In Which Mitt Romney Wins the War on Women, Somehow.
#17 is spot on. You ever have to choose between buying shoes because yours were falling apart or taking your kid to the dr..because the co-pay was high enough to make that the deal? I have!!!!! Ann Romney NEVER has. Ann Romney is a uber privielged lady and is in NO WAY a role modle for normal women.

Archbishop Turns Every Seattle Mass Into an Anti-Gay Political Rally.
I'm confused. I am a recovering Catholic ... I thought if an organization actively participated in the political process it could not have tax exempt status... This action on the part of the catholic church shoould remove them from that status and let them start paying thei share for the price of democracy..... Shouldn't it?

Mao and Mars Hill.
I think this more about the lack of access to porn by XXX and Pastor X. I'm surprised they didn't want pictures too.

What's in a Lede?.
Jounralism 101 How to write a lede:
•give readers the main points of the story
•get readers interested in reading the story
•accomplish both “a” and “b” in as few words as possible
I think the Seattle Times Lede is much more interesting! "Cost" grabs your Attention "Spent" puts you to sleep!

Gay Kids Are Coming Out Younger and Younger.
our daughter came out to us at dinner when she was 14. We told her we were proud to be her parents and then finished dinner. She said she had known "for years". She is healthy happy and in college doing well.... we ARE proud to be her parents.
