Follow this link to the letter that Joseph Girard wrote to the editor of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette. They headlined the letter with the title, “Pro-life is about human rights”

Follow this link to the letter to the editor that I wrote in response or read below.

I applaud a letter writer from Worcester who takes a principled stand without exception for the human rights of the fetus (Telegram & Gazette, June 22). I presume that he would also stand by the principle, without exception, for the human rights of women.

What I would like the antiabortionists to explain is how they remain true to both principles, without exception, when there is a conflict between the two. Clearly an exception has to be made on one or both principles.

Only when antiabortionists recognize this conflict can there be any point in having a discussion.

In response to this story, I posted the following comment:

Reminds me of my cat when she wants attention in the morning.

1. Meow loudly and repeatedly

2. Jump up on the bed.

3. Walk on my face.

4. Jump up on the bureau.

5. Start knocking glass objects onto the floor.

When this cat wants attention, she will keep escalating until she gets it. It’s merely a question of how much I want broken before I give her the attention that she wants.

Can we give this guy a little attention before we have to blast him off the Korean peninsula along with all his innocent subjects?

My comment generated quite a few reposnses.  One of the most intriguing comments was:

Could be worse. Have you seen “Simon’s Cat”?

I couldn’t help going to Google to try to find out what this comment meant.

I found Simon’s Cat on YouTube.  Here is the video, titled “Let me in”,  that is most relevant to my post.  Oh, wait, this one’s better – Simon’s Cat ‘TV Dinner’.  Hold on, maybe this is the one – Simon’s Cat ‘Cat Man Do’.

There is a little commercial at the end, but I thought this was funny enough that I posted it anyway.

The Hampton Virginia Daily Press is reporting that:

Asked if he had spoken to the president, Wright said: “Them Jews aren’t going to let him talk to me. I told my baby daughter, that he’ll talk to me in five years when he’s a lame duck, or in eight years when he’s out of office. …

Given Rev. Wright’s level of education and oratorical skills, I find it hard to believe that he would be so ungrammatical and yet serious at the same time.

You cannot find a full report of all of his remarks in context anywhere on the web.  The article does not say to whom he was talking nor when he said it.

At almost the same time the Des Moines Register has an article Obama’s former pastor accents inclusiveness about a recent appearance of Rev. Wright. The following is an excerpt from the article:

His message was a surprising one for many in the crowd.

Terry Wehrman of Cedar Rapids said he had heard Wright only through short sound clips. He said he was struck by Wright’s intelligence and message of inclusiveness.

“I came away extremely impressed,” Wehrman said.

Jill Flyr of Des Moines said she liked Wright’s recognition of Saturday’s honorees.

If the press were reporting accurately on Rev. Wright, why are people who hear him in person so surprised at what he has to say?
