Might as well report that the sky is blue
2008-05-30 16:05:00 Can someone tell me why it’s news that the Catholic church is still a bigoted institution? For example, a day or so after California declared that it was unconstitutional to ban homosexuals from legally marrying, it was considered “news” when Pope Ratface declared that the Catholic church still considers homosexuality to be icky.

Michigan Democrats pass abortion legislation
2008-05-28 16:37:00 One of the arguments for supporting the democratic nominee this fall is that a failure to put a democrat in office will result in the further erosion of reproductive freedom. This argument annoys and angers me because 1) it’s fear-based and 2) democrats have been selling out women for years now. If there’s one ...

The Rules in Florida & Michigan
2008-05-22 17:02:00 One of the things that’s baffled me this election season is how so many don’t seem to grasp the fact that Hillary Clinton did not break the rules by not removing her name from the ballots in Michigan and Florida .

Houston wins! Pollutes more air than LA!
2008-04-17 19:41:00 Since moving to Houston from El Paso about six or seven years ago I swear a month hasn’t went by without me spending a few days with some moderate to severe congestion. It’s so bad that I like to say I’m allergic to Houston. So it’s with great displeasure that I announce that Houston, Texas has taken first place for releasing 18.625 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere barely beating out Los Angeles (another place I’m allergic to) which took 2nd place with 18.595 million tons. As you may be aware both of these cities are obsessed with pubic “morality” in that they’ve declared war on smokers and other domestic sources of air pollutants (aka: things that we can pretend are worse than the actually worse things the government is involved in). Both earned their medals by allowing their moneymakers to run wild with Los Angeles paving the entire area and Houston saying “what industrial pollution?!?” while really c... More About: Wins
We the people are pissed off
2008-04-17 18:23:00 Apparently there was a “debate” last night on ABC involving Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. I wasn’t aware of it myself and had I been I would’ve probably still went out and had a few beers. Judging from the response this morning, I missed what was the most asinine thing the mass media has done in quite some time. There are nearly 14,000 responses on ABC’s site and here’s a sample of what the people who may wish they’d went out and had a beer or two instead have to say: This so-called debate was ABSURD! Why do talking politico newspeople think the show is about THEM! This goes for everyone from Tweety, Russert and now obviously to Glib-son and Staphocoluous.

That didn’t take long did it?
2008-04-16 19:33:00 Yesterday I wrote about various Christian groups that don’t seem to understand that anti-discrimination laws protect them not just from non-Christians, but from each other due in part to their constant battles over who’s a True Christian and the like. Today I find a post over at A Whore in the Temple of Reason about an editorial in her home state that starts with this line: They can’t be real Christians. They must be part of an atheist cabal. Though this “they” is the Westboro Baptist Church which is virulently anti-gay, this is how a lot of individual Christians and sects act. No one but them and their own are the real deal. Everything else is either fake or a plot by the most hated group around which in this case happens to be atheists. And this is exactly why all Christians should be thankful for anti-discrimination laws. Christians seem to hate each other more than any other group as their favorite sport is seriously attacking each other. As some... More About: Long

Obama: abortion is never a good thing
2008-04-14 15:47:00 Barack Obama is getting on my nerves.
