Or learning to read the story before opening mouth and inserting foot.

Mother Donates Eggs to Infertile 7-Year-Old Daughter (FOXNEWS)

Melanie Boivin, 35, from Montreal, has placed 21 of her eggs on ice for Flavie Boivin to use when she grows up.

Flavie has Turner syndrome, a condition in which one of the two X chromosomes normally carried by women is missing. It almost always causes infertility, though women who have the condition can conceive with donated eggs.

By freezing her eggs while she is still in her mid-30s and fertile, Ms Boivin hopes to give Flavie a good chance of having children.

This could come from Hillary Clinton

Chavez Tells Private Hospitals to Lower Costs or Face Nationalization (SHORTNEWS)

Venezuela President Hugo Chavez announced on Tuesday that if private medical clinics and hospitals in Venezuela fail to reduce health care costs than they will be nationalized.

“If the owners of the private clinics don’t want to obey the laws, then the private clinics will be nationalized,” Chavez announced. Under Chavez, thousands of doctors have been sent to poor areas where they provide free health care.

And this time they are going to link it to the Hate Crimes Bill

Plan to Restore Fairness Doctrine Still on Track, Analyst Says (cnsnews)

Liberal efforts to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine are “completely on track,” and Democrats intend to push for the measure by linking talk radio to “hate crimes,” according to a conservative media analyst. (Cliff Kincaid, editor of the conservative group Accuracy in Media)

Kincaid asserted that the Democrats were in the meantime paving the way for the return of the Fairness Doctrine by requesting a federal study of how licensed broadcasting facilities have been used to “convey messages of bigotry or hatred, creating a climate of fear and inciting individuals to commit hate crimes.”

Rather than argue that conservative talk shows are one-sided, he said, Democrats in Congress will assert “that talk radio is hateful and causing injury and death to people.”

Kincaid pointed to 1995, when President Clinton, he said, “tried to blame the Oklahoma City bombing on conservative talk radio.” The analyst also cited the case of talk show host Don Imus, who was fired for denigrating a women’s basketball team on the air.

The First Amendment has been twisted by the courts until, today, it protects porn and nude dancing but not political speech.

McCain-Feingold is evidence of that.

Soon, we may face a ban on reading publically from some sections of the Bible because those sections are defined by some hearers as offensive and hateful. So much for the exercise of religion and freedom of assembly.

Perhaps, the Supremes stepped back from such a perverted reasoning in their recent 5-4 decision.

If there is a “litmus test” in the 2008 elections, it has to be the candidate’s stance on political speech … and talk radio is part of that.

A second litmus test would be fighting radical Islamists here and worldwide.

Would college campuses be exempt from the “Fairness Doctrine”? Would they have to hire a conservative speaker to counter any Ward Churchill speech? Tons of public monies go to, and they are chartered and such by gov’t entities. So shouldn’t every liberal indoctrination received by a student be countered by an opposing view? Would a liberal professor have to have a conservative viewpoint expressed?

I can see pirate internet radio springing up! Or Dan Patrick and Michael Savage broadcasting from boats in the Gulf of Mexico. It’s only fair when liberals agree with it.

We are so much better informed since talk radio became available. An informed voter is a scary thing to the left.

Ofcourse they will link it to the “hate crimes” act. Conservative talk radio IS a hate crime in their opinion.
“that talk radio is hateful and causing injury and death to people.”

I wonder if they have some phone statistics on that as well.
Let’s see . . .Radio waves that lead to death & violence? I think the “Rap-a-ho” gang banger has caused more violence than Rush Limbaugh :)))
Or maybe they will talk about the violence of THERI uncontrollable demobrats as they attack minute men, ann coulter and the such.
