40 Countries Have Lower Newborn Death Rates Than... →
40 countries.
40 fucking countries have better health care for newborn children than the United States. (Which, oddly enough, arrogantly believes its health care system is the best in the world.)
This is where the so-called ‘pro-life’ stance fails. When you are willing to throw peoples’ health care under the bus, you cause irreparable harm politically and socially. ...

August deadliest month for U.S. troops in... →
I figure this needs to be posted as a reminder that not only are we still at war, but we’re still fighting three wars simultaneously. (Am I the only one who accurately predicted that the war in Libya would not be the quick and easy operation that Obama promised?)
That doesn’t magically go away because we finally notice twenty-five million people have been thrown into the street at...

Woman Buys a Block of Wood with an Apple Logo... →
Outstanding.
Per Gawker.com:
The spectacularly stupid Ashley McDowell was approached by two men in a McDonald’s parking lot where they offered to sell her an iPad for $300. She only had $180, but they gave it to her anyway. When she got home, she found out it was really just a block of wood with an Apple logo painted on the back.
But it’s sort of an amazing block of wood. This...

So... I May Be Influencing My Mom In A Good Way
So, let me preface this by saying I am completely open about my sexuality and my love of sex. My mom, dad, brothers, and sisters all know about it, and it’s something I refuse to be ashamed of. (Though the little ones understand it as my being ‘girl crazy’)
Watching my kid brother’s football game, a rather attractive young woman happened to walk by, and my head naturally...
TMI Tuesday!
Today, I put my foot down. I refuse to answer your questions, regardless of their cleverness or vulgarity. It may be TMI Tuesday, but I refuse to accept that I must answer the questions of you nosy honkies!
Deal with it, crackers.
MWAHAHAHAHAHA!

It may have been a bad idea to watch [REC] 2 right before bedtime.
Nightmares, here we come.

Patients Held At Gunpoint In Michigan Medical... →
What a fucking barbarian. To force cancer patients and elderly people to the ground at gunpoint and drag them out of a dispensary just because they happened to be exercising their rights? (voter-approved at that)
This is disgusting. I hope the son of a bitch gets mouth cancer.

I Don't Know Why I'm Doing This, Except I Doubt...
blogvader asked:
I fail to see why any belief that is not founded in scientific evidence should demand unquestioned respect. Beliefs should be grounded in observable and replicable evidence, not factless traditions. I should also add that atheists would have quite a bit more respect for religion if religious people did not demand that their senseless beliefs be codified into law that...

Glenn Beck: Hurricane Irene is a 'blessing' – CNN... →
I realize it’s no secret that Glenn Beck is a scumbag, but seriously… what a scumbag. Further, wouldn’t it be expected of an omnipotent god who is all-good to communicate in a manner that doesn’t require natural disasters?
Per CNN:
Conservative radio host Glenn Beck told listeners Friday that Hurricane Irene, the Category 1 storm that’s working its deadly way up the...

Only 15 Americans Died From Terrorism Last Year —... →
And, most Americans are still afraid of their own shadow. It really is past time that we demilitarize the bloated complex we’ve constructed to fight these boogeymen that don’t exist, dismantle our gulag in Guantanamo Bay, and start acting like the moral authority we falsely claim to be.
That, and teach people that walking outside during storms is ill-advised, as well as attempting to...

To the verse above, I say: horseshit.
And here, I thought I had all of the people who mindlessly repeat such drivel on my Facebook hide list. (Hopefully now I do.)
Alas.
While I’ve been working out at night, I’ve been watching the evening news. These days, it is a singularly depressing prospect, largely because of daily reports on the famine in Somalia, the war in Libya (Which...

Congressman bans cameras, cops commit armed... →
Paul Ryan’s not the only scumbag Republican getting in on the camera banning fun. Rep. Steve Chabot not only banned cameras (illegally) at his town hall meeting, but coerced police into illegally searching and seizing peoples’ property.
I suppose he should get an iota of credit for having a town hall meeting at all, as roughly half of Republicans are too scared to do so in the wake...

Rick Perry goes blank defending Texas’ failed... →
Watch that moronic piece of garbage stutter trying to defend a clearly failed and wasteful government program, all to ingratiate himself to the equally moronic religious fuckwits in Texas.
Per Americablog:
Here’s a TV interview with Governor (and now 2012 Republican candidate) Rick Perry and a reporter from the Texas Tribune. It’s a classic, old style, black-screen-and-ferns...

Paul Ryan's Office Locks Doors, Bans Cameras,... →
Locking his office? Blocking parking? Making people pay for access? Oh, and he banned cameras too.
This is a man that Republicans called courageous not two months ago. Looks to me like he’s just another cowardly politician who wants zero accountability for the votes he makes. (Not to mention his shitty and downright destructive ideas.)
Per Alternet:
Afraid of the protesters he would ...

abaldwin360:
Why do people who constantly deny scientific data always demand that they be respected?
Of course you aren’t going to be respected, just in the same way your opinion wouldn’t be respected if a 1968 Dodge Charger was sitting right in front of you and you kept insisting it was a 1968 Camaro because…
