Baseball player who beat wife allowed to play


Cause what’s a little domestic violence compared with America’s favorite pastime?
Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Brett Myers, 25, has been charged with assault and battery after he assaulted his wife in front of numerous witnesses.

Knight said the 6-foot-4 -inch, 240-pound ballplayer dwarfed his wife, whom police report at 5 feet 4 inches and 120 pounds.

A recommendation and more shameless self promotion

If you haven’t check out Guernica yet, you really should. It’s a fab online magazine with really interesting and eclectic content. They even got props from Howard Zinn, the bastards: “There is nothing quite like Guernica, where you can find an extraordinary bouquet of stories, poems, social commentary, and art. It is always a pleasure to read.”
Oh yeah, and I’m going to be blogging for them on Wednesdays.

Free EC to protest over-the-counter veto


I love this. Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains will be giving away free emergency contraception this Friday to protest Colorado Governor Bill Owen’s veto of a bill that would have made the pill available over-the-counter.

Vicki Cowart, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains, said, “The Governor has once again turned his back on the women of Colorado…Better access to EC could significantly reduce the number of unintended pregnancies – and thus the number of abortions – in Colorado. It’s unfortunate that the Governor did not support its passage.”
Free EC will be available at all 24 health centers in Colorado. Sweet.

Right to Life Montana endorses Nazi candidate

Within hours after being questioned about the endorsement, the pro-life group deleted Stuart’s name from its on-line list of candidates whose views align with theirs.

Real slick. The excuse the organization gave? “He slipped through the cracks.� Huh.
Now I can see endorsing a candidate who somehow did something fucked in the past that’s all buried and comes to light. But a two second Google search on this guy pulls ...
