Massachusetts Abortion Clinics Boost Security After Supreme Court Ruling On Buffer Zones
Massachusetts is beefing up security around abortion clinics and scrambling for a legal fix after the U.S. Supreme Court voided the state's buffer zone law that kept protesters 35 feet away, saying it violated freedom of speech.
Boston, Worcester and Springfield, the state's largest cities, have deployed extra police to clinics, and abortion-provider Planned Parenthood said it was training new "patient escorts" to help women through protests if needed.
REMINDER: Unlike screaming at women trying to get into clinics, Obamacare actually prevents abortions.- LOLGOP

Rand Paul Versus Dick Cheney
On the Sunday morning television shows this past weekend—against the backdrop of an Iraq in flames—former Vice President Dick Cheney and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) continued their ongoing feud and the battle for the (national security) soul of the Republican Party. In recent months, as Mother Jones has reported that Paul in 2009 accused Cheney of using 9/11 as an excuse to launch the Iraq invasion to benefit Halliburton (the corporation Cheney once led) and called on the GOP to disassociate itself with the former vice president, Cheney's allies have slammed the senator for expressing reckless positions.

WTF?

Bernie Madoff Effect?
The stock market is fragmented into over 50 individual marketplaces owned and operated by the giants of finance, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, Barclays, Morgan Stanley and other large securities firms who do not allow customers not to their liking to trade there. These “dark pools” are “dark” because they are not transparent to the public, to ordinary traders or to the media.
The U.S. lost to Germany today, but because FIFA rules dictate that teams get one point for a tie, three points for a win, and zero points for a loss, and both the U.S. and Portugal had a score of four, and because the U.S. had a higher goal differential, the U.S. still advances. That's the rules — and that in a nutshell is why Americans don't follow soccer.- Conan O'Brien
