Staunch conservative baby harvester Rep.

People get shot all the time with 
This is kind of the saddest thing we’ve ever posted.

You don’t have to be a laboratory scientist or explosives expert to know the “Gatorade/iPod Bomb Plot” was total bullshit from Day One; you just need to be able to read and comprehend the simple explanations provided by said 
OK, enough goddamn e-mails about Katherine Harris already. We know that she asked for pink sugar with her order at Starbucks. And we know about 
The Seattle Times reports that Concerned Women for America (a moniker which brings to mind a roomful of worry wrinkles) has found a new battleground in the war against the homosexual agenda, and it is the back of a coffee cup. They’re mad at Starbucks because of an Armistead Maupin quote, saying that the company should “stay out of these issues so that they don’t offend conservatives and people of faith.” Guess the White House won’t need any help with the Roberts nomination after all. Don’t these people have some abortions to stop or something? Talk about fighting like a girl.
