- Yes, it's *two*, *two*, *two* time-wasters in one! Yes, we get not
- only the Pee-Wee Herman Defense ("I know I am, but what are you?") but the
- now-classic Spelling Flame. Such a deal.
- Just for the halibut, I'll actually point out once again that zygotes,
- embryos, and fetii are not persons, no matter how often or how loudly anti-
- abortion types insist that they are. Legally, this is a matter of fact.
- Otherwise, it's a matter of belief.
- Y'all can return to the Argument Clinic. That'll be 5 pounds sterling.
- Thankyew.
