Bumped by al-Qaida

Damn. The Fox Cable News Network was slated to descend on the Stranger offices today to interview me about my recent criticisms of NARAL. (Go figure.)
Anyway, I ironed my shirt, put goop in my hair, and brought a tie into work. And I had my soundbite all ready. I was going to preface every statement about my disappointment in NARAL with the following refrain: It’s the Republicans fault that the state doesn’t mandate comprehensive, medically accurate sex education. But the Fox’s NW correspondent canceled. He said he’s off chasing today’s headline story about the London bomb suspect’s ties to Seattle. He did reschedule for tomorrow. We’ll see.
