Virginia House getting all up in your vagina »
If you don’t want the state mandating unnecessary medical procedures to shame you into keeping an unwanted pregnancy, the time to inform your legislature is now …
Sensible legislators should attempt to amend the bill so that ALL pregnancies must have a government mandated exam… we’ll see how fast it’s rejected.
One Million Moms to JC Penney: fire Ellen, she's gay »
DeGeneres’ daytime talk show has more viewers than the American Family Association has moms.
Between January 16 and January 22, “Ellen” averaged 3.38 million viewers — or 2.38 million more people than the AFA has moms.
The “American Family Association” is a misnomer… it doesn’t represent the American family any more than the Olive Garden represents Italian cuisine. Damn I’m snarky this week… I’ll try to stay positive next week. It’s just that our society is in this schizophrenic cultural battle rooted in a vision of Biblical puritanism (the American Taliban) versus the more progressive secular Jeffersonian vision (the future that becomes Star Trek NG) … and the cultural crusaders perpetually piss me off.

“While U.S. television news outlets have largely ignored the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act during their evening news and opinion programming, they have covered repeatedly and at-length Tim Tebow, Casey Anthony, Kim Kardashian’s divorce, the British Royal Family, and Alec Baldwin being kicked off an airplane.”
Hard to fight this bullshit when all forms of TV news are official “supporters” of killing what you love about the internet. These are the same people that wanted to kill the VCR in the 80s because it gave people too much control of the media they consumed. Now these corporations want to monopolize your net and all congress knows about net technology is that it’s a series of tubes - as parodied in this Daily Show clip. More here.
This Is All Kinds Of Wrong of the Day: Father Nathan Monk of the St. Benedict Orthodox Church took to the podium during the open comment period at last Thursday’s Pensacola City Council meeting to call Council President Sam Hall out for arbitrarily denying speakers with whom he disagreed their right to redress of grievances by ruling them “out of order” and having them removed by force.
In a scene that would make George Orwell blush, Father Monk was himself ruled “out of order” and approached by Police Chief Chip Simmons and two uniformed officers.
The priest stood his ground and refused to leave, calling attention to the fact that he still had over a minute left to speak.
A tense standoff ensued, during which two council members — Sherri Myers and John Jerralds — exited the room to protest Councilman Hall’s unconstitutional ruling.
