High School Dudes Freak Out About Forced Hand-holding

In the give me an effin break category, these high school guys were fighting, so the principal offered them the CHOICE of either (1) being suspended or (2) Holding hands in public for 15 minutes during lunch.  Both of these guys chose to do the hand holding thing.  Now, due to the wussification of America, they are complaining that this made them "uncomfortable".  Duh.  It's a punishment.  Punishments aren't supposed to be pleasant.
What's the reason these guys felt uncomfortable, you might ask?  In part is was that other students called them "gay".  Sounds like the school has a homophobia and gay-bashing problem, but that needs to be surfaced and dealt with, instead of criticizing the action that helped to reveal the issue.

Rick Warren's Purpose: Being a Bloated Windbag

Rick Warren has been tooting his own horn about his _Purpose Drivel Life_ book has been around for ten years now and is just as vacuous and useless as ever.  The only real purpose of the book appears to be to make Warren quite a bit fatter, dumber, and more smug.  Oh, and he FINALLY has stopped wearing the Hawaiian shirts and is dressing up a little more.  But he still doesn't have a clue about his purpose or anybody else's.  His big moronic revelation was supposedly that the purpose of life was to kiss God's holy hole, which is pretty much what religion has always demanded, without evidence that there is even a hole to kiss. But don't worry because Rick Warren is a big enough ahole to substitute for god on Earth.  All self-appointed representatives of God, like Warren, in actual fact have set themselves up as surrogate God to be worshipped. On that score Warren has accomplished his purpose as well, poising himself to overtake the late Jerry Fatwhale as a bloated, finger-wagging, windbag.

Fundy Mormons Still Heed Warren Jeffs from Prison

It is truly pathetic that some people are so brainwashed and weak-minded that they would follow someone like Mitt Romney....erm....I mean Warren Jeffs... in the first place.  It's even more pathetic that these same tiny minds still fear an impotent imposter like Jeffs, even from his prison cell.  Mostly we hear of gang leaders and mafia drug-lords continuing to rule their ill-gotten empires even from prison, but perhaps it is not a far stretch to say that religious cults like these Fundamentalist LDS polygamy freaks, are really not that different from a street gang when you think about it.  They have their own goofy uniforms, and their own crazy language.  More importantly, there are plenty of bonafide thugs in the FLDS who are enforcers for the church.  Plus, like most street thugs, a lot of these guys are cowards.  They love to beat down young teenage girls and have their way with them, but they couldn't handle a fight with a real man (or woman for that matter).  It really is too bad that Jeffs has survived in prison as long as he has, but I suppose that, even if he died, there would just be some new jacka$$ jockeying to succeed him.

Taliban Email Snafu exposes contacts

Taliban religious extremists and technology don't exactly go together.  Take this story of Taliban PR spokesman Qari Ahmedi, who clicked on CC instead of BCC to send out his press release last week, thus publicly broadcasting the names/email addresses of over 400 contacts to everyone who received the email.  Of course, BCC would have hidden the names of the other contacts on his mailing list, some of whom turned out to a provincial governor, a legislator, professors, and journalists.  Of course, most of these people were already quite well-known by even the most incompetent intelligence agencies.  But thanks for helping to make the jobs of even the most keystone of afghan law enforcement agencies that much easier.

Dump Trump Or Boycott Macys

With Thankgiving soon approaching, the Macy' Thanksgiving Parade will be upon us.  However, one thing our country and Macy's should not be Thankful for is the Treasonous Donald Trump who called for "revolution" when Obama was re-elected.  The issue of Trumps criminal liability for his treasonous comments will have to be settled by a court, but it does not require a court of law for Macy's to see what bad citizenship it is for them to maintain a business affiliation with Donald Trump.  Therefore, many are calling for Macy's to end their association with Trump or customers will be forced to cease all business with the store.  It's very simple:  either they dump Trump or we dump them.

Disgusting, Unhealthy Twinkies and Hostess Junk Food Liquidated

In a move sure to sadden the most unhealthy elements of society, Hostess Brands Inc., is asking a bankruptcy court to liquidate its assets, because of an on-going strike and an insufficient number of scabs to run their business.  For everyone else on the planet, including the employees themselves, this was fantastic news, since they don't need an immoral, super-low-wage job like this that poisons children and explodes public health risks for diabetes and cardiovascular disease.  Naturally, Rush Limbaugh and fellow obesity advocates who comprise the majority of the Republican Party expressed their usual outrage (over everything).

Israel & Hamas Prepare for Holy War Again

Israeli is clearly preparing for another invasion of Gaza, in response to Hamas militants who fired hundreds of rockets in tit-for-tat retaliation against earlier Israeli airstrikes.  The cycle of violence between hard-headed Zionists, and equally intractable modern day Philistines has been going on for over 3000 years, with even the Bible documenting such squabbles.  So the idea that this latest effort will "settle things once and for all" is beyond ridiculous, rhetoric aside.

Clueless GOP monday morning QBs on Romney loss

It's really hilarious to see right-wingers offering their clueless commentary on why Romney lost.  First there was Rmoney himself, claiming that Obama bribed minorities, despite the fact that he offered trillions in tax bribes to the upper 1%.  Now disgraced former RNC head Michael Steele has decided to weigh in, obviously smelling blood and thinking he might get his old job back.  But where were his brilliant comments and criticism of Romney's ORCA software to get out the vote *before* the election?  He is apparently only able to predict disasters after they happen, as with many phoney baloney, self-appointed prophets.

Romney complains of minority "gifts", ignores Tax Bribes of GOP

Now Mr. sourgrapes, bonafide LOSER, Mitt Romney is out there furiously making excuses for his poor performance at the polls, despite spending $1 billion of his donor's money in his failed bid to unseat Obama.  The excuse he offers this time really strains credibility and the meaning of the word hypocrisy, because Romney would have us believe that Obama bribed minority voters with goodies from the public coffers.   This is coming from corporate raider Mitt Rmoney, who promised trillions in tax cuts to the 1%.  This, BTW, has been the republican "gift" formula that has worked for them for the last 30 years, as they raided the US treasury and declared, ala former standard bearer Dick Cheney, "You know, Paul, Reagan proved that deficits don't matter. We won the mid-term elections, this is our due."  I guess Romney expects that quote has already disappeared down the memory hole.
The primary difference is that at least Obama's "gifts" actually made it to people other than the super-rich.

Trump Treason and the Bad Hair Republic

Maybe Trump wants to found his own little country where everyone has bad hairpieces like him.  However, in this country when you call for revolution against your government and say that a president who clearly won the election should be prevented from taking office then that is called sedition or treason.  Free speech goes all the way up to incitement of civil war against one's own country and that is where every government in the world says, if you cross that line, then you are a pubic enemy.  Many republicans have loved to walk right on that treasonous line of hating our government and talking about their obsession with guns and gun violence as an imagined solution to any problem.  Naturally, like most trash-talkers they are too chickensh1t to actually carry out their crazy ravings.  We only see the occasional Timothy McVeigh style psycho who takes their nonsense seriously.  But just being ridiculous does not really excuse their behavior, because they are entirely serious about it.  Trump would like to see our current government abolished and replaced by dictatorship as long as, to paraphrase George W. Bush, he is the dictator.  One only has to look at the mindless, monomaniacal management style he displays on _The Apprentice_ to see that Trump is already a dictator in private affairs, and would see nothing whatsoever wrong with being in dictatorial control of the entire United States, if he had the opportunity.
Fortunately, Trump and other billionaires failed to be able to buy their puppet Romney's way into the Whitehouse.  That's why they are now talking about attempting to achieve what they could not do at the voting booth with violent insurrection.  The only thing stopping them is the fact that would certainly lose.

Antichrist Paul Ryan will run for prez in 2016

Antichrist Paul Ryan will return to run for president in 2016 in an attempt to usher in the End Times.  You can count on in.  His Satanic, Ayn Randite minions are bent on destroying this government and replacing it with despotic rule.  BWAHAHA!  At least we have a few years to prepare ourselves.

