Bill Bennett, Monster or Visionary? We Report, You Decide.

"You could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down.”

Bennett is on the hot seat for remarks uttered Wednesday during his radio show, "Morning in America," where he was arguing against some of the more extreme justifications for abortion, calling them "ridiculous and morally reprehensible."

Offering an example, Bennett said:

"I do know that it’s true that if you wanted to reduce crime, you could, if that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down.”
By Thursday afternoon, prominent Democrats had seized upon the comment.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, who said last year that the Supreme Court's lone black member was "an embarrassment to the court," is demanding that Bennett "issue an immediate apology not only to African Americans but to the nation.”

Left wing Democrat Ted Kennedy, whose brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy, ordered the illegal wiretapping of Martin Luther King, called Bennett a "racist."

And Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean, who suggested last year that most blacks hold menial jobs, called Bennett's comments "hateful" and "inflammatory" - and called on him to apologize.

Responding to his critics, Bennett told the Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes": "I'll not take instruction from Teddy Kennedy. A young woman likely drowned because of his negligence . . . . He should make no judgments at all about other people. He shouldn't be in the Senate."

Neither Kennedy nor Dean nor Reid has ever condemned Democratic Sen. Robert Byrd, who rose to the rank of Grand Cyclops in the Ku Klux Klan based on his ability to recruit new members.

In an autobiography released earlier this year, Byrd said the Klan was a "fraternal group" made up of "upstanding' people" - a characterization which drew no protest from Reid, Kennedy and Dean.

Sorry, No Randos.

What this does is to prevent automated systems from adding comments to your blog, since it takes a human being to read the word and pass this step. If you've ever received a comment that looked like an advertisement or a random link to an unrelated site, then you've encountered comment spam. A lot of this is done automatically by software which can't pass the word verification, so enabling this option is a good way to prevent many such unwanted comments.

Have Sequels and Remakes Gone to Far?

"This lively send-up of the legendary Honey I Shrunk dynasty is actually based on the Universal Studios' theme park attraction which was based on the movie series. In this sequel, a team of brand management consultants for Universal’s theme parks devise a ray that will reduce the entertainment needs of people who enter the theme park to levels commonly found in sea cucumbers. Naturally, when they accidentally turn the ray on Washington, it’s up to Rick Moranis and Ashlee Simpson to save the world from itself."

"If we throw Keira Knightly in there with a bare midriff, the core demographic of males 18-45 will trip over their own peckers to see it."

This is part of The Film Crew's (Mike Nelson, Bill Corbet, Kevin Murphy) review of six such sequel "movies" cloning their way to a theater near you. Check out the full story for other quite funny reviews.
