Strong women: Faster than a speeding vacuum, more powerful than a heavy frying pan

Rick Santorum eliminates vast majority of Catholics from the faith
Now that the media has finally figured out that there’s no “Catholic vote” and therefore Santorum isn’t winning it by virtue of his Catholicism, Santorum himself is being questioned about this supposedly puzzling phenomenon. His response? One of my favorite logical fallacies: No True Scotsman. I think the bottom line…

A senior adviser to Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Wednesday insisted the former Massachusetts governor wasn’t being hurt by adopting more conservative positions during the primary because he could “start over again” for the general election.
