Astley!!!From the looks of the reading highlights this weekend, it's a damn good thing health-care got through the House last night. No, not because some close-minded God freaks were able to shoe-horn even more state controls over what a woman does with the unformed fetus inside her.

The one thing that really stuck with me after being on the daily crime-and-fire beat: Cops are not lazy.I'm questioning that now.
