What We Missed.

NYTimes article on the new demand for women wanting jobs as “hostesses” in Japan due to the failing economy. (Unrelated: Say “hostesses” 3 times in a row.)
A must-read piece by Jaclyn Friedman on the Roethlisberger case. I wrote about it here.
Pam Merritt on the Surgeon General’s weight at RH Reality check.
Not so shocking headline of the day, “Teen pregnancy and disease rates rose sharply during Bush years, agency finds.”
Finally read this piece by Amanda on how the mainstream media is reinforcing false information on the public funding on abortion. Best quote from her piece,

Here’s the unvarnished truth: There is no way that any kind of public health care plan will have elective abortion coverage. Nor is there any real chance of abortion becoming mandated coverage. It’s more likely that breast implants will be paid for by tax money. It’s more likely that a public insurance option will provide everyone with an iPod Touch.

Bonus What We Missed:
Hate Mail of the Day directed right at me,

Me thinks that this erstwhile young lady that swears so much needs her mouth washed out with soap!!

We all know washing your mouth out with soap is a bad idea.
