The Stuff I Didn't Get To -- 8/16/07

-Something new to freak out about-
Antichoicers in New York City are clawing their own eyes out over a billboard campaign by a self-storage business.

Billboard with coathanger and ad copy


The billboard features a coathanger and reads, "Your closet space is shrinking as fast as her right to choose."

Catholic League President and perpetually freaked out lunatic Bill Donohue says of the billboard, "Those who like this billboard would no doubt be aghast at the sight of a billboard that featured a bloody baby who survived a botched abortion. They would be even more incensed if the picture were accompanied by the remark, 'This is what happens when abortion fails.'"

Actually, I think they'd be too busy trying to figure out what the hell that has to do with closet space, Bill. The company, Manhattan Mini Storage, previously ran a campaign with the slogan, "Your Closet's Scarier Than Bush's Agenda." In NYC, it's unlikely that GOP bashing is going to lose you any business.

-Headline of the day-
"Pentagon Paid $998,798 to Ship Two 19-Cent Washers." And not even overseas -- from S. Carolina to Texas. Turns out this happens a lot. Think this might be part of the reason that war in Iraq is costing us a gazillion dollars a second? (Bloomberg)

-Bonus HotD-
"Satanist tells jury he's a normal guy." And today's quote of the day: "What 19-year-old doesn't have some type of skulls?" You mean outside their head, right?

I keep trying to avoid Florida in the roundup, but there's something new every day... (Miami Herald)
