Cameraman: "If abortions should be illegal, then what should the penalty be?"
Abortion Activists: "…I don't know. I never thought of it."
Cameraman: "Can you think of any other crime for which there isn't a punishment?"
Watch the video. It's fascinating. There's a an interesting and well-written post on DailyKos about it too.
I turned off commenting. I don't want things to get ugly here. Do it on YouTube.

Bill O'Riley, America's favorite frothing-at-the-mouth rabid, paranoid, reality-impared, sexually harassing pervert, recently declared war on the Daily Kos blog. It's a long, fascinating story that shows just how powerful and influential citizen journalists have become.
Here's the short, incomplete version: O'Riley has been slagging Daily Kos on his show something fierce, because Kos had something to do with convincing Democratic presidential candidates to boycott any Fox sponsored debates. In retaliation, Fox managed to convince JetBlue, a sponsor of the upcoming YearlyKos convention, to pull out. In a tit for tat move, Kossacks convinced Lowe's Home Improvement to stop advertising on O'Riley's show, and they're going after local sponsors next.
And now that O'Riley has drummed up all sorts of free publicity for Daily Kos, they've declared today Falafel Day and are posting quotes and links related to the sexual harassment suit that was filed a few years ago by a former employee of Papa Bear.
I'm just lovin' it. I'm downright giddy. I predict O'Riley falls over dead of an aneurysm.
In other news, Oliver, a podcast listener from the UK who's vacationing here before going off to university, is crashing at our house tonight because he couldn't find a hotel. The kids are really, really excited to meet him.
