Today's dispatch from the attic

Santorum Takes Climate Change Denial To A Biblical Level. If I’d had the opportunity to write this headline, it would have looked like this: “Santorum Takes Right-Wing Lunacy and Hyper-Religiosity To A Level That Would Probably Embarrass Jesus Christ.”

**

You know, there are those out there (and no, they’re not all named Rick Santorum) working to brainwash us every day. So how, you might ask, do we keep from being brainwashed. Funny you should ask….

Silent Protest Shames Virginia Lawmakers Attempting “State Rape” Invasive Ultrasound Bill. You probably wouldn’t think that silence could make such a powerful and profound statement, would you?

**

Ever wonder what a “trans-vaginal ultrasound” is? Yeah, me neither. Still, if you’ve been obsessing over it, here’s a good place to start. Then trying thinking about how and why Conservatives think that such a medically unnecessary procedure is an appropriate prerequisite to an abortion.

Park Slope Food Co-Op Falls into Chaos: Should They Have a Position on Israel?. No, some of us would settle for a position on organic arugula.

**

One reason American health care costs more: We’re fat and getting fatter. Well, that would explain Cold Stone Creamery selling a 2000-calorie milk shake, no?

**

Sure, Tim Tebow was sent to this planet in order to save us from ourselves…but you still have to feel for Brady Quinn, Tebow’s backup who was buried in the all-things-Tebow media-lanche.

**

So, does being named “Ashly” make you statistically more likely to be hot? ‘Cuz a lot of horny, dateless guys would really like to know.

**

An unbelievably brilliant Democratic State Senator Tacks ‘Every Sperm is Sacred’ Clause to Oklahoma’s Personhood Bill. Sorry, but that “money shot” will get you 15 to life, you filthy, heartless murderer.

**

So, I know you’re thinking that the GOP campaign is vacuous, silly, and obnoxiously hyper-religious. Things could be worse, though; you could be in Russia, where Mikhail Prokhorov is running for President on a platform that can be summed up in two words: “I’m tall.”
