The Day Ahead: November 16

By Maia Lazar on 11.16.09 @ 6:30AM

Comment of the day:

Reader Dai Alanye on Blue Dog Backfire:

Men are allowed to take human life for purposes of legal execution, war or self defense.

If we apply this to women—as I believe we should—the only justification for abortion would be self defense. If the mother's life is endangered by carrying the child to term, or the pregnancy is the result of rape, self defense is the issue.

Incest should not enter into it unless rape, either forcible or statutory, is involved.

What to watch for:

NASA prepares to launch shuttle Atlantis on Monday.

Lou Dobbs will be on the O'Reilly show tonight.

Sarah Palin's talk with Oprah airs today.

There are large amounts of water on the moon.

Wife posed as schoolgirl to catch her pedophile husband.

Kosovo will have its first post-independence elections.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is going to New York to await trial.

In Britain, people may be limited to a "carbon allowance."

Friday's best:

Miss Lazar,

I hope this was "Comment of the Day" because of how mistaken it was.

I have not had much interest in football in 20 years. I watched no NFL games this year. Only one thing interests me. The NFL needs to get rid of the field goal and the pat kick. All pat's should be run or pass. It is absurd to have a have fought game decided by a cheap kick. A four touchdown game should be settled by real pat's; 27-25 or something. A close game should be decided by a last minute touchdown. This would make for more exciting games as the teams would have to work on pat drills as well as two minute drills. No more foreign soccer players coming in to keeck a touchdown.
