The NY Times Caucus blog reports that President Obama’s chief Minister of Disinformation is stepping down from his post as WH Press Secretary, but in reality, Gibbs will still play a prominent role in the agenda of the Obama administration as the President ‘officially’ transitions into re-election phase (via Memeorandum):
Just got done reading the spirited comments to Ed Morrissey’s post at Hot Air on the news that the Navy has relieved Commander Owen Honors of command in light of “racy videos” which apparently show varying degrees of simulated sex acts and alleged gay slurs, among other things (I can’t comment too much on the videos – I haven’t watched them). The comments at HA overwhelming support Owens, and decry what they feel as a dangerous culture of political correctness permeating through the military, adversely affecting morale and hurting distinguished careers. Some speculate that, considering the videos are four years old, Owens might be being deliberately targeted by someone who has a grudge and who doesn’t want to see him promoted. Others opined that it was perfect timing for the videos after the repeal of DADT.

NY Times columnist Ross Douthat wrote an emotional piece today about the issues of abortion, fertility, and adoption. In the column, he noted how – contrary to what liberals want you to believe – abortion is hardly the “rare” event we’re told it is, and how – also contrary to what liberals want you to believe – the waiting lists to adopt grow each year, due to the rise of single parenthood and, shocker of shockers, abortion. In the article, he made no moral judgments against any woman who has had an abortion; rather, he mourned the aborting of 1 in 5 pregnancies especially in light of the fact that so many do want to adopt. So many babies could have had warm, loving homes if only their mother had made the choice to keep them.
