Q and O

They're having a good day over there. I agree with almost everything Dale Franks is saying about the Schiavo case below the comments. Persistant legislative state indeed. In the end I think this was a major mistake by the pro-life groups. Yes it is a woman's life, but they have badly overplayed their hands and will face negative reprecussions for so obviously making congress dance to their tune.

And for what? Nothing. Terry Schiavo's feeding tube isn't being put back in. There are others more deserving of attention who aren't getting it. All because of an obsession over this one case that had already been literally litigated to death.

On a technology note, McQ has a story about a 400 foot long WWII-era Japanese submarine which has been found off Hawaii. Why is this cool? Because the thing is so large it has a hanger with three short range bombers (and enough parts to build a fourth).
