Did anyone talk about anything else besides Rep. Akin’s ludicrous and offensive sexual assault comments last week? I suppose we did, but it certainly dominated a lot of the conversation (hopefully you had the opportunity to read IAFN”s statement). Fortunately, there has been other stuff in the news since last we spoke:
