One of the creepiest signs displayed by some of the 70,000, strike
that, 500,000, strike that, 2,000,000,000, strike that, eleventy
bazillion tea-baggers who turned out to protest an election that
happened 10 months ago looked like this:

Sure is a good-looking sign - well designed, professionally printed...
What's that in the lower-right-hand corner? ALL? And what's that
next to the ALL acronym? An abstract depiction of a fetus! Well,
I'll be darned - this sign is the handiwork of the American Life
League, an extreme right-wing Catholic organization that opposes all
forms of artificial birth control and all abortions, even to save the
woman's life.
Going to ALL's web site, sure enough, they own up to it, with Judie
Brown providing the sort of reasoning that would normally lead to
involuntary commitment.
I'm just a lapsed Lutheran, but isn't it just a bit unseemly for a
Catholic group to be bringing the snark over the death of a prominent
politician?
