Microsoft
Has anyone noticed the spellcheck in Microsoft Word? Does it always auto-correct Obama to Osama?

if for only one reason
i'm not one to make irrational decisions about something as important as picking our next president, but um, i have to say something: senator obama, you are a hunky hunky man.

10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage is Wrong
1) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.
2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
3) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.
4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.
5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were
allowed; the sanctity of Britney Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.
6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.
7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.
9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.
10) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

bugger
fuck. here we go again. w. david hager - beloved ob-gyn from kentucky, the man who president bush wanted to appoint to an essential role in the fda, the man who refuses to dispense various forms of birth control to his patients because it offends his moral values - that dr. moral values, that one - raped his ex-wife repeatedly from 1995 to 2002, when she finally left him. oh, and he didn't just rape her vaginally. he raped her anally, while she was taking medication being used to treat her narcolepsy. the man buggered his wife while she slept.
the details can be found in the may 12th edition of the nation. the story is sordid, and i don't want to quote any of it here. you can read it for yourself. quite frankly, the man clearly has serious hang-ups about sex. but duh. most of us could have told you that given the things he has said and done in the past. he's obsessed with sex; he's obsessed with the idea that women can't be trusted with their bodies, that they need a paternalistic doctor to tell them how their reproductive systems really work, and how if they gave themselves to jesus, their ills would be cured.
some of you may remember hager as the asswipe that the current president appointed to the fda's advisory committee for reproductive health drugs. he was one of the few members of this committee who voted against making plan b available over the counter. his reasoning? - it would encourage adolescents to engage in unsafe sex. (the fact that he considers plan b to be an abortifacient was not a factor. yeah, right.)
so, hager is not exactly the man i want with his hands in my vagina while i'm getting my annual pelvic exam. he and i do no see eye-to-eye on women's health care issues. my question is, why do misogynistic fucknuts like this go into obstetrics and gynecology? sheeeesh. i wonder if it's because he's a little insecure in his manhood? wants to have power over women? wants women to come to his office and tell them all about their sexual histories while he hides his woody under his desk while lecturing them on their immoral abuses of their god-given womanly parts?
so, tell me again. w stands for women? not quite. w stands behind men who anally rape their wives - better to see the view.

un chiste
Q: how many bush administration officials does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: none. there is nothing wrong with the light bulb; its conditions are improving every day. any reports of its lack of incandescence are a delusional spin from the liberal media. that light bulb has served honorably, and anything you say undermines the lighting effect. why do you hate freedom?

eleven two
alright.
i'm not going to judge you - at least for the next 5 minutes.
look, i know you've heard it a million times, but i'm going to have to tell you again: you need to VOTE. i should've blogged at least a few days ago for those few truly shameful apathetics who never even took the time to register, but now that it's too late, i am going to aim this toward the rest of you who think it doesn't matter. i'm hoping to hit the bulls eye, at least amongst one of you.
maybe you've never been denied healthcare or had to fight in a war; maybe your parents have never lost their jobs; and maybe, just maybe, you've never had to pay a dime for college. if you're one of these people, you're most likely one of the top 5% of wealthy americans, and congratufuckinglations to you. seriously - i not trying to make you feel bad about it. i'd be living the high life too... sex and the city, quite literally.
but think about it. if that's the top 5%, the bottom 95% is quite obviously facing a life less convenient. in the past 4 years, jobs have been cut at an unparalleled rate, healthcare costs have gone up, and we've entered into a holy war with a country that never even attacked us. and let's not forget about the "inalienable rights" that have been or are currently being stripped from citizens of our society. after 9/11, a jittery congress was quick to sign the patriot act, allowing the government full access to conduct surveillance and gather intelligence on anyone that looked "suspicious" or more honestly, anyone who looked muslim. but if you're gay, now that requires a constitutional amendment. somehow, the leaders of our country believe gay marriage is too sacred - it's just less meaningful between two men or two women. i mean, look at britney spears' 55-hour marriage...
look. listen. read for your sake (not christ's). don't give me that bullshit that you just don't know because that is your responsibility. you have every resource available to you and every opportunity to do something about it. stop taking advantage of a privilege most people in this world do not have. get out there, pick a damn side, and VOTE.
