all right, now what the hell did you just say?

on hannity and colmes, bill bennett just said that mass abortion in various communities (namely those filled with black and hispanic people) being a means of lowering the crime rate is the subject of freakonomics, which it 100% is not. freakonomics, as other people have pointed out, suggested that legalized abortion has lowered crime rates because those aborted children would likely have been born into homes that would not have offered them enough affection and guidance to keep them on the straight-and-narrow. while the book does point out that the children probably would have been born to poor, unwed teenagers, it doesn't refer to any specific race. if bennett chose to infer that sort of racist slant, then that's what he chose, but it wasn't stated by the authors of the book he has repeatedly cited, and he really needs to knock that the fuck off.

wow, i've never watched this much of this show before. it's deranged, even being notably hannity-free this evening. the reverend jesse lee peterson just said that democrats are on a mission to destroy the unborn, and they're about to run a piece about another person who believes katrina was god giving the gulf coast what it deserved. this person happens to be a united states senator. rock on, alabama.

so, i'm going to crawl between my mattress and boxspring and weep softly for a few hours. i hope all you lovelies have a delightful friday night.
