Sodomites and babykillers beware

Randall Terry’s got our number.

Following his last big success on the demonstration circuit, certified whackjob and fetus fetishist extraordinaire Randall Terry is on the protest road again.  Next up:  President Obama’s speech at the Human Rights Coalition banquet this coming Saturday.  And why not?  After he rips and rends the fabic of society, probably with his blood-dripping fangs, Obama plans on weaving a hedonistic hell with the tattered shreds:

“By seeking to normalize and codify a thing that God calls mortal sin, they seek to tear the very fabric of Christian society apart, and with the tattered remains, weave a hedonistic hell, a modern day Sodom. This effects us all; our schools, our businesses, our children, our grandchildren…”

…our dogs, our cats, our goldfish, our farm animals and our watermelons (at least any that fellow fetus fetishist Neal Horsley comes into contact with)…

“The child-killing movement and the ‘homosexual marriage’ movement have formed an unbreakable bond – a ‘cultural axis of evil’ – because they both spring from the same root: the rejection of God’s Law and Natural Law concerning human sexuality and procreation.

Got that?   Rights for Womban Beings, not for Human Beings.

Bill Ayers writes this blog

No, really.  Andandand! [pant, scream, foam at the mouth] I have a boarding pass that proves it!

I take it back, Chris and JAB — for a long time it’s been too close to call, but now I have to concede that maybe your wingnuts really are stupider than ours.

…Err, but on the other hand, maybe not.

UPDATE: Shorter Bill Ayers: “Gotcha!” (h/t Cathie from Canada)

I can haz separation of church and state

One of the things I like about being Canadian is that nobody has ever suggested that our Constitution was delivered by Jesus Christ…

…or made artwork to that effect.

If you visit the website, you can view the picture in full size (oh joy), roll your cursor over each of the characters in it and get a rundown about who they are and what they represent.

The backdrop is that well-known religious setting, the US Capitol.  The guy in the lower right corner, counting money and drooling, is a lawyer.  The woman on his right is Pregnant and, pointing across the aisle at Sarah and Baby Trigg a Woman and Her Disabled Baby, dreams of having her own special needs child.  Then there’s The Professor, with his smug, intellectual smirk, holding the wicked writings of Darwin and standing next to Satan and The Hollywood Guy (who’s leering at The Pregnant Woman — “I’d tap that”).   I especially liked the writeup with The Civil War Soldier:  “Hopefully it (Civil War) will never happen again“.   Uh yeah, hopefully.

UPDATE: Jebus Painting revised.  (From Wonkette).

How happy is the world that Georgie is gone?

This happy.

Never mind that — Canada dropped from 4th place to 7th.  Hmm.

From earlier tonight

But but but… Carter!

When we left wingnut website “Newsmax” last week, John L. Perry was  calling for a military coup to “resolve the Obama problem“.  It took “several” complaints before the bright lights at Newsmax recognized this for the bad craziness that it was, and pulled the article.  The page 404′d for awhile, then was replaced with this:

I get it: so the fuckwit who wrote the treasonous travesty is a liberal, is that the story?  Is that what they’re trying to suggest?   Okay, now for a little background on this guy — check out this little song he wrote about Obama 5 years ago:

Already you can hear rappers ranting out best-seller CDs without once repeating themselves:

“Obama, Boama, Amabo, Maboa.

“Oamba, Bamoa, Abamo, Maoba.

“Oabam, Baoma, Amoba, Moaba.

“Obaam, Bamao, Aobma, Mboaa.

“Obmaa, Bomaa, Aobam, Maaob.”

Captures the very heart and soul of America, doesn’t it?.

Everybody Sing Now

“We’re Barack Obama bound!

“There’ll be no heebie-jeebies hanging ’round.

“All aboard Barack’s Express!”

AF-LAC!

Who let that duck in?

Never mind the duck, who let the friggin KKK in?  Liberal, right.  Nice try, Newsmax.

