Saturday Morning Open Thread

Football's on the docket today, both college and pro, so I expect Dave will be along shortly with a cheerleader to criticize. And there's a debate tonight at 9pm Eastern that we'll be liveblogging while watching football with the volume muted.

In the meantime, Steyn has a great piece on the faux empathy of the left if you need to return your blood to a boil this morning.

The short life of Gabriel Santorum would seem a curious priority for political discourse at a time when the Brokest Nation in History is hurtling toward its rendezvous with destiny. But needs must, and victory by any means necessary. In 2008, the Left gleefully mocked Sarah Palin’s live baby. It was only a matter of time before they moved on to a dead one.

Liberals stake out this moral high ground where they "care" about all sorts of "people": The Poor™, The 99%™, The Children™, Minorities™, Undocumented Citizens™, etc. ad nauseam.

But they sure don't seem to give a crap about any individual human beings, do they? It's all about creating and preserving groups that can be pitted against one another for electoral advantage.

As a matter of fact, they're downright hostile to individuals. And especially those in the earliest stages of life.

[Update]: Another good post on the topic by Peter Wehner.
