Devastating: Philly-area columnist asks a key, yet horrifying, Gosnell question

Devastating. That key question should put things in perspective for those in the media who are refusing to cover the trial of Kermit Gosnell and his house of horrors.

As Twitchy readers know, J.D. Mullane has been there diligently reporting every day. He has sat through the horrifying testimony, day after day.

@mandita74 The power of the testimony and the pictures shown in court changes hearts and minds.

At defense table, Kermit #Gosnell sits hunched, scribbling, steel-rimmed eyeglasses set upside down on open medical text. Looks up. Smiles.

Big Media scribe overheard saying after grisly #Gosnell testimony: “I don’t know how I can eat my lunch after seeing all of that.”

And he has continued to call out other media outlets for ignoring the trial.

@mikethreeswyk Telling the truth and raising hell. It’s what columnists do.

New York Times bails on daily coverage #Gosnell trial. Will cover “highlights” only.

Perhaps other members of the media can’t handle the truth exposed by Mr. Mullane’s key question.

@jdmullane Great question.

— Loretta Nobis (@IBKeys) April 18, 2013

Indeed.

And great work, Mr. Mullane. Thank you for doing the job that others in the media won’t do.

An Astronaut Gave An Out-Of-This-World Tribute To Leonard Nimoy

Live long and prosper.

Star Trek fans are still in mourning for Leonard Nimoy, the actor famous for his role as Spock, who died on Friday at the age of 83.

The beloved sci-fi character was known by the Vulcan “live long and prosper” hand gesture.

Fans, both famous and otherwise, have been using the gesture to pay tribute to Nimoy.

In a fitting extraterrestrial tribute to the late star, NASA Astronaut Terry Virts has tweeted a picture of the Vulcan gesture from the International Space Station, looking down at Nimoy’s birthplace of Boston.

It’s enough to make even Spock a little bit emotional.

President Obama would be to be on his most useful behavior at the  70th anniversary for the D-Day landings in Normandy these days. He very nearly passed muster, but was that a huge wad of gum in his lips through the solemn ceremony? Twitter seemed to think so.
