It's long been a staple of both science fiction stories and pro-life nightmares: the notion that, sometime in the future, couples would "design" their babies, screening out certain genes displeasing to them. Generally, it's been portrayed as something ghoulish, inhuman, and selfish.

In another 5-4 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court today declared that the handgun ban in our nation's capital runs afoul of the Constitution.

In a devastating blow to those who have for years argued that the Second Amendment applies only to militia groups and not to individuals, Justice Scalia, writing for the majority in District of Columbia, et. al., v.

It Just Gets Weirder and Weirder This Election Cycle

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 16:08:50 -0500

The Times of India is reporting the bizarre information that a group of Indians plans to present Barack Obama with an idol. Now, that's not so strange on it's face. After all, politicians get gifts like that all the time.

But it's the reason they selected the gift that rather puzzles some of us. According to those making the gift, it is based on his preference:

Montana, Colorado Stir the 2008 Pot Yet Again: Life Itself Could Be On the Ballot

If you thought the politics of November 2008 were fun before, you'll love the state constitutional amendments that could be coming to the ballot in Montana and Colorado this year.

In India, a woman gave birth in the midst of a pregnancy crisis. Her child was born "limp." But not, as it turned out, dead. A day later, as the parents carried her body to be buried, she woke up and gurgled.
