Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, confronted with testimony by Janet Yellen claiming that serious restrictions on abortion would victimize African-Americans most, pointed out that he was the African-American son of a single mother who was fairly glad he wasn't aborted and ended up in the Senate. He then went on to point out that the "single solution" mentioned by Yellen was a fairly depressing message. What a beautiful "touch" to put Yellen in her place.
(well, not quite in her place, since she still has her job screwing up the country, but rhetorically speaking..)
On the entertainment front, actress Eva Mendes has noted that if she goes back into acting, she'd wait for roles without gratuitous violence of sexuality. Amazing how having children often seems to do that.
On the flip side, Russia has demanded a formal apology from Poland after their ambassador was splashed with red paint while visiting a Soviet cemetery in Poland this Monday. My only thought in response is that if Russia wants their diplomats to be warmly received and protected, maybe.....stop committing war crimes in Ukraine and elsewhere?
Just a thought. And if you're a diplomat working for a country that's committing war crimes, maybe....consider working for someone else? If you're afraid of polonium in your borscht, maybe....walk through the door at the U.S. Embassy and ask for asylum?
There are times when we ought to act on conscience, and this is one of them. And of course, Putin delenda est!
