Tara Murtha has an ibncredible peice in the Philly Weekly today, a further response to writer Dan Rottenberg’s apologia for rape. In this incredibly misguided piece filled with discredited ideas, perhaps the worst was when Rottenberg wrote:

Shorter Christine Flowers: “Do the Crime, Do the Time… AND NO JOBS FOR YOU EVER AGAIN.”

Serious Question
Booman Tribune, on the latest foreclosure/mortgage crisis:
