A new Gallup poll finds a big drop in Americans who call themselves economic conservatives, and an all-time high - 30% - of those who describe their social views as liberal. Incremental.

Backlash grows to Abercrombie & Fitch's "ostentatious dick" of a CEO Mike Jeffries' wanting just the cool thin kids thanks, despite his non-apology noting that A&F is an "aspiration brand" but really they care about all you slobs of losers out there too. Sales are down, petition signatures are up, protests have sprouted, a defiant Fatkini has sold out, and The Militant Baker has thanked Jeffries in an open letter, complete with A&F parody photos, for creating "an incredible opportunity to challenge our current social construct."

Throwing fact, law and reason to the wind, Arizona's anti-choice Rep. Trent Franks brought his brilliant new idea for a nationwide ban on already-rare late-term abortion - an idea already swiftly killed in D.C. and just declared unconstitutional in Arizona - to an all-male (hello?) House Judiciary Subcommittee, arguing that his fight to stop "55 million little American babies dying" and save "the lives of little innocent children when they're crying" is just like abolishing slavery and ending the Holocaust. The odds for passage of his "Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act" are, hopefully, slim.
