    They're being very outspoken about it.

    They're kooks. Put a microphone in front of them. They'll tell you.

    Well, she probably should have talked to somebody who knows how birth actually takes place, you know, like ... a doctor??

    But where's the money quote Starman?

    The Yahoo article doesn't live up to the headline, and the Time article gives us this:

    1. He delivered their second-born son in the bathroom


    The book opens with a rather harrowing account of Candy Carson going into premature labor with her second son with Ben. As Candy cries in pain from the bathroom, she has trouble waking Ben from his exhausted sleep. But then, “Ben dashed into the bathroom just in time to catch BJ before he fully emerged, holding the baby in one hand while he caught the afterbirth in the other.” Then he snips the umbilical cord with a hair clip.


    Why do we get a quote from her book leading up to the big snip, but a summation of the actual act?

    If this is the big takeaway, tell us what she says.

    Go buy the book if you're that curious.

    Yeah, ok.

    I guess I'm crazy for wanting a story, that includes quotes from the book, to give me the quote to back the most outrageous claim made in the story, and highlighted in the headline.

    MSNBC has spent the majority of the morning discussing Cruz's potential eligibility for the Presidency.

    But, they're just "asking questions". They've been very clear that the Supreme Court has never ruled on this.

    But, I'm sure this would have never been raised in the media if not for Donald Trump's noncommittal answer to multiple questions from the media.
