A few stories worth noting this morning: A woman and her boyfriend in Rhode Island are given probation for encouraging her 9 year old daughter to watch them have sex. The explanation: David Prata, 33, said he and Rebecca Arnold, 36, had sex “all the time” in front of the child and that “we don’t believe in hiding anything” and also “We wanted her to know how to do it.” [...]

Odds and ends are all I have time for this morning, but there are some good things: I wrote about these new coins here. Now it looks like a unknown number of them will become atheist collectibles. Everyone needs a hobby. [HT: Pearcey Report] Captain America has been killed by a sniper! He had been speaking out for the habeus corpus rights of terrorists, or something. And related to that [...]

Two other men were hidden in the truck’s sleeper compartment. NY Times finally issues a correction for their bogus abortion story. Of course they are still suggesting that maybe they weren’t actually wrong. Whatever… A [...]

A couple of my friends are home sick on this fine New Year’s Day. In the chance that Scott and I don’t post a lot of new material today (it is a holiday…) I’m going to throw out some quick links to interesting stories that others are writing about.

Some surprising, some not: Studio 60 is about to be cancelled. Aaron Sorking, the most overvalued writer in Hollywood, is about to see his expensive new show get flushed. Here’s a hint Aaron, the Christian bashing didn’t help. Elephants are smart. (Vote accordingly) Danes taking a hard line on late term abortion. Abortion is more controlled in much of Europe then it is here where the “health of the mother” [...]

Here’s a sample: [I]n the [...]
