1. Ding.

2. Such an awful story, Patterico. It’s amazing to me that this isn’t news every evening.

   But it sort of reminds me of Churchill while he was in the Admiralty. At one point, some bloviator in Parliament carried on about the “grand traditions of the Royal Navy.”

   To which Churchill replied that those traditions consisted of “rum, sodomy, and the lash.”

   Turns out Churchill never said it, but he wished he had.

   It’s also the title of the second album by the Pogues, but there you go.

   So apparently this kind of Swiftian horror is part of the Grand Tradition of the Democratic Party?

   It seems so.

   Brit Hume at least gets John 3: 20.

3. I recall listening to some smug liberal from Seattle on the Medved show who had written a book about how the founder of this nation weren’t enlightened and compassionate by 21st century progressive standards. Therefore the entire state of Washington needed to be renamed. Clearly George Washington is unworthy of such an honor.

   I recall thinking, “Just how do you think history is going to judge you, @$$hat?.”

   This video is perfect in that regard. We are ignoring and making excuses for modern slavers, torturers, and murderers (but, but, the Crusades!), helping terrorists get nuclear weapons, and slaughtering infants on an industrial scale, while we dig up confederate graves because those people were evil.

5. Steve, it is due to a weird narcissism that isn’t internally consistent. For example, I love to ask open border people about Mexico’s policies toward illegal immigration. They sputter (if they know anything about it at all). Then I ask them if our policies are superior to Mexico’s.

   It’s like “Scanners.”

6. Medved didn’t inform the @$$hat that the State of Washington was named after Booker T. Washington?

   I wonder if Hume’s reaction to this story will cause more States to look into PP. So far it seems only Missouri and Texas are willing to put any resources into the story.

7. I wonder if the racial makeup of the PP clientele is being monitored by Olola’s sweeping data gathering program. I’m pretty sure that Black American’s account for a disproportionate number of abortions. If so, one might conclude that the non-black community will be required by some disparate impact case to surrender a significantly larger portion of their infants to the organ harvesting program.

   And isn’t it interesting that there’s been no mention of any Federal monitoring of the organ transactions. We have EPA and Army Corps of Engineers agents crawling all over the western United States looking for puddles or signs of episodic water flow in order to seize the property and force the owner to “restore” it to a condition dictated by the goons. And the IRS can devote an unlimited amount of manhours to harassing tea party groups who seek a nonprofit tax status. But the FDA seems strangely absent from the arena. Surely they must have some regualations that apply to organ harvesting?

8. Surely they must have some regualations that apply to organ harvesting?

   They do bobathome, but those regulations only apply to the harvesting of human organs. As you well know the unborn are not considered human by leftists so they are exempt.

9. Heavens! You mean the FDA is allowing non-human organs to be transplanted into human patients? This is astonishing.

10. Apologies to Eddie Cochran –

    Sometimes I wonder what I’m a gonna do
    But there ain’t no cure for the baby parts blues.
    Ain’t gonna make 20 weeks, scheduled for an early termination

    I’m gonna take my problem to the United Nations
    Well I called my congressman and he said quote:
    “I’d like to help you son but you’re too young to vote”
    Sometimes I wonder what I’m a gonna do
    But there ain’t no cure for the baby part blues.
