Above, The Cure classic 'Just Like Heaven' is the way I always feel at the end of the week here at Crooks and Liars.

Occasional Planet declares that progressives need to talk about abortion. Now is not the time be be polite!

Greg Fallis has thoughts.

The Recitifaction of Names says it's all a medicine show.

And speaking of medicine, Fair and Unbalanced presents Pill Gouging and the Absence of Justice.

Bonus Track: tywkiwdbi presents NASA's astronomy photo of the day, and I'm gob-smacked.

Thanks for letting me be a part of your week, I hope to be back soon!
