Hawking for Continued Abortions this Holiday Season
I must wonder what life must be like to be the PR spin artist for an organization that would go out of business were it not for abortions.
So okay, Planned Parenthood could probably still give out free condoms not to mention instructing on how to wear same using a cucumber as replacement for the real thing.
Get a load of this wording on this year’s Planned Parenthood corporate Christmas card. “Choice on Earth”. How clever is this wording that is brave enough to grace a card with season’s greetings for a newborn Babe that effectively urges the murder of future unborn babies?
"'Tis the season to share with family, friends, colleagues and loved ones the message of 'choice on earth.' Place your orders now for the 2004 Holiday Card," Planned Parenthood says on its online store web site.

Speaking of Liberal Organizations
Myself belongs, yes I admit it, to the National Wildlife Federation. I am a Certified Backyard Habitat Steward. Which are fancy words to describe my training in the art of attracting desirable wildlife into our own eco-system to live and breed within our own human territories.
The notion being, and I thought it a good one, that it’s time to stop complaining about human encroachment on wildlife habitat and do whatever it takes to have them live right along with us.
The NWF, alas, has grown to become yet another liberal lunatic environmental group, taking a hardened (and unreasonable) stance on all issues ecological. Said change in tenor serving, you understand, to preserve the bureaucracy and the jobs of the bureaucrats and having nothing to do with its original, reasonable goal.
Because of my membership in the NWF, I am privy to what this organization is up to. Below is a fine example that crossed my Ebox recently.
Read the text carefully. See if you agree that the NWF is now complaining that by the very act of offering Flood insurance, FEMA is encouraging human habitat in Puget Sound. FEMA is NOT, as I see it, participating in an any activity that would destroy salmon. FEMA’s crime is aiding the settlement of HUMAN BEINGS near the salmon. Horrors, this notion that humans also have a right to the land on this planet.
Oh, and check out this bit about the lawsuit being co-sponsored by the “Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility”. What’s this, our government employees getting involved in federal lawsuits?
A federal judge today found the Federal Emergency Management Agency("FEMA") in violation of the Endangered Species Act because it has ignored the impacts of its activities on threatened chinook salmon in Puget Sound. The judge agreed that FEMA's flood insurance program helps fuel development and floodplain damage in some of the most sensitive and important salmon habitat in the region. The ruling came in response to a lawsuit brought by National Wildlife Federation and
Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility.

The Village Voice Goes After Al Sharpton
Folks the interesting thing about this story is the original source. Which is the ultra-liberal Village Voice. Imagine this, the liberals going after the liberals. Gotta love it.
It seems that Al Shapton has a couple of ladies on the side. Besides his wife, of course.
Now in this era of political operatives and errant zippers, not to mention Bernie Kerik, this sort of thing isn’t normally any sort of scoop.
Except that Sharpton’s beloved is supported by the monies from his campaign. And also, don’t you know, the Kerry campaign!
Sharpton denied any reimbursement from the Kerry campaign beyond expenses but look at this, the Washington Post did some snooping and discovered that Sharpton billed the Kerry campaign billed $15,000 in “consulting” fees. In addition to over $35,000 in expense reimbursement.
This stream of consciousness was designed to promote Harris's behind-the-scenes candidacy for DNC vice chair, but it also suggested that even on Sunday morning's top talk show, Sharpton had a hard time discussing his doomed marriage without mentioning Marjorie Harris. Claiming retroactively that his marriage "ended" two years ago, of course, muddies the waters about what he's been doing since, and five Voice visits to Kathy Sharpton's dark Flatbush home provoked no supporting or contrary information. A visit to Harris's herringbone floored apartment complex at the Heritage at Trump Place—"towering over the Hudson River" with its own health spa, pool, gym, salon, interior garden, and theater—earned us the Rubenstein warning letter that a harassment complaint would be filed against us, but she refused to get on the concierge phone.
This is a blistering expose on the Reverund Jackson.
And the Washington Post report Here.
Finally, below a picture of ole Al’s proposed Presidential cabinet sent to me by my very own husband. In view of Sharpton’s recent newsworthiness, the pic is worth a healthy giggle.

Target targets the Salvation Army
Bah, humbug.
Of course there are a myriad of generous organizations that raise money to benefit the downtrodden during this season of giving. But the Salvation Army is almost a fixture with their red kettles and bell-ringing fund-raisers.
But Target no longer wants these folks in front of their stores.
Below, Lyn Nofziger’s take on the issue.
TARGETING TARGET
“A couple of years ago Target opened one of their big box stores in our neighborhood and since it opened I’ve done a lot of my shopping there. But no more. Target has told the Salvation Army it can no longer set up its Christmas kettles at its store entrances. And that’s good enough for me. I’ll go do my shopping elsewhere.”
- Lyn Nofziger’s “Musings,” 12/3/04
But Target has a response, naturally, to the criticism. It’s a lot of words and they sound nice. Don’t kid yourself. The Salvation Army is religious and hey, we can’t have that.
FROM THE HORSE’S MOUTH
“We receive an increasing number of solicitation inquiries from nonprofit organizations and groups each year and determined that if we continue to allow the Salvation Army to solicit, then it opens the door to any other groups that wish to solicit our guests. While some of our guests may welcome the opportunity to support their favorite charity or cause, allowing these organizations to solicit means that Target would also have to permit solicitation by organizations whose causes or behavior may be unacceptable to our guests.”

Only One This Week But I Knew It As Soon As I Saw It
From the NY Post 12/6/04:
WHICH daughter of a New York tycoon recently had some plastic surgery? Although she was always beautiful, and is very young, she decided she wanted a more prominent chin — and daddy gave her one.
Well since The Donald himself doesn’t have a chin, the fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree. Best guess: Ivanka Trump
