In other words, breast-feeding prevents pregnancy despite ovulation.

Technically, the current HHS draft proposal would guarantee the right to
withhold breast-feeding products or assistance, since it defines abortion
as encompassing "any other action … that results in the termination of
the life of a human being" prior to implantation.
An Outrageous Attempt by the Bush Administration to Undermine Women's Rights
from RH Reality Check
The Bush Administration is up to its old tricks again, quietly putting ideology before
science and women's health. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is poised
to put in place new barriers to accessing common forms of contraception like birth control
pills, emergency contraception and IUDs by labeling them "abortion."
Change We Can Believe In by Digby
the change voters want is actually an
end to the back scratching and glad handing that characterizes the bipartisan symbiosis
between the political and corporate world and the incumbent protection racket that makes
it possible. Nothing illustrates that corruption better than this FISA fight.

the idea that it's a good principle to indemnify corporations from law breaking when
its done at the behest of the government is getting close to the definition of fascism
--- the joining of corporate and government power, beyond the scope of law, in the
name of national security. We should not go there.

The decay of serious journalism and Rachel Maddow's new show by Glenn Greenwald at Salon
As our political culture, economic security, standing in the world and our
media institutions have all degraded beyond recognition after eight years
of right-wing rule (much of it cheered on by The New Republic), what is
The New Republic's Sacha Zimmerman deeply worried about?

The reaction to Maddow's show highlights just how suffocatingly narrow,
and right-wing, the spectrum of mainstream political discourse in America is.
The Lesson of Bigfoot
No one checked into the background of Dyer. Nope, they just trooped right
in, acted like everything was on the up-and-up, and became complicit in the fraud.
Then they got all high-and-mighty. Ignoring their complicity. Ignoring their
cupidity. Ignoring their own venality.

By blacklisting reporters it does not like, planting stories with friendlies at

Is McCain another George W. Bush? by Jack Cafferty at CNN
George Bush's record as a student, military man, businessman and leader of
the free world is one of constant failure. And the part that troubles me
most is he seems content with himself.
[...]
He will leave office with the country $10 trillion in debt, fighting two
wars, our international reputation in shambles, our government cloaked in
secrecy and suspicion that his entire presidency has been a litany of broken
laws and promises, our citizens' faith in our own country ripped to shreds.
Yet Bush goes bumbling along, grinning and spewing moronic one-liners, as
though nobody understands what a colossal failure he has been.
I fear to the depth of my being that John McCain is just like him.
"Seven" discusses just how out of touch John McCain is with the struggles of everyday people:
