Random Internet Hotties....

MMMM. Nothing like a cute, mouth-watering farm boy. This bear would love to forage in that honey pot.

I love the little scruffy five o'clock shadow thing. And the nice chest hair. Nothing worse than manscaping.

Despite the douche bag hand signals, he's a cutie

More douche bag hottness.

John Bolton jokes about nuking Chicago. Idiots Laugh.

You may have heard that the Conservative Political Action Conference was going on this week in Washington. It's an annual gathering of all the right-wing nut jobs in one location.

This year, attendees were treated to a speech by whack-job John Bolton, in which he derided President Obama's "naivete" on foreign policy and terrorism. During the speech, he suggested that we are more likely to suffer a nuclear attack under the Obama administration. He also suggested that a city like, let's see, Chicago could be a target. When he mentioned a potential nuclear attack on Chicago, the entire audience burst out in laughter and applause.

Just like Barry Goldwater in 1964, who suggested sawing off the entire eastern seaboard and letting it float out to sea, these right-wing nutjobs love to pit Americans against Americans, and categorize huge swaths of us (the majority) as "un-American."

Who's the un-American here? You never hear liberals joking about nuking American cities. I can think of a few that wouldn't be a huge loss, starting with Salt Lake City, but I would never joke about it publicly.

These people are evil, hateful, dangerous, and un-American. We need to do everything we can to keep them boxed up in their ratholes and not let them out to play anymore.

Right-wing x-tian nutjob James Dobson is stepping down as chairman of Focus on the Family, the organization he founded many years ago.

Lest you take any joy in this, he will continue to do that hateful radio show, continue to write hateful monthly newsletters, and continue to preach hate on "moral issues."

Please God, there must be some guy out there who has tapped that. There always is. Please, guy who tapped James Dobson, tell your story. Let's get this kook off the public stage once and for all.

President Obama gets me moist....

WOW, what an incredible night! I was so proud of President Obama as he spoke to Congress. The entire evening sent chills down my spine. What an articulate speech. He spelled out our problems, told us what he's going to do about it, and short-circuited any potential criticism of his plan. I love the way he stressed so strongly that those who make less than $250,000 will not see their taxes increase one dime. Of course, the crazy right-wingers are out telling their mindless followers that Obama will raise their taxes.



It was just a great night. I loved that the President told us what we need to hear, not what we want to hear. And apparently, most Americans agree with that. I suspect he's going to be a great president.

"Hey Toto, we’re not in Ponchatoula anymore"...James Carville

While we're on the topic of President Obama's speech, what the FUCK was that GOP response? That was the most embarrassing thing I've seen in a long time. As much as President Obama's speech gave me chills, Jindal's response made my skin crawl. I actually felt bad for the guy.



Jindal's speech shows exactly how irrelevant the GOP is. They just don't get it. They have nothing to offer but platitudes about how great America is, and pulling ourselves up by the bootstraps, while the rich get richer.



If Bobby Jindal is, as described, a brilliant, articulate, rising star in the repug-lican party, then the GOP is in a shitload of trouble.

BREAKING NEWS!!!

State Assemblyman Tom Ammiano (D-San Francisco) has introduced a bill in the state legislature to legalize recreational use of marijuana in California.

Under the law, mary jane would be regulated and TAXED just like alcohol and cigarettes. People over 21 would be allowed to grow, purchase, and possess marijuana for personal use.

California already has a medical marijuana law. I've never lived in a state with so many sick people. Everyone I know has a medical marijuana card. California has also decriminalized possession of small amounts of marijuana for personal use. And San Francisco City Supervisors passed a resolution years ago ordering SFPD to not enforce marijuana possession laws.

Let's hope this bill makes it through, and let's hope Arnold doesn't veto it. It's about time government recognizes marijuana for what it is....a recreational drug that is less harmful than alcohol and certainly less harmful than cigarettes.

In what sounds like something out of Benny Hill, Berkeley has a serial dress lifter on the loose.

The guy has struck 13 times in the last few weeks. He usually targets women walking home from weekend fraternity or sorority parties, and he strikes between 10PM and 3AM.

Police have issued a sketch and a description. He's a white male, 20's or 30's, medium build, short wavy dark hair, and roughly 5'10".

Saw you at the mortuary - m4m - 28 (Long Beach)

Reply to: pers-1038375148@craigslist.org [?]Date: 2009-02-17, 8:34AM PST

You were mourning the loss of a loved one. I was delivery a pizza to the staff of the mortuary. You asked if you could have a bite of my pepperoni. I thought you were talking about my pizza, so I said, "No, it's for the mortician and the embalmer." After leaving the funeral home, I realized what you meant. But it was too late, the funeral had started. I don't know if you'll see this, but if you do, reply with the dimensions of my pizza so I know it is you.

"A man does what he must – in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures – and that is the basis of all human morality.” -- John F. Kennedy, Profiles In Courage

In his book, Profiles In Courage, JFK wrote of 8 Senators who placed their political careers on the line in order to do the right thing. One example is Sam Houston, who, as a Senator, opposed the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854. This act would have allowed slavery to expand into the western states from Iowa to Colorado. Houston felt this act would further divide a nation already close to flying apart at the seams. The Texas Legislature rewarded his courageous act by dismissing him from the Senate. Later on, as Governor of Texas, he opposed secession from the Union, and refused to pledge allegiance to the Confederacy, an action which lead to his removal as Governor.

Today, the JFK Library awards the Profile In Courage Award to public servants, who face great pressure from their parties and constituents for following their conscience. The Library is asking for nominations for the award, and I have enthusiastically nominated California Attorney General Jerry Brown:

"In May 2008, the California Supreme Court ruled that laws forbidding marriage for same sex couples violate the equal protection clauses of the California and US Constitutions. This ruling allowed same sex couples to be married in California. Opponents of same sex marriage subsequently got Proposition 8, which defines marriage as between a man and a woman, on the November ballot. This measure passed by a thin margin and same sex marriage became illegal once again in California. Several lawsuits have been filed to challenge the validity of Proposition 8, and the California Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case in March. It is generally the Attorney General who defends state law. But, in this case, Mr. Brown has refused to defend Proposition 8 in court, citing his belief that Prop 8 violates the principles of equality enshrined in the California Constitution. This is the first time in 40 years that an Attorney General has refused to defend a law in court. For placing his principles and the California Constitution above his personal political ambitions, I nominate California Attorney General Jerry Brown for the JFK Library Profiles In Courage Award."

I encourage everyone to go to the JFK Library website and nominate Jerry Brown for the award. In this day of spineless politicians who tell us what we want to hear instead of what we need to hear, I can't think of anyone more deserving.

if only it were that easy....

LA college student sues over hate speech....

An LA City College student has filed a lawsuit against the school, alleging one of his professors did not allow him to finish a speech against same-sex marriage in class.

Jonathan Lopez claims his professor called him a "facist bastard" for giving the speech. He also alleges the professor told him to "ask God what your grade is" when he inquired about his score for the speech. He also claims the professor threatened to get him expelled should he take it to higher authorities.

The suit is seeking financial damages, and asks the court to strike down the school's code against "offensive speech."

Lopez is being represented by out-of-state Alliance Defense Fund, a x-tian legal group based in Arizona that is closely tied to James Dobson's Focus on the Family organization. This is the group that sued, unsuccessfully, to prevent the names of donors the the Prop H8 campaign released to the public.

OK, first of all, I'm calling bullshit on this. I find it extremely unlikely that a professor would call a student a "facist bastard," refuse to give him his grade, and threaten expulsion for taking it up the chain. In today's litigious society, anyone with any brains knows that something like that would prompt a lawsuit. I'm sure there's more to the story than we're hearing.

Also, isn't it convenient that the x-tian nutjobs are trying to use this as a way to eliminate the school's code that bars hate speech. The x-tian nutjobs love to talk hate. And they hate anything that may call them into account.

Lopez is described as a "Christian who feels it's his religious duty to share his faith with others, particularly other college students." Funny how that works. When they do it, it's called "religious duty." When we try to share our belief in full equality, we're "pushing the gay agenda down everyone's throats." Go figure.

It's not often I come down on the side of the x-tian nutjobs, but here's a case where I do.

I was reading about Jeanne Caldwell from Roseville, California. She is a x-tian schoolteacher who is involved in a court battle with UC-Berkeley over a page on their Understanding Evolution website. She claims one page out of 840 violates the separation of church and state. The lower courts have ruled against her, but she is trying to get it kicked to the Supreme Court.

The page in question is called Misconception: "Evolution and religion are incompatible." It discusses how one doesn't have to exchange faith for evolution, and talks about the various religions that accept evolution, and how thousands of scientists who believe in evolution are devoutly religious, blah blah blah.

When I saw the headline, my initial reaction was "here's another x-tian nutjob causing trouble." But, as I read the story, I realized she was right. UC-Berkeley has no business using tax payer dollars to talk about religion, especially on a website devoted to evolution. If you believe the world was created in 6 days 6,000 years ago, that all of humanity sprang from one couple made out of clay, that snakes spoke, and T-Rex was a domesticated animal, then religion and evolution are absolutely incompatible, and UC-Berkeley has no business saying otherwise. The page should be taken down.

If you're going to rob a bank, here's some advice: a) don't rob the bank where you are already a regular customer, and b) don't leave identification behind.

That's exactly what an idiot did this week. Daudet Muimpe robbed the Bank of America branch on Battery. The problem is, that's where he does his banking regularly, and the teller recognized him. He also left his ATM card behind.

Police arrested him shortly after the robbery.

Another San Francisco Tradition Is Under Attack!!!!

One of the quirky traditions that makes San Francisco, well, San Francisco, is Bay To Breakers, the annual footrace which runs 7 1/2 miles through the city every spring.

The Bay To Breakers was first run in 1912, as a way to blow off some steam, and it has grown into a day like no other. Unlike most races, not too many people actually run. And the organizers have always encouraged a certain amount of creativity from the participants.

Because of the unique nature of Bay To Breakers, it is known for drinking, nudity, quirky costumes, and floats.

Now, it appears the city is trying to do away with this great tradition. They announced this week that drinking, nudity, and floats will not be allowed in this year's Bay To Breakers. They also announced that walkers will have to stay on one side of the street, while runners pass on the other side. That's pretty laughable. Let's turn Bay To Breakers into an airport moving sidewalk.

The reason given for this change of policy after almost 100 years? Apparently some (translation: a few, probably interlopers from out of town) are concerned because of the mess. There was 35 tons of trash left over from last year's race.

So here's another example of a few people trying to turn San Francisco into exactly what it's not: a gentrified, sanitized, yuppie town.




I don't see this "crackdown" as having any life to it, because, fortunately, there is another great San Francisco tradition. That of saying "fuck you" to authority. SFPD has already announced they will not ticket anyone for public nudity. I'm pretty sure all Gavin did was ensure that this year's Bay To Breakers will exhibit more nudity and debauchery and public drunkenness than any in years past. He has thrown down the gauntlet, and the good people of San Francisco will, no doubt, pick it up and run with it, in the nude no less.

This is what the fight to overturn Prop 8 is all about....

As you undoubtedly have heard, the California Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments in the Prop 8 battle on March 5. A three hour hearing has been scheduled at the Supreme Court in San Francisco.

I really hope the justices will do the right thing, and overturn this monstrosity. For me, it's a matter of allowing a simple majority to take away the fundamental rights of a minority. And that's something I do not believe the voters have the right to do.

I am so proud of Attorney General Jerry Brown, who has refused to defend Prop 8 because he believes it violates the California Constitution. He's the first AG in forty years to refuse to defend a state law. The previous time that happened was for the same reason. The AG at the time felt the law in question was unconstitutional.

We've heard all the arguments from the haters about "the will of the people." But, as I've stated in many arguments on the subject, on matters of fundamental rights, the will of the people is not supreme in this land. Don't believe me? I found this great quote from US Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson, who wrote the majority opinion in West Virginia State Board of Education vs Barnette in 1943...

"The very purpose of a Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them beyond the reach of majorities and officials and to establish them as legal principles to be applied by the courts. One's right to life, liberty,and property, to free speech, a free press, freedom of worship and assembly, and other fundamental rights may not be submitted to vote; they depend on the outcome of no elections."

That, to me, sums up what this fight is all about. Do the people have the right to vote away the rights of a minority? The answer is a resounding "NO." A "fundamental right" is beyond the reach of voters or legislation.

The US Supreme Court ruled in Loving vs Virginia that marriage is a fundamental right. The exact quote is "Marriage is one of the "basic civil rights of man," fundamental to our very existence and survival.." The California Supreme Court ruled in May 2008 that marriage for same-sex couples is a fundamental right, and that denying it by law violated the equal protection clause of the Constitution.....the exact argument of the US Supreme Court under Loving vs Virginia.

If marriage is a fundamental right for same-sex couples, as has already been ruled by the California Supreme Court, how can they not rule against Prop 8? The California Supreme Court has thrown out initiatives that violated the Constitution in the past, despite overwhelming voter support of the same. Let's hope they have the courage to throw out Prop 8, which passed by the thinest of margins, for the same reason.

Help, I found my 17 year old son breastfeeding his porcelain doll (san francisco)

Reply to: pers-1030073289@craigslist.org [?]Date: 2009-02-11, 1:42AM PST

I have a wonderful son named Jimmy who just turned 17 this past August. For his birthday, I got him a beautiful hand-painted porcelain doll from JC Penney's that he named Patricia. He's been collecting these porcelain dolls since he was 9 or 10. This last doll nearly cost me an arm and a leg though, so I told Jimmy that he can't play with it like he plays with his other dolls, and that Patricia had to stay on the shelf. Anyway, last night after I got back home from Costco, I walked into my son's room and caught him trying to breastfeed his new doll. My first thought was that how wonderful of a dad Jimmy is going to be! But then I saw that the paint on the doll's lips and mouth became chipped and came off. I am afraid he's ruined the porcelain and the paint. Is there a paint I can use that's good for porcelain? Should I try and fix the doll or take it back to JC Penneys? The doll was expensive and this made me very upset. What's more, is that he was wearing my new bra I got from Lane Bryant and he stretched it out.

Born Again American.....it's not what you think

Recently, my cable company, which doesn't carry LOGO, was bought out by Comcast, which I believe does carry LOGO. I must find out if LOGO is available to me, or when it will be.

The reason it's important is because I just heard of this show called Ru Paul's Drag Race. I'm sure this is old news to all you peninsula queens, but it's the first I've heard of it. It's the typical reality type show. Groups of people competing for prizes, people getting kicked off, blah blah blah. But with this show it's drag queens.

I normally loathe reality type shows. But, damn, this sounds like something that would hold my attention.

is he or isn't he.....

I'm trying to decide if this guy I know is family. Certainly every time I see him, my gaydar goes off like crazy. But he has a girlfriend. I've never met her, mind you. Just heard of her. "Girlfriends" tend to screw up the 'dar like geese getting sucked into an airplane engine. I'm just not sure. Is he in the "let's flip pronouns" phase? Say "her" instead of "him?" It's no skin off my nose. Just drives me a little crazy. Cause my gaydar is usually pretty accurate. So this weekend he and his "girlfriend" went out of town. For the first time, he mentioned her name...."Val and I are going to LA this weekend." WHAT THE FUCK! An adrogynous name! I'm no closer to solving this mystery than before.

Hot guy at #4 bus stop - m4m (financial district)

Reply to: pers-1029231698@craigslist.org [?]
Date: 2009-02-10, 11:57AM PST

Dear flushed gregarious fellow (and friend), I apologize for smiling in relief as I finally exited the #4 bus this morning. (I would have taken the #2 but it arrived late and full). I also apologize for not staying to continue our unilateral discussion on how you felt my female companion was an "ugly" "cunt". Please also convey my regrets to your female consort who agreed vociferously with your sentiments. Thank you for your unsolicited escort for the next half-block and for waving your hand directly in front of my face. (I recently had eye surgery so I'm especially fond of having grubby strangers thrust objects into my near vision). I also appreciate having my sexual tendencies called into question on my way to work. (I find publicly provoked self-examination to be an important and worthwhile pursuit, especially early in the morning). Please accept my deepest gratitude for getting my day off to a wonderful start. I would be happy to continue our discourse at a future date. Hail me in the street at your convenience.

Kind regards,

Guy you abused for no good reason as he was getting of the bus and going to work with his girlfriend

Indulgences are making a comeback!

According to crapolic teaching, even after you are forgiven during confession and absolution, you are still punished for your sins after death. You have to spend time in Purgatory before entering Heaven. Of course this crap is absolute rubbish, with absolutely no basis in scripture. Like most crapolic dogma, it is made up out of the fantasies of a pope's mind. Remember, he's infallible. He's the voice of God on Earth. If he told everyone to go jump off a bridge, they would have to comply.

Enter the indulgence. It's kind of a "get out of jail free" card for the afterlife. With an indulgence, the punishment for the sin for which you've already been forgiven is wiped away. That reduces your time in Purgatory, but doesn't eliminate it. Because one indulgence only works for one sin. In order to completely avoid Purgatory, you would need an indulgence for every single sin you've ever committed, and that would be hard to come by.

There's plenty of room for abuse of indulgences. Back in the day, priests used to sell indulgences, and made a lot of money doing so. Let's say you're planning on killing someone. Hey, you just go buy an indulgence before the act and you're home free. This abuse is what prompted Martin Luther to nail his 95 theses to the church door in Wittenberg and set off the firestorm of Reformation.

Indulgences fell out of favor over the years. Selling them was banned by the church in the 1500's. Instead of payment, someone seeking an indulgence must perform some act like community service, etc. The practice was pretty much eliminated by the Vatican Council in the early 60's. You know, the same council where they decided to hold mass in a language the congregants could actually understand, instead of Latin.

Now, Pope Bendurdick is bringing them back. Mr. Nasty ex-Nazi has decided that indulgences are a good thing. The underlying motive, of course, is power. Because if you're actually stupid enough to think that the crapolic church can mitigate your time in Purgatory (a place that doesn't exist), then you're going to do everything you can to stay in their good graces.

And these people teamed up with the morons from Utah to take away my rights in California? God that pisses me off.

coming out of the closet.....

After much soul searching, I've made a decision. I'm going to come out of the closet about something. It's something I've struggled with for years. I'm not proud of it. In fact, it's something I really don't like about myself. I've never admitted this to anyone, until now.

I hate x-tians. I don't want to be this way. I'm very uncomfortable with it. The real Jesus tells me to love my enemies. The real Jesus tells me that when someone strikes me on the cheek, I should offer them the other cheek (NO NOT THOSE CHEEKS).

I've ridiculed them and fought against them, but I've never actually admitted I hate them, until now. This admission is prompted by the American Family Association email I spoke about in my previous post. Because, on the same page as Newt Gingrich's whining about discrimination against Christians, there is an ad for a video called "It's Not Gay. Former Homosexuals Tell A Story Few Have Heard." For 15 bucks, you can satisfy the x-tian obsession with gay sex. I'm sure it's full of lurid tales of public restroom sex, fisting, disease. and God knows what else. I'm also sure the typical x-tian will watch it with a raging hardon.

I hate x-tians because they have perverted the beautiful message of Jesus, just as much as the Islamic fundamentalists have perverted the message of Islam. There's no doubt in my mind that, given the chance, these American Talibanists would want a theocracy, ruled according to their principles. A nation where religion is force-fed on the population, a nation where gays and lesbians were forced underground or face imprisonment, or worse.

For years, I have sat back and listened to the leaders of the American Talibanists spew all sorts of hatred out towards the gay community. They actively seek to discriminate against us, while they want to make sure their rights are supreme. Any attempt at separating religion from state is seen as "discrimination." Any attempt at granting any sense of dignity to the gay community is met with boycotts, email campaigns, etc.

Fred Phelps is the poster boy of the American Talibanists. Oh, they'll condemn his actions, and say they don't agree with him. But, in their hearts, they are marching lockstep with Phelps. They agree with the message that God hates fags. And, as much as I hate to admit it, I hate them back.

I don't know how this happened, but I have somehow landed on an email list of the American Family Association of Tupelo, Mississippi, an extremist American Taliban group. Despite several requests to be taken off the list, I'm still there. That means I receive periodic updates of everything America is doing to persecute x-tians.

Today, I received an urgent alert about a call to action from Newt Gingrich (yeah he's a good role model for "family values.") Apparently Gingrich is in a snit because the economic stimulus package "discriminates against Christians." How could that be? Well, according to Gingrich, the stimulus package specifies that no funds may be used by universities to construct or rehab buildings where religious instruction or worship takes place. It doesn't deny funds to church related universities. They can use the money all they want for building classrooms, dorms, phys ed facilities, and the like. They just can't build chapels or classrooms for religious instruction.

OH MY GOD! The government under President Obama is actually honoring the separation of church and state principle set down by Jefferson, Washington, Franklin, Adams, et al. And the poor x-tians are squealing like stuck pigs.

TOO FUCKING BAD! I'm glad my tax dollars are not going to help you spread your myths, superstitions, and hatred against your fellow man. It's how it should be.

Interesting Newsweek article about Gavin Newsom, and his political aspirations beyond San Francisco City Hall. You can read the full article here.

I found it a pretty interesting history, as well as fair assessments of Gavin's strengths and weaknesses if he runs for statewide office, which seems to be in the cards. I'm pretty sure his act won't play in Peoria. I have a hard time believing it will play in California, outside of San Francisco.

I wasn't quite sure how to take the several references to San Francisco's well-known demographics. Comments like "well connected white, straight men are hard to find." I would say those kinds of comments are generalizing and stereotyping, if they weren't so damn true.

Well I am sure enjoying this season of Battlestar Galactica a hell of a lot more than the last one. I think the show went off the rails last year. Too much interpersonal relationship crap. Too much philosophy. I don't watch sci-fi for that.

If you haven't caught any of this season yet, you might want to look away now.

BG is going out in style with this last season. The fleet has found Earth, only to discover a nuked wasteland. Then they discovered the inhabitants of Earth, the 13th tribe, were Cylons. The four Galactica Cylons have visions that they lived on Cylon Earth, and were there when the nukes started dropping. Starbuck has found her dead body in a wrecked fighter. Is she Cylon? Or isn't she? And, my favorite gay on the show, Felix Gaeta....

has teamed up with Tom Zarek to lead a coup to oust Adama, only to have Adama turn the tables on him. The last we saw poor Felix, he and Zarek were being executed for treason.

Whew! That's a lot of action in only 4 episodes. If last season had been a fraction as good as this one, perhaps there would be more of BG.

I have a suspicion that we're going to find out that it was actually the human 12 tribes who nuked the Cylon Earth 2500 years ago. Wouldn't that be a kick in the ass? As they keep saying on the show, "this has all happened before, and it will happen again."

Freddybear: Twelve hours in dog years maybe.

When I was a kid I loved loved loved Sugar Pops. It was Sugar Pops back then. Not Corn Pops. The "corn" was added later to give the appearance of being more healthful.

As I entered my college years, I discovered that Sugar Pops are not only delicious, they are perfect for taking the edge off the munchies after sparking a doob.

Sugar Pops and I have a long and loving history, so imagine my disappointment when I read today that Kellogg's is dropping Michael Phelps because of that stupid reefer incident in South Carolina. They said Michael didn't fit the Kellogg's image.

Are they crazy???? Half its' customer base is a bunch of stoners. They'll eat cereal, day or night, milk or no milk. Hell, I've seen some stoners put beer in their cereal.

I'm very disappointed in the stupidity of Kellogg's. Of course, I should expect nothing less from a company whose founder believed in daily yogurt enemas and thought masturbation drained one of precious bodily fluids.

Don't you just love airline ads, like this one from Emirates promoting their new non-stop service from San Francisco to Dubai.....

They make it look so wonderful. Large, comfortable seats. Excellent service featuring wine and caviar. Of course, that's only true if you're in one of the 5 first class seats on a 500 seat airliner. For the rest of us, it's this........

I used to love to travel. Especially international. But, I avoid flying like the plague these days. I only travel places where it's close enough to drive. I guess there's only so much sitting crammed in a seat with my knees poking out my eyes while the guy in front of me reclines for 18 hours that I can take.

Shalom and Salam are about to be vaccinated at an Israeli zoo.....

The last couple of days I've been engaged in some heated debate on the SF Chronicle website regarding Prop 8.

Oh, Lord. I am so sick of being lectured on what is "natural" and what is not, by cretins whom evolution should have taken out long ago.

Let's talk about what's "natural."

Nature intended men to be horndogs, and screw anything they can get their hands on. One man/one woman is not natural.

Nature intended humans to have babies at 14 and die at 30. Long life is not natural.

Nature never intended that 6 billion people would populate this planet.

Nature evolved diseases like smallpox and tuberculosis to take us out. Medicinal cures and vaccines are not natural.

Nature never intended us to travel on the sea or in the air, and certainly not into space.

Nature intended us to hunt for our food, not pick it up at McDonald's or the grocery store.

Nature never intended that North America would be populated by Europeans, Africans, and Asians. As far as nature is concerned, the only people who should be living here are the native peoples.

Nature never intended us to wipe out half the species on the planet, and pollute the environment so bad that we may all be in danger of extinction some day.

Come to think about it, there's not anything about our modern world that is natural. So I wish all you folks would just SHUT THE FUCK UP!

the fight for equality moves to Utah......

While marriage equality ain't gonna happen anytime soon in Utah, there is movement to pass legislation to protect gays and lesbians against discrimination in employment, housing, and other areas. And a poll indicates the majority of Utahns support those measures......

WTF?????

A 23 year old man was stopped by Australian customs in Melbourne after disembarking from a flight from Dubai. I suppose they thought they would find a couple of bricks of heroin or something. Instead, they found a live pigeon strapped to each leg.

OK, there are two issues here:

Number 1. What the fuck are you trying to smuggle pigeons into Australia for? They have plenty.

Number 2. What the fuck are you going to do about that leg hair Mister???? Hey, I'm all for nice hairy legs on a hot 20-something year old guy. But, come on! Those legs need some Nair.

awwww.....look at the baby.....

Tom Daschle is out! He has withdrawn his nomination as Secretary of HHS.

Note to President Obama: While this was a colossal fuck up, I applaud your stepping up and taking the blame for this embarrassment. Taking blame is certainly something we haven't heard out of the White House in 8 years. It's quite refreshing. Now, can we PLEASE have no more surprises? Maybe have your staff do a better job of vetting?? Please???

Note to Tom Daschle: STUPID! STUPID! STUPID! What the FUCK were you thinking?? You can't tell me you just forgot to pay that $128,000. It's not like forgetting to pay a parking ticket. We've all done that.

In this day and age, any little embarrassing detail will come out when you're in the public spotlight. Just ask Joe the plumber. And, believe me, $128,000 is not just a LITTLE embarrassing detail. You're not stupid. Or are you??

It's a simple concept, really. If you know there's something that might derail you, DON'T TAKE THE JOB.

not exactly Breakfast at Tiffany's....

it was raining outside so i ran into tiffany's on 5th avenue. that is where i saw you, in a suit holding the hand of a beautiful young woman. you were so handsome and you and your fiance were searching for wedding rings. you saw me looking at you and you began to stare at me as well. eventually you went into the bathroom. i followed you and gave you a blow job in the stall. you went back to your fiance and bought $10000 rings. your dick was huge. don't marry this girl. i want to see you again. you are making a horrible mistake!

OK, what the fuck is it with Obama appointees not paying their taxes?

Nancy Killefer withdrew her nomination to be the first chief performance officer for the federal government after revelations that she failed to pay DC unemployment taxes for household staff (translation: I have an illegal working for me).

Her problems are small compared to the other two Obama appointees with tax issues. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner was late paying $34,000 in income taxes. And HHS Secretary-designate Tom Daschle is on the hot seat for $128,000 in unpaid income taxes.

Get it right guys! The Rush Limbaughs of the world are lurking around just waiting for something to pounce on you for. We've finally got our chance to set things right after 30 years of Reaganism. DON'T FUCK IT UP!

Liar Liar, Sacred Underpants On Fire.....

The Mormon Church lied about its' financial involvement in support of Prop 8. Big shock there.

They have insisted that they only spent about $2,800 on the campaign, mostly for travel expenses. Californians Against Hate didn't buy that, and filed a complaint with the Fair Political Practices Commission, in which they accused the Mormons of not accurately reporting the value of the work they performed (translation: lied) to get Prop 8 passed.

In a new filing with the state, the church admits to having spent close to $200,000 in support of Prop 8. This includes $96,000 for "compensated staff time" for church employees who worked on the campaign. Other expenses include $26,000 for audio/video production (translation: lies) and $20,000 for the use of facilities and equipment at the church's Salt Lake City headquarters.

So, they lied about directly spending a significant amount of money to spread lies about same-sex marriage and it's alleged effect on churches and schools.

What else have they lied about?

It's amazing the random shit that will cross my mind, especially when I'm surfing the net. Tonight, I came across an article about a pet pig, which led me off on a research project on pet pigs. While I would never really consider owning one myself (unless you could guarantee they stay small and cute), they sure are cute little suckers....