See Steve sing

Quite a few Canadian blogs are discussing the Prime Minister’s musical performance on the weekend, so why not this one.  Here he is, at a ‘rich gala‘, crooning away and ticklin’ them ivories… sing, Steve, sing!

Obviously Harper didn’t just decide to spontaneously burst into song at this event (at least one person, Laureen Harper, admits to being aware of Harper’s hidden musical agenda).  It was a stroke of PR genius and whoever came up with it should get a raise.  Hell, even I momentarily liked the guy a little more while I was watching this (not that that’s saying much), so one can only imagine the effect it had on some of the mushy-middle types who’ve been ambivalent towards Harper because of his lack of warmth and charisma.

Harper’s opponents would be wise to give him props for having fun, and move on.

UPDATE: Pale’s more reality-based version.

Sad

Canadian Teabagger FAIL. 

Maybe it was that first oh-so-NSFW link that comes up when you search “Canadian Tea Party“.

Or maybe Canadians just don’t have the Teabagger gene (or should I say, that extra chromosome).

Calling all techies

What is SKYPE?  Do I need it?

I know, Use Teh Googles.  I did.  The website says something about cheaper cell phone calls, which is something I’d definitely be into since I no longer use a land line.

I’d like to see some firsthand experience:  how has Skype enriched your life?  Thanks in advance.

Turkeys

My wayward flock has returned, and they’ve been busy.  They used to be 7, then 5, then for a long time it was just 3.  Now:  thirteen (13).

Mr. Black is interested but doesn’t quite know what to make of these giant birds.  They are totally unperturbed by his presence.

Whoops, they’re on the move…

Marching one by one past the deck, they head out back

Marching, marching…

… past the tomato garden and into the pasture for an evening snack.

Then they hang out for awhile.  Mr.Black wisely decides to lay back and keep an eye on things.

And finally, they’re ready to call it a day.  Making their way up to the roof, they strut around for awhile before heading up into the big tree in the background for the night.

If you look right dead center at this picture, you can see 4 or 5 turkeys in the tree… there’s more up there, but it’s hard to see them.

Conservative response to losing Olympic bid

A meeting of “Americans for Prosperity“, the corporate pimps who are trying their damnedest to keep 40 million people from getting health care, hears that the US lost their bid for the 2016 Olympics:

Bear in mind, they’re cheering for the loss of thousands of potential jobs and millions in tourism revenue for the city of Chicago.

Oh yeah, and War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength.

(via the Political Carnival)

Why does Jill Stanek hate America?

Giggle giggle teehee, drool gibber snort slobber:

What are we to make of Nurse Stanek and her gang of spittle-flecked, foaming-at-the-mouth fetus humpers rooting against America right along with shitheads like Osama Bin Laden?   Just one more thing they have in common with the Taliban, I guess.

Maher

Bill Maher considers some possible ghost writers for Sarah Palin’s book:

Or maybe Herman Wouk could have written it as “The McCain Mutiny”.

Time to get laid

back.

This has to be satire

Because nobody could be this much of an asshole.

The same wingnut blogger who defamed murdered census worker Bill Sparkman last week is at it again with more brainwork.. now he speculates that Sparkman may have had Teh Ghey.

Which obviously makes it even more okay to kill him, right?

Hmm update: Good question.  After all, he’s never denied it, and it would be irresponsible not to speculate.

140 characters or less doesn’t make it any less a lie

Bulltwitters beware, there’s a new Tweep in the Twitterverse: “Liar Alert“.

This is either a bot or an extremely busy person, because its primary purpose appears to be calling out all the lies generated by the right-wing tweet machine.  One after another, after another, after another, after another…

Since it would be a full-time job (and when I say “full time” I mean “24/7″, with “no sleep”) to track all the lies of these prolific bullshitters, Liar Alert sometimes adds a bracketed “One Lie Fits All”-type note just to make things a little easier:

Oh, and lookee here:

Good luck, Liar Alert.   You got your work cut out for you.

