Another "women are stupid"-law The ... (May 24 2003 23:52 GMT) - Another "women are stupid"-law The Republican-controlled Texas legislature is working on a law that will require a 24-hour waiting period before having an abortion. In true orwellian fashion the fundies want to call it "Women's Right to Know." Only 15 of the 254 counties in Texas have abortion providers and the new law would lead women who travel in the expansive state to receive the procedure to spend an extra day to have an abortion. I picked this up at Rayne Today, who has some heartfelt opinions on the subject. It never ceases to amaze me how important it is for religious nuts to control women's bodies. |

Ban the Comic Sans MS Typeface (May 24 2003 23:47 GMT) - I've never been a big fan of the Comic Sans typeface from Microsoft (only when used in moderation, like the occasional use on the Lockergnome sites). It has its uses, but people use it far too much. Apparently there's a group that hates it so much, they've created little stickers for you to paste onto signs on the street that use the typeface.
