Things making me laugh today

In a BBC item on gender inequality in China you have the re-cap:

The Chinese government says it is drafting new laws to tackle the growing gender imbalance caused by the widespread abortion of female foetuses.

And then this statement by the UN:

The UN recommends a gender ratio of no more than 107.

Female infanticide isn’t funny, but those two statements above are. “new laws” to have girls? (actually it’s just laws with harsher punishments for aborting girls) and the UN has a gender ratio recommendation? ROFL

Captain Ed vs Hillary. Regarding Hillary’s statement about how a terrorist attack here would be good for the GOP and shows she’s the best Dem for the job.

It’s an asinine statement. It shows what happens when Hillary gets away from her handlers and starts talking on her own. The only relation she has to her husband’s political sense is her last name.
