Arizona tea party: Proposed Arizona vanity plate would help 'tea party' causes - Los Angeles Times

The tea party plate would feature the "Don't Tread On Me" slogan, rattlesnake emblem and yellow background of the historic Gadsden flag, which the movement has adopted.

Opponents say the tag inappropriately promotes a specific political movement. 

(AZ does have other vanity license plates for groups and other states may have them - here is a Virginia one.)

Romney Talks of "Hanging" Obama

Then says he has to be careful about his words .. well yeah !

Romney says he’ll “hang” Obama at GOP group dinner | The Raw Story

In a speech at the pro-GOP Americans for Prosperity dinner, former Massachusetts governor and contender for the GOP presidential nomination Mitt Romney said he would "hang" Obama, then immediately realized his gaffe and tried to smooth over his mistake. His spokeswoman said the blunder was not meant to be malicious.

Referring to Ronald Reagan's "misery index" that he wanted to "hang around Jimmy Carter's neck" in the 1980 presidential election, Romney said of Obama, "Well, we’re going to have to hang the ‘Obama Misery Index’ around his neck.”

Romney continued, “We’re going to hang him — ” before pausing, Politico reported, then continuing and clarifying. “So to speak — metaphorically. You have to be careful.”

The implications of mentioning "hanging" in reference to an African-American are not positive.

Romney's spokeswoman, Andrea Saul, told Politico that the comment was not intended to be malicious.  “It is not what the governor meant and that was very clear in what he actually said,” she said. "It’s a ridiculous exaggeration of his actual comments.”

NYC Library Attendance May Boom if Porn Surfing Protected

Porn - New York Public Library | Mediaite

Consumers can look at whatever they want, including porn - it's free speech law.  There are extensions which are attached to the computer screen and block part of it to all but the viewer, but some people complain that they can hear voices (ooh ah.)  

Apparently, the situation is similar in Australia.

At the library ... just surfing the net for, er, porn - National - theage.com.au

Last Typewriter Factory Closes its Doors

Godrej and Boyce: World's last typewriter factory closes its doors in Mumbai | Mail Online

There are only 200 typewriters left and only a couple are in English - the rest are in Arabic.

I remember taking typing and advanced typing in high school.  I won a state contest by typing 200 wpm!  Shell Oil hired me because I could type so fast (billing clerk.)  In college, I participated in a rent-to-own progam and typed all my papers by hand.  I used to be a secretary for a Civil Engineer who made me type form letters by hand and correct all errors with white-out fluid.  Eventually, I was able to use an IBM selectric, and then finally "Word" on a cumbersome PC (dissertation.)

Santorum: Gays Already Have Enough Rights

Newsvine - Rick Santorum: Gays already have enough rights

Likely Republican presidential candidate and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum told Fox News' Chris Wallace Sunday that LGBT people don't deserve equal rights.

"You opposed gay marriage," Wallace noted.

"I did," Santorum agreed.

"You oppose civil unions, you want to reinstate 'don't ask, don't tell.' Do you think gays have any rights, should have any access to benefits as partners?" Wallace asked.

"Well, sure. I mean there are all sorts of contractual benefits that anybody can contract for. But the question is whether we should institutionalize that in public policy? My feeling is that people can live their lives however they want to live it," Santorum explained.

Santorum Thinks Planned Parenthood Practices Eugenics

Eugenics is the "applied science or the biosocial movement which advocates the use of practices aimed at improving the genetic composition of a population," usually referring to human populations.

Rick Santorum: I'm Pretty Sure Planned Parenthood Practices Eugenics | TPMDC

"Well, look at -- and I know they dispute this -- certainly a lot of evidence that the location of their clinics happen to be in places, historically places, where there are high concentrations of minorities for example," Santorum explained to a gaggle of reporters after a foreign policy speech he made in Washington today. "

Aren't the clinics in those areas because they tend to be poorer parts of town and people need health care?

"This is an organization that was founded on the eugenics movement, founded on racism -- I mean, it's horrific. It's origins are horrific. And you can say, 'well it's not that anymore.' It's not far from where it was in my opinion."

GOP leaders also do not ever reveal that only a tiny sliver of Planned Parenthood funding ever goes for abortions - never more than 3%  - I think it's their budget cuts that are more in line with Eugenics!
