The state of feminism

No no no, I have no intention of delivering a national address on the subject, but a comment on the TRex meltdown that R Mildred discussed really through me for a loop:
One need look no further than the cracks about blond hair and tits from self-described “feminists” to see the reason for the sad state […]

Understand your enemy

Pam and Amanda have some great posts up today on the anti-contraception position of the anti-choicers and the importance of red herrings in conservative discourse.
People often feel shocked and bewildered when they hear about people who supposedly want both fewer abortions and no contraception at the same time. What a total contradiction, right? […]

World is broken again: Abortion provider accused of “masquerading” as a forced pregnancy center

5 Comments Published by R. Mildred September 24th, 2006

You know those crisis pregnancy centers, those places that will routinely dress themselves up to look like PP clinics and similar places so as to ensure that the maximum number of pregnancy women are, quite literally*, lied to death?

Well one apparently hates logic, sanity and irony more than usual, because they’re sueing an abortion provider for, I fuck you not, pretending to be a crisis pregnancy center. (via)

The fuck? Continue reading ‘World is broken again: Abortion provider accused of “masquerading” as a forced pregnancy center’

State-sponsored fucking won’t go over well with the clinic bombers

The Democrats are reaching out to the lifers with legislation designed to ease burdens on pregnant women:
Rep. Lincoln Davis (D-TN) unveiled the Pregnant Women Support Act at a press conference Wednesday on Capitol Hill. The bill is in the spirit of the “95-10 Abortion Reduction Initiative” proposed by some Congressional Democrats and Democrats for Life […]

But what about Flarfdorg and Squeeshoom?

Osama Possibly dead: Ravages of Time 1, American Imperialism 0

4 Comments Published by R. Mildred September 23rd, 2006

So a leaked memo is saying that the French are saying that the Saudis are saying that Osama may have died of typhoid.

However, this may not be the october surprise that Rove was hinting at.

Nor indeed will it be particularly surprising when the bush admin declares that Osama was killed by a CIA trained death-fetus-Hurricane while he was having gay sex with a baby box turtle and couldn’t possibly have died from Typhoid because The Bush Administration only accepts Germ Theory when it can be better used to scare dipshit midwesterners who’s only connection with terrorism was firebombing a few abortion clinics in the 90’s.

No, the surprise will be when the nation learns that The Bush Adminstration has been granted - by democratic spinelessness adn media blind eye turning - the legal power to kidnap all american citizens, strap them down and duct tape* their eyelids open so that they can be forced to watch Rove doing his infamous version of “Big Brother’s thong wearing and neck flab flapping dance of will breaking totalitarianism” until every single person in america agrees to vote for republicans and appropriately buttsucking democrats.

Which will come as quite surprise to more people than it really should.

* Such is the evil of the bush administration that they would dare to pervert the holy material of duct tape for their evil ways.

Bastards.

I concur: This IS a massive time sucker

For a few seconds there, I thought Lauren was going to out-geek, out-dork, or out-nerd me. Some of the questions focused on appearance, and I happen to have seen pictures of Lauren: she is both more attractive and more stylish than I am. She must know elvish or have an X-files themed bedroom to make up those points.

A BBC.com editorial by World Conservation scientist Jeffery McNeely lists some of the lesser-discussed cons of biofuels, including ethanol:

However, biofuels - made by producing ethanol, an alcohol fuel made from maize, sugar cane, or other plant matter - may be a penny wise but pound foolish way of doing so….
-Much of the fuel that Europeans […]

Your fingerpainting reminds me of death, Janie. Can’t you just recite important dates in US history like a good little girl?

Mixing Memory recently discussed some social psych experiments regarding Terror Management Theory and the impact of high “mortality salience,” i.e. awareness of one’s own mortality, on a person’s perceptions. Politically, high mortality salience was linked to supporting Bush and conservatism:
In what is probably the most famous set of TMT experiments, Landau et al.2 first […]
