Good. There is absolutely nothing controversial about this ad. People who can’t cope with the legal reality in Canada (we allow abortion at any time in a pregnancy at the woman’s sole discretion) really shouldn’t work on getting bus ads taken down. They should work on changing that terrible reality.

On a different note, blogging may be light today and the next couple of days. I know I have a big, mammoth, scary deadline. And speaking of Malkin and threatening death–and whether that is funny or not–if someone were to do away with me right now, that would be a really good excuse for not finishing this project. I’m just saying. “I got tired and couldn’t keep going” = not a good excuse. “Someone shot me, and I’m recovering in hospital” = most excellent excuse. (I’m not asking for trouble, by the way. Just stating the facts about stressful deadlines and good excuses.)
