There is a new gonorrhea strain that is not responsive to treatment. HIV, HPV, Hepatitis and Herpes are ‘for keeps’ the gift that keeps on giving.

Males having sex with males (MSM) are past epidemic stage for HIV (44 times increased incidence) and have entered the syndemic stage, where diseases interact to create more severe symptoms and complicate treatment. MSM have 46 times increased incidence of all other STDs.

A University of Illinois at Chicago staffer has been placed on administrative leave after she brought a legally purchased handgun to work because she didn’t want to leave it at home while her house was being renovated, a UIC spokesman said.

A judge set bail at $25,000 Wednesday for Kathleen Loviscek, 55, according to the Cook County sheriff’s office. She is expected in court again on Feb. 19… Loviscek, of Westmont, was charged with unlawful use of a weapon, a felony, said UIC spokesman Bill Burton.

“There was no apparent intent or threat,’’ Burton said. “It was never brandished nor was it loaded.’’

1. Yesterday our host posted a piece titled Victims who have names.

Here’s a name: Savita Halappanava, who died in Ireland after allegedly being refused an abortion to terminate an evolving miscarriage.

2. Extreme cases like Morbelli’s and Halappanava’s should not be ignored, but usually they should not drive a policy debate.

3. Here is a too-rare account of a civil, mutually respectful discussion of abortion by people with opposing views.

4. Why are such discussions so rare? Why is the abortion debate, among others, dominated by take-no-prisoners extremists on each side? It’s as though the pro- and anti-abortion absolutists cooperate in keeping any middle ground a no man’s wasteland.

5. Cui bono?

Instead of spending vast sums, and crushing freedoms, in the name of a witch-doctor religion (Gorebal Climate Thingy), we should be spending some money on avoiding a real global threat.

Oh, and IF the planet is saved from a mass extinction event via meteorite, it will not be through the Dolphin Defense System but by humans.

Glen Reynolds (Instapundit) essay:

Ham Sandwich Nation: Due Process When Everything is a Crime

Abstract:

Though extensive due process protections apply to the investigation of crimes, and to criminal trials, perhaps the most important part of the criminal process — the decision whether to charge a defendant, and with what — is almost entirely discretionary. Given the plethora of criminal laws and regulations in today’s society, this due process gap allows prosecutors to charge almost anyone they take a deep interest in. This Essay discusses the problem in the context of recent prosecutorial controversies involving the cases of Aaron Swartz and David Gregory, and offers some suggested remedies, along with a call for further discussion.

Dorner, “the black Jason Bourne.” Really???

Black Sympathy of Fugitive Dorner Reflects Long History of Distrust

By The Admin on February 12, 2013

Travis Gosa, assistant professor of African studies at Cornell University, comments on the growing sympathy of fugitive ex-LAPD officer Christopher Dorner among African Americans.

Gosa says:

“When African Americans call Dorner the ‘black Jason Bourne’ they are not condoning the killing of innocent people, rather, they are voicing decades of distrust and ill-will toward police and the criminal justice system.

“The Dorner manhunt has activated a deep-seeded cultural distrust of the criminal justice system that seems to resurface during high-profile events, such as the Rodney King beating, the O.J. Simpson case, or more recently, the Treyvon Martin shooting.

Any surprise here?

Thanks to the Freedom of Information Act, Judicial Watch has compelled the powers-that-be to cough up the video of one self-described citizen of the world (Thomas Betances) conducting government-approved, government-sponsored, government funded racial harassment (i.e., “cultural sensitivity training”) at the United States Department of Agriculture. It took the USDA eight months to cough it up, but it was worth waiting for.

NOONAN ET AL V BOWEN

Roll Call just posted that NJ D Senator Frank Lautenberg will not seek reelection in 2014. See: http://atr.rollcall.com/new-jersey-lautenberg-announces-retirement/

Do the R’s have a good candidate to put forward? NJ is pretty “blue,” is it worth the effort? Can we cause the D’s to spend more money in Nov. 14 than they would have otherwise without spending more ourselves for no good end?

