act 20 which cuts almost 100,000 Wisconsin citizens from Badgercare and leaves massive and costly health coverage gaps for Wisconsin citizens making over $11,490 a year. Although billions of federal dollars were available to enhance health coverage for Wisconsin individuals in need, Governor Walker rejected this money which will result in the loss of health care access and cost Wisconsin taxpayers billions of dollars. Until the start of the Walker administration, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin, the state's oldest and largest reproductive non-profit health care provider had been working for decades with both Republican and Democratic policymakers to ensure that all people have access to high quality affordable health care. This budget is yet another a drastic step in the wrong direction. Despite these political challenges to health care access in Wisconsin, Planned Parenthood's remaining 23 health centers remain a ready resource for individuals in need of essential health care. "Governor Walker's proposal to end cost effective health care coverage that ensures many women and families have access to essential health care is disastrous public policy," said Tanya Atkinson, Executive Director of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin. "Hard-working Wisconsin families deserve quality health coverage to get lifesaving care when they need it, without facing costly medical bills. For 78 years, Planned Parenthood has been there for people in need of essential affordable health care and we will continue to be there for our patients during this time of increasing need."

Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin Closes Chippewa Falls Health Center
Loss of Cancer Screens, Birth Control Supported by Governor Walker,
Senator Moulton, and Representative Bernier
MADISON- Today, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin closed its health center in Chippewa Falls after 28 years of caring for thousands of patients. This center closure and those in three other communities comes as a direct result of budget cuts directed at Planned Parenthood's patients supported by Governor Walker, Senator Moulton and Representative Bernier in the last budget cycle. Despite the cost-effective health benefits and need for continued access to preventive, essential health care, Governor Walker, Senator Moulton and Representative Bernier voted to end care for their constituents at the only health care provider offering affordable, essential reproductive health care in Chippewa Falls. Patients seeking cancer screens, wellness exams, birth control, and STD testing and treatment will now need to travel to the Planned Parenthood health center in Eau Claire. The governor's current budget proposal threatens the availability of existing affordable patient care at providers like Planned Parenthood unless the public responds.
"For 78 years, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin has been providing high quality health care for up to 70,000 women and families and we will continue to put the needs of our patients first," said Tanya Atkinson Executive Director of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin. "Ensuring every patient continues to receive affordable, quality health care, without interruption, remains our top priority. Senator Moulton and Representative Bernier's previous votes to block health care access, their implicit support of the governor's health care proposals, and misunderstanding of their own community's health care needs and provider options challenges the future availability of affordable health care. Voting to eliminate the only source of affordable, preventive, lifesaving health care in their own community underscores just how out of touch Senator Moulton and Representative Bernier are with the needs of their constituents."
Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin Urges Legislature to Reject Additional Cuts to Women's Health Care
MADISON- On Friday, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin began the process of closing four health centers as a result of budget cuts directed at Planned Parenthood's patients, starting in the community of Shawano. Despite the cost-effective health benefits and need for continued access to preventive, essential health care, it only took one vote by our state legislature to end health care for Planned Parenthood patients in Shawano and surrounding communities. For more than 34 years, the Planned Parenthood health center in Shawano has provided thousands of patients with cancer screens, wellness exams, birth control, and STD testing and treatment. The Governor's current budget proposal poses an additional risk of future health losses without strong public response. In response, Teri Huyck, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin, issued the following statement:

Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin Announces Health Center Closures
State Budget Cut Forces Planned Parenthood to Close four Health Centers in Shawano, Chippewa Falls, Johnson Creek, and Beaver Dam
MADISON- Today Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin announced the closure of four family planning health centers in Shawano, Chippewa Falls, Johnson Creek and Beaver Dam between April and July of this year. These closures are a direct consequence of the Legislature's elimination of funding benefiting patients at Planned Parenthood in the last budget cycle. Over the past year, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin worked to minimize the impact of the Legislature's significant budget cuts on our patients. Despite efforts to sustain services to these patients for over a year without state funding, Planned Parenthood has been forced to end health care services in these four health centers. These unfortunate health center closures will result in the disruption and a loss of over 11,400 health care services for approximately 2,000 patients including lifesaving cancer screenings, breast exams, birth control, annual exams, pregnancy tests, STD testing and treatment, HIV screening, and referrals to a network of community resources. Planned Parenthood will maintain health care services in 23 health centers across the state.
Is anyone in the governor's office familiar with the word irony?
First it was the plan to give awards to public employees, announced by Gov. Scott Walker with a straight face.
Now it's Walker's declaration of Women's Health Week, which brings this retort from Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin:
"At a time when women throughout Wisconsin are gravely concerned about what will happen to their own health and the health of their families, Governor Walker's proclamation rings hollow...
So Arizona Senator Jon Kyl went and did a stupid thing the other day by claiming on the floor of the Senate that 90% of what Planned Parenthood does is related to abortions, and that, by God, we need to cut that Federal funding for abortions, and we need to cut all Federal funding for Planned Parenthood—and we need to do it today.
Of course, that 90% claim was total hooey; it turns out that only 3% of Planned Parenthood's work relates to abortions. (The Federal funding for abortions part is, too; the Hyde Amendment made such funding illegal decades ago.)
When confronted, Kyl's office released a statement claiming the Senator's comments were "not intended to be a factual statement".
Sir Rev. Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, DFA, decided to have a bit of fun with Kyl, and he challenged his audience to Tweet their own "Not Intended To Be A Factual Statement" about Kyl.
