Good morning Washington and welcome back to work. Here to help ease the transition from your debauched three-day weekend excitement is Target’s own Franklin Delano Roosevelt action figure:

Kids — can you spot the 200 things terribly, terribly wrong with this picture? And concept? MORE »

• Santorum: “Science leads you where it leads you.” Also the heart wants what it wants. Sometimes that’s a dog. No, seriously: Rick comes out against “intelligent design” (magic). [Beaver County Times (no shit), via Pandagon]
• Oh, God: Please don’t make me give up Target. So they are all “Fuck you bitch about your little unprotected pregnancy sex accident” — they have really great housewares. Fuck. Fry’s man, tho? I will never. Shop. There. Again. [Savage Love (last item)]
• Bush tonight: “Reasonable people can disagree about the conduct of the war –­ but it is irresponsible for Democrats to now claim that we misled them and the American people.” Translation: You can disagree except when you do. [Michelle Malkin]
• Kazakhstan totally pissed about Ali G. [Reuters]
• “If you’re going to be the lead columnist for the business section of a major American newspaper, a certain amount of Bentonville ball-lickery is part of the package.” [TMFTML]

Planned Parenthood and other reproductive-rights advocates have been drawing attention to an incident at Target store in Missouri where a pharmacist allegedly refused to fill a prescription for emergency contraception. We’re reluctant to pile on here, mostly because we really don’t want to give up this adorable Mossimo skirt we got last month. Or the shoes from last week. Or the drapes from yesterday. Also, Target disputes the details of the story. However, no one disputes that Target does allow pharmacists to deny emergency contraception to customers. This is supposedly a bow to pro-lifers, but Dahlia Lithwick pointed out the policy’s tragic unintended consequence last April: If you don’t give a woman emergency contraception, she becomes pregnant — and can get an abortion. As Lithwick said: It “would be ironic, were it not so sad.” MORE »