Paranoia strikes deep

Into your life it will tweet…

No loss should go uncelebrated

Why do liberals want America to fail?  Uh… pardon?:

It’s not often that conservatives celebrate the U.S. losing out to countries like Brazil and Spain, especially not when the loss involves a prominent event like the Summer Olympics. But when the International Olympic Committee eliminated Chicago as a potential host for the 2016 games in the first round of voting on Friday, the right broke out the champagne.

No, really:

A year ago, a conservative Republican president told Chicago, “This country supports your bid, strongly.” That was then, before the right decided their hatred for the president’s hometown was more important than anything else.

Remember, in 2005, when New York was eliminated as a host city for the 2012 Olympics, and liberals everywhere giggled like children and mocked the Bush administration?

Oh wait, that didn’t happen.

On the upside, if I was working on advertising for the Democrats’ midterm campaign, I’d be rubbing my hands together with glee.

The tweet that launched a thousand shit-fits

Oh the horror, the horror:

Penelope Trunk runs a business called The Brazen Careerist, which is described as “a social network to help young people manage their careers”.  This one little tweet, intentionally or not, probably generated more awareness of it than 52 weeks of 1/4-page ads in the New York Times, but never mind that.

Oh-so-predictably, response to Trunk’s horrific tweet was swift and terrible.  As with anything related to female reproductive activity, the news quickly made its way  to the fetosphere where it was held out as proof  positive that pro-choicers are cold-hearted, emotionally unstable bitches who have abortions like morning mocha lattes.  Melinda Henneberger of Politics Daily, who was more concerned with Trunk’s openness about something she should properly be hiding in the dark and flogging herself over, harrumphed:

I’ve written a lot about my conservative abortion views; nonetheless, I do not think Trunk’s wahoo, drive-through view of abortion is typical. Most normal women take these and other serious decisions seriously. No, it’s her ‘tude toward disclosure that I see as a sign of the times.

That’s the general flavour:  people were disturbed that Trunk tweeted about something so personal.  But so what?  If she wants to, who are we to say she can’t?  It’s her choice, and if it’s too much information, her readers also have a choice.

But the outrage grew and soon Ms.Trunk was on CNN giving an admirably  upfront, no-bullshit interview (video here).  Flummoxing a tut-tutting Rick Sanchez, Trunk rightly emphasized that the real outrage was the obstacle course she had to navigate to get an abortion in her state.

Sanchez’s “Have you no shame” attitude and the Politics Daily article raise something else that irritates me, something characterized by this patronizing horseshit from Henneberg: “Most normal women take these and other serious decisions seriously”.  Like the only way to legitimize our private decisions is to beat ourselves up over them.  “As if”, as they say.

Hopefully an elegant little PR move  (if that’s what it was) like the “miscarriage tweet” will remind women that we aren’t obligated to genuflect before the Fetus Gods, cower and self-flagellate in order to validate our reproductive decisions to the world.  And if we feel like sharing, good on us.

Your personality, according to your blog

While surfing around last night in search of something amusing that wouldn’t cause my head to implode (ie. “News”), I stumbled upon “The Typealyzer“, which assesses a blogger’s personality by somehow analyzing the blog’s content… or something like that…

My results:

Hmm… Brain Activity in the “Thinking” quadrant is conspicuous in its absence.  Oh well.  What I lack in logic and cognitive ability I apparently make up for in touchy-feeliness.  Yuck.

It would be interesting to see how it performs on blogs that have more than one author.    Go on, give it a whack.

Hollywood, WTF?

If Roman Polanski had been a pedophile priest who fled the country after drugging and raping a 13-year-old kid, you’d want his ass in jail — 30 years, 40 years, 140 years later — and rightly so.  Artistic talent and brilliance isn’t a Get Out Of Jail Free card.  Brilliant, artistically-talented scum is still scum — these are not mutually exclusive qualities.

Anyone defending this odious but undeniably talented little creep needs to have some sense slapped into them:  “He’s brilliant!  He’s a scumbag!  He’s brilliant!  He’s a scumbag!”