How do the Senate races look today for 2014? D’s up for reelection in “red” states:

1. Max Baucus, Montana
2. Mark Begich, Alaska
3. Mark Pryor, Arkansas
4. Kay Hagan, N. Carolina
5. Tim Johnson, SD
6. West Virginia is open – Jay Rockefeller is retiring
7. Mary Landrieu, Louisiana

“Purple” states with D Senators up for reelection in ’14:

8. Iowa has an open seat, since Tom Harkin is retiring – “purple”
9. New Jersey has an open seat, since Frank Lautenberg us retiring – “blue”
10. Jeanne Shaheen, N. Hampshire – “purple”
11. Tom Udall, New Mexico – “purple” or “blue” these days
12. Mark Udall, Colorado – “purple”
13. Carl Levin, Michigan, “blue”
14. Al Franken, Minnesota – “blue” but can vote R on occasion
15. Dick Durbin, Illinois, “blue”
16. Massachusetts has an open seat, since John Kerry is now SecState – “blue”
17. Jeff Merkley, Oregon, “blue”

Hmmm…

Someone in the Pentagon has decided that UAV (drone) “pilots” are deserving of a medal that will rank higher than a Bronze Star with V (Valor).

Actual engagement under fire with a hostile force ranks below sitting in an air conditioned space, possibly stateside, running a joystick and watching a video screen, then going home to the family and watching Simpsons reruns.

WTH is this: Challengers from the Sidelines: Understanding America’s Violent Far-Right from USMA’s Counter-Terrorism Center? This guy has been dissing on conservatives for some time. Commentary at American Free Press:

At West Point where cadets are groomed into officers, a new 148-page report released on January 15 is urging enlisted men and women to be on alert for “terrorists” in the form of those who consider themselves patriots…

Its author, Professor Arie Perliger, the Director of Terrorism Studies…

Perliger warns that growing legions of conservative-minded citizens across the U.S. pose a serious threat to our nation’s safety… so-called extremists fall into the categories of anti-federalists, fundamentalist Christians, survivalists, gun-rights advocates, libertarians, pro-lifers, and those who oppose high taxation…

There’s a big Republican corridor in the “gut” of the country – from Texas to Wisconsin – that is implementing pro-growth fiscal and economic policies. When the country finally starts seeing graphs like this one they will come to understand that it is Republican policies that are bringing job growth and prosperity to their states. It gives me hope the rest of the country will eventually regain its sanity.

Ted Cruz commits truth concerning Chuck Hagel’s Iranian endorsement.

Heat waves, droughts, wildfires, and floods – all are now more frequent and intense. We can choose to believe that Superstorm Sandy, and the most severe drought in decades, and the worst wildfires some states have ever seen were all just a freak coincidence. Or we can choose to believe in the overwhelming judgment of science – and act before it’s too late.

This, naturally, is just a lie. From a guy who both hates and cannot comprehend science.

I live on the Mississippi River. For the first time in my memory the locks on the river were not closed for maintenance this winter. No gates replaced, no lock walls repaired, no machinery serviced, so far as I can determine. The Coast Guard Local Notice to Mariners confirms locks open from 8:00 AM till 4:00 PM daily.

Our locks are operating on the edge even with the usual maintenance. This makes no sense.

“Betrayed is a good word,” former Sgt. Munley told ABC News in a tearful interview to be broadcast tonight on “World News with Diane Sawyer” and “Nightline.”

“Not to the least little bit have the victims been taken care of,” she said. “In fact they’ve been neglected.”

—

Munley, since laid off from her job with the base’s civilian police force, was shot three times as she and her partner, Sgt. Mark Todd, confronted Hasan, who witnesses said had shouted “Allahu Akbar” as he opened fire on soldiers being processed for deployment to Afghanistan.

As Munley lay wounded, Todd fired the five bullets credited with bringing Hasan down.

Despite extensive evidence that Hasan was in communication with al Qaeda leader Anwar al-Awlaki prior to the attack, the military has denied the victims a Purple Heart and is treating the incident as “workplace violence” instead of “combat related” or terrorism.

DON’T LET REPUBLICANS STEAL THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AGAIN

In the 2012 election, more Americans voted for Democratic members of Congress than Republicans. Yet tea party darling Eric Cantor is the Majority Leader and John Boehner serves as Speaker — and they’re blocking President Obama’s pro-jobs legislation and pushing a right-wing ideological agenda. They didn’t earn those positions; they stole them.

Watch for it tonight. Think of it…MORE hubris than before.

VP Joe Biden was at Girard College in Philadelphia, yesterday pushing the administration’s ‘gun control’ agenda. In his comments, Biden was differentiating between what he calls the ‘legitimate media’ (MSM/ pro-admin) and the ‘social media’ (others/ anti-adm).
I assume that this site (and others opposed) is now termed ‘illegitimate’ by the administration.
