Cute.

I must have signed up for emails somehow, because I’m getting them.  And while I usually unsubscribe as quickly as possible from stuff like that, these emails from MomsRising have been fairly informative.  Today I got one about the Family Tax Relief Act of 2009, and instead of doing a quick delete, I actually clicked the link and sent a letter to my Senators asking them to sponsor it.  

If anyone has kids in daycare, you probably know there are some handy tax deductions that come into play.  This bill improves them and aims to make daycare more affordable.

I just Googled to find an update on the case, and the second entry that came up was Wikipedia.  Something about seeing the first sentence really got me.

George Richard Tiller, MD (August 8, 1941 – May 31, 2009) was a physician from Wichita, Kansas.

Was.

Just terrible news.  I don’t have much to say about it beyond that.  Seems like a piece of news that belongs here.
