The Hubris of Heterosexuality
It’s amazing what people think they can say to you.
“I mean, I don’t accept your lifestyle, but we can still be cool.”
Whatchu mean you don’t accept my lifestyle, but “we” can still be cool? Who the fuck do you think you are?
I’ve pretty much had it with benevolent acceptance of willful ignorance. If cats are on stupid shit, I feel compelled to not only be intolerant of it, but also to call it out when I see it.… [Read more]
DINOs Are Not Extinct
A DINO is not a dinosaur. A DINO is a Democrat In Name Only — those who align themselves with the political left in name but, at key voting times, leave some of us wishing that they, too, were extinct. That stated, the announcement by Senator Ben Nelson, ‘Democrat’ from Nebraska, that he will not seek re-election next term may turn into an example of liberals and progressives seeing that we should be careful of what we wish for.… [Read more]
Mississippi Yearning
Many of those ‘vacation with us in the Gulf Coast‘ commercials have been airing lately. Perhaps those ads are appearing so frequently at this time of the year because many people are on a holiday break; after all, what better time to think about a prospective vacation than when currently enjoying one?
The ads are part of a big push to bring in crowds to enjoy all the Gulf Coast offers.… [Read more]
Happy Boxing Day
According to Wikipedia:
“Boxing Day is traditionally a day following Christmas when wealthy people and homeowners in the United Kingdom would give a box containing a gift to their servants. Nowadays Boxing Day is better known as a bank or public holiday that occurs on December 26, or the first or second weekday after Christmas Day, depending on national or regional laws.… [Read more]
Rick Perry’s God Problem
Rick Perry got me thinking the other day. He had an encounter with a fourteen year old bisexual girl that went like this:
“This is about my faith, and I happen to think that there are a whole host of sins, homosexuality being one of them,” Perry said, adding that he himself was “a sinner” so he wouldn’t “be the first one to throw a stone”.… [Read more]
Fix It!!
"This is war(fare)"! We've heard that declaration quite frequently though, in recent weeks, the rhetoric has toned down somewhat and been replaced by other nonsense spewed by the CONservative spin meisters. Despite being ratcheted down a notch, the whining and lying talking points from the right continue to focus on how the poor and middle-class have declared war against the ultra-rich. Read more...
Kim Jong-il, Rest in Pea…actually, nevermind
I don’t know much about Kim Jong-il, except that his lil hair and glasses were hilarious…and that he seemed certifiably *off* (not quite there; not the sharpest knife in the cutlery set; not the brightest bulb in the box). The commentators called him “eccentric,” while we who have little allegiance to political correctness, called a spade a spade — dude was off.… [Read more]
Wrong!
The latest Congressional nonsense is really no surprise. Anyone paying attention would have known that the right expects all compromises to come from the left — and unless the left compromises, there is no compromise at all. Apparently, there will be no attempts to find solutions, either. House Republicans ran away from extending, for at least a two month period until there are more concrete solutions and agreements can be made, the payroll tax cut that benefits the middle class.… [Read more]
