So the feed didn't kick in until around a quarter of the way through the match for me, but based upon what I saw when it did start working, I'm pretty sure I didn't miss much. Tactical abortion? That might be one way to describe it. If I hadn't seen...

....you know what, this Landon interview has turned into a god-damned kidneystone. Even Fake Sigi is calling me out over it. Fine. Welcome to Planned Parenthood - hope you enjoy this abortion:

Mario Ferri streaked the Netherlands Italy friendly back in November to tell Marcello Lippi, like every fan in the peninsula, Antonio Cassano needed to be on the team. As you may've heard, Lippi gifted Cassano the chance to make his nuptials instead of taking part in the 23 (21.

I do very few NSR posts on this site, but reproductive health is something that's important to me, so I'm going to take a moment to address the topic since it's "Blog for Choice" day.
In general, I feel that women are not granted adequate control over their own reproductive health.

Following the news that John Terry is a back stabbing snake, shagging his mate's bird and the mother of his child, and apparently getting her pregnant and organising an abortion, it's only right that we poke a bit of fun at him.

The Burnley fans yesterday were heard singing "Same old Terry, always cheating.

I won't bore you with the details behind a story which made the headlines around the world over the weekend.

Thanks, Gary, for sending along Paul Krugman's excellent piece (see below) re. the defeat of the GOP's and Teabaggers' fear tactics ... FINALLY! And also an enjoyable read is David Frum on Waterloo! And my third favorite tidbit? The University of Ottawa telling Ann Coulter to watch her mouth .
