I’ve got to go to a lifeboat drill in a few so I can’t do Katha Pollit’s there-are-pro-lifers-in-Congress-the-sky-is-falling column justice. So let me just share the closing: “only one of the new Republican senators thinks man-made global warming is real. So by the time they’ve taken control of your womb, you’ll probably be dead.”

I always knew James Inhofe had it in for me. (Sarcasm.)

I’m going to stop reading The Nation and have drink with an umbrella in it … for now, anyway (Jack said the lifeboat drill was mandatory, but not dry).