Mitt Beaten Like an Outsourced Sweatshop Worker

Mitt got beaten so hard by Obama last night that he must have at least momentarily been able to imagine what it would be like to live in one of the overseas sweatshops to which he outsourced overseas.  Mitt made his fortune selling out America and now he is the one who got voted off the island.  Karma is a b1tch, Mitt!  You have finally started to reap what you have sowed.  That's a big change because normally he has just done a hostile takeover of what other people have sown.  I can't say that anyone will miss old Mitt either.  Back to crazy Mormon land for you.

Big Bird to Romney: U Got Cancelled, Beeotch!

Mitt Romney moronically proposed cancelling Big Bird as a way to save money, but last night, voters cancelled Mitt Romney and his campaign of non-stop, shameless lies.   When reached for comment, Big Bird responded, "Look who's cancelled now, Mitt?  You are.  L. O. S. E. R.  That spells you."

Mitt famously proposed cancelling PBS with a straight face and then tried to complain that people weren't being "serious" when they mocked him.  Gee, sounds like YOU shouldn't have BROUGHT IT UP in the FIRST PLACE if you didn't want people to mock it.  How about taking some of that "personal responsibility" you always babble about.  Oh, yeah...that's for other people, not you, eh?  Well good riddance to you then.

Romney Will Lose. 99% Will Win. GOP can GTFO

Even Gov. Christie is kissing Obama a$$.  Republicans can't figure out "why he would do that".  Gee, I'll give you one hint.  Christie knows Obama is going to win.  Duh.  Got it now.  Christie is probably already thinking about what job he wants in the Obama administration.  Christie even refused to do a rally with Romney today.

This nicely demonstrates what even many Republicans concede, which is Romney's impending defeat at the polls.  Only a small, fanatic horde of Tea Party extremists have convinced themselves that Romney is going to miraculously win.  Naturally, when he doesn't they will have to invent all kinds of sinister and dire excuses for how Obama managed to "cheat".  

It will be so gratifying to see the arrogance of republicans who have "GTFO" emblazoned on their bumperstickers, in reference to Obama instead told that they are the ones who now need to GTFO.  After all their smack talking, this is finally something that will at least momentarily shut their blustering pie holes.  Oh how sweet it will be to watch them wandering around for the next week in a deep, dark, depression, unable to fathom how the obvious could happen.  

Perhaps if they even once switched the channel from Fox News or Rush Limbaugh, they might have got a little advance warning.  For example, Nate Silver at fivethirtyeight.com has been predicting at least a 70% chance of Obama winning for months, and has now upped this to 90% odds that Obama will prevail in the electoral college.  In fact, he is predicting that Obama will get over 330 electoral votes.  

Unfortunately, he is still likely to be stuck with a Republican House of Representatives, but hey, he still managed to get Obamacare passed with them in control.  The next term is still likely to be more productive.

Renewable energy would have kept lights on in NYC

Opponents of renewable energy, including Mitt Romney and the Teabagger lunatics he calls his "base", often look like bigger idiots than normal when power goes out, due to various natural disasters.  That is because systems like rooftop solar panels, especially with battery backup, can keep the lights on for those users while the centralized power consumers are plunged into darkness.  Those who have electric cars can potentially even draw power from their cars, which act as giant batteries, and get even more emergency power.  Meanwhile, those who rely on coal-fired power plants to supply them electricity for heating get to enjoy the cold and the dark.

Romney's Mormon Canned Food Obsession

As Hurricane Sandy bears down on the East Coast, Mitt Romney is touting the useless idea that people should be collecting and donating canned food to give to organizations like the Red Cross to help with relief.  This is largely to deflect from Mitt's previously stated position to abolish federal disaster relief acencies like FEMA and his suggestion that the aid given to Katrina victims was "immoral".  The problem is that the Red Cross, among other relief agencies, has already said that they don't want canned food and can't use it.  They can't store it and it is difficult to transport or distribute from place to place.  Also, some of the canned food may already be expired and can do more harm than good, if one is not careful.

But none of this deters Romney, probably because, as a Mormon, they have an obsession with stockpiling huge amounts of canned food, which they believe will help them survive Armageddon.  Of course, the reality is that, in a real crisis, people would probably just shoot the smug little Mormons for their canned food and then it would do no them good anyway.  It's just a scam run by the Mormon church, which tells members that they need to keep a multi-year supply because it creates the illusion that this makes them more prepared than the rest of the populace.

In any event, Sandy might linger for a couple days at most, and many things, such as fruits and vegetables can easily keep for a few days, even without refrigeration.  Besides canned food is NASTY and usually unhealthy, with tons of salt and preservatives, and that is basically why nobody wants to eat the crap, even in an emergency.  It is why many food banks and shelters can't give it away, even to homeless people.  It is why only dimwit Mormons like Romney think that it's the simple-minded quick fix for dealing with any emergency, even though it would really do nothing of any significance to help out.
 

If Obama is "wrong kind of christian", Mitt isn't a Christian at all

Obama's more liberal and progressive faith, represented by membership in the United Church of Christ, might be less traditional than some, but it is nothing nearly as radical as the non-Christian religion known as Mormonism.  Mormon's don't even believe that Jesus is God incarnate, or the only son of God.  They instead believe that he is a "spirit child" of Elohim, but that there were billions of other "spirit children" of this god, including Lucifer.  Imagine the unroar in conservative circles if Barrack Obama said that he thought Jesus and Lucifer were bros?  Yet rightwingers cling to Romney like a false messiah, perhaps because that is exactly what he is.  They have abandoned any pretense that they are anything other than Satan worshippers in disguise.

Flippin Mitt is Full of Shitt

Oh, I know there was great outrage when Obama said what everyone else already thinks, that Flippin' Mitt is a total BSer, which is about like observing that the sky tends to be blue.  However, for those of us who have been tracking this phenomena for far longer than Obama, we have a special term for Mitt's BS.  It is dubbed Mitt Shitt, which is a special substance that is so rank and fetid that merely calling it bullsh*t is like calling the late Kim Jong Il "slightly eccentric".  Let's get real.  Mitt has taken the concept of bullsh1t artistry to an industrial scale.  He could spray coat the QE2 in five minutes flat with it.  His latest, of course is his flip flop trying to imply that he would support subsidies for wind power in Iowa,, where he is sucking hard in the polls.  Of course, in classic Mitt fashion, he doesn't actually say that he would support wind power, but he wants you think that he does, since he is saying it in Iowa where they have a lot of it, and are voting against him due to his backstabbing of former Republican allies like Grassley, who want to support the wind industry that Iowa has created.  

Obama the best hope for science...read it and weep

If you care about science and specifically about the US continuing to lead and innovate in science, then you should vote for Barrack Obama, says Johns Hopkins medical researcher Andy Feinberg.  The article also notes that they attempted to contact the Romney/Ryan campaign for a counter-balanced view, but they refused to comment.  That should tell you something about how much Romney and Ryan care about science.  Ryan in particular has proposed massive cuts to the NIH and other government supported scientific research programs.   Obama has proposed increasing government-supported scientific research to 3% of GDP, which  would build and beef up our long tradition of supporting basic research.  The president has also used reality-based information when dealing with issues such as renewable energy development, climate change, and a host of other politically contentious, scientific hotcakes.  A Romney/Ryan administration would return us to the days of witch hunts against climate scientists, revisions of their reports, and perhaps another ban on government support for embryonic stem cell research, given Ryan's professed belief that a single-celled organism deserves the same rights as a fully-developed human being.  The Bush era limitations on stem cell research allowed many other countries to advance far beyond the US in this crucial area, and future cuts or bans would probably be the death knell of American leadership in science, in general.

God Wills The Rape And the Pregnancy Mourdock Says

Richard Mourdock, by proclaiming that pregnancies from rape are "something that God intended to happen" is saying that God willled the rape as well as the pregnancy.  This is ought to offend religious people, though all the religious nutjobs are rallying to Mourdock, prinicpally because they appear to be too dumb to understand what he said.  It highlights their ignorant lack of understand of their professed religious beliefs and their insincerity in general.  It also proves, once and for all, that anti-abortionists are trying to force religion on other people through the legal system.  Mourdock thinks its God's will that the woman was raped, and he will make sure that the legal system forces her to follow what he believes is God's will.  Osama bin Laden would have been proud of that theocratic viewpoint, though he preferred forcing Islam on people, whereas Mourdock prefers snake-handling, back-woods, bible thumping.

But as theologians are quick to point out, this puts God on the hook for evil. He should have said that the rape was God's punishment for the woman being an evil little slut, or something.  That would have allowed him to blame the victim, who probably had it coming anyway, because she was wearing lipstick or something.  But apparently Mourdock isn't even smart enough to do that, and that's why he is too dumb to deserve to be a senator.

Binder of women is clear discrimination

It is no surprise that there are so few female executives at Bain Capital.  After all, they probably have difficulty running home and cooking dinner and vacuuming the house between meetings, even if Mitt, out of the goodness of his heart, gives them a hall pass to run home so they can do their "womanly duties".

We now know, due to Mitt's inadvertent confession of having "binders full of women", that he keeps separate and unequal lists of job applicants, selected by gender.  This, in itself would skate right on the edge of sexual discrimination.  But what pushes it over the line is that Mitt is clearly saying that he not only had people compile this for him, but that he used these lists to select candidates, instead of interviewing the most qualified people, regardless of gender, and hiring the most qualified people, even if those person's happened to lack a trouser snake.

Why aren't right-wingers screaming about Mitt practicing "reverse discrimination", not to mention "affirmative action"?  Right wingers, like our ever inarticulate former President FlubDub, have complained about how there shouldn't be "quotas" of different types of people that one is forced to hire.  Yet, it sounds like this is precisely the purpose that Romney had for his "binders full of women".   Naturally, there is no outrage from right-wingers, because he is a Republican.

One shudders to think of what hysterical wailing and gnashing of teeth would have instantly ensued in the right-wing media if Obama had admitted to something this stupid and ridiculous.

Escape Mitt's Binder. Vote Obama.

Why the hell does Mitt need a BINDER full of persons all pre-selected on the criteria of *not having dingalings* so that he can occasionally hire one of them?  Most companies have mandatory, yearly training on avoiding sexual harassment and sexual discrimination. It sounds to me though, like big shot Mitt has never had to take any of those.  Those are only for the peons and underlings that serve him.   However, in the real world, for a person to admit that he has a separate binder of hoochie-mamas that he occasionally opens up, when they can't find a man to do the job would surely be something that sexual harassment training would instruct management to avoid.  It sounds, therefore, like Mitt very clearly has separate and unequal views men and women, when it comes to hiring.  In short, it appears that Mitt tipped his hand a bit too much the other day, and basically admitted that he has engaged in overt discrimination, based upon gender.

That is, if he only looked at a "binder" full of women to fill a position then he even engaged in *reverse discrimination* which right-wingers scream about all the time, by refusing to consider male candidates.  Presumably he did not go to male advocacy groups like NO MAAM, with local chapters meeting down at the "nudie bar", to build "binders of men".

That would, after all be *kind of gay* and we know that Mitt believes it is his religious duty to stick it in as many women as he can.  Unfortunately, Mormons cannot legally have more than one "official" wife, but they can have as many "girlfriends" and corporate "sex workers" as they can afford.

Romney's Binders of Bimbos for his Harem

Welcome to the 19th century, ladies.  That's what you will get by voting for Romney.  See Romney is incapable of just hiring a highly qualified person who happens to be female, without even considering that person's gender.  Instead, he needs people to go through and construct BINDERS of WOMEN so that he can leaf these books of NON-MEN, who have the temerity to actually WANT A JOB.  He can then say, "Ooh, that one looks pretty.  I think we'll hire her.  I bet she'd make great coffee and give good BJs too!".  Or better yet, Romney can take all the pictures down to the Mormon Temple and pray over them, and imagine that all of them were his wives.  

Hint to Romney:  You are not supposed to be building your harem.  You are supposed to be hiring people to do work.  Why should you need to have groups pre-select and pre-qualify "multiple "binders" of people, based upon the criteria that they all have vaginas, and then consider "hiring" them to make the "femiNAZIs" happy, as Rush Limbaugh would surely put it.  I know that Feminism is a *terrible* thing if you are a right-winger.  It is, after all, "The RADICAL notion that women are PEOPLE", as the most hated feminist in public office today, Hillary Clinton, famously quipped.  

Mitt also noted that he understand that womenfolk need to have "flexible" schedules so that they can work their butts off for him all day long and then run home and "cook dinner".  It sure is refreshing to know that, out of the goodness of Mitt's inky, black heart, that he will ALLOW women the flexibility to both work a full-time job and then go home and do all the housework, cook the meals, and raise the kids too.  That is pretty WHITE MALE of him, isn't it?!  It sounds like Mitt has never volunteered to cook dinner at his place.  They would probably drum him out of the Mormon church, and the heterosexual man-club for an offense of that magnitude.  

I can just imagine how the interview with Mitt and his Binder women went:

Mitt:  "Hey baby, you wanna work 'under' me?

Binder woman:  "I am highly qualified and have a law degree so *yes* I would like to work *for* this                   company.  

Mitt:  "Oh yeah, what does your husband thing about that, sweetie pie?"

Binder woman:  "I haven't consulted with my husband yet, since this is a preliminary interview".

Mitt:  "But how are you going to make time to run home and cook him dinner and take care of the kids?"

Binder woman: "My husband is a chef and he has a *flexible* schedule."

Mitt:  "I'm sorry, but we're not comfortable with your *kind* here, Mrs. bra-burner.  NEXT!"

666 Antichrist Paul Ryan Waffles on Abortion

Mr. 666 Paul Ryan had to try to pretend that he cares about human life in the Vice Presidential debate, but had to defend formerly pro-choice Mitt Romney who now wants to go against the GOP party platform and allow abortion in the case of rape or to protect the life of the mother.  Now Romney has even gone one better by promising that he doesn't intend to pass any legislation to limit abortion.  Gee, tell that to Paul Ryan who has sponsored 38 anti-abortion bills, including one with Todd Akin that tried to exclude certain types of rape as an exception under which abortion would be permissible.  Of course Ryan wants to outlaw abortion so that his demonic armies of the antichrist can be born through forced impregnations, and they can begin the final battle.  

Furthermore, critics are certainly correct that the rape exception is a loophole big enough to drive an oil tanker through.  All a women would have to say is, "I was raped by some unknown guy.  Now where's my abortion?"  If one says that abortion is A-OK to protect the life of the mother, then it becomes a judgment call on the part of the doctor, because all pregnancies carry some risk of death to the mother.  Furthermore, Once one starts with exceptions it is likely that ever more exceptions will be found.  Why not allow abortion for severe birth defects. There might as well not be a ban...oh wait a minute, there isn't one anyway...it's been perfectly legal for 40 years and Republicans have failed to do anything to significantly curtail it.  Even now, Romney is afraid to take a hard anti-abortion position because his polling numbers tell him that it will probably cost him the election.  So all we are left with is Mr. 666 making empty promises and compromising principles that he doesn't believe in anyway.  

Multiple Choice Mitt Debates Self on Abortion

Mitt has recently been trying to comb his hair more like Reagan, believing that perhaps people will confuse him for the latter.  But if the Gipper were around today, (aside from being extremely old) he would probably say to Mitt, "There you go again".  See Mitt is flip flopping on abortion yet again.  He is saying that he still believes abortion is murder and all, but he wouldn't seek to pass any laws about it, if he were elected president.  The reason Ted Kennedy labelled Mitt "multiple-choice" on abortion is because he has always tried to be on both sides of the issue. When Mitt ran a losing Senatorial campaign against Kennedy, Romney claimed that he was "pro-choice", because "his mother was pro-choice".  But then, when he wanted to run for Governor that wouldn't fly with the GOP, so he decided that he didn't give a rat's a$$ what his mother thought, and declared that he was "pro-life".
But we didn't expect him to hold that position for long, especially with the polls showing that the GOP "War on Women" has been an epic fail.  So Mitt started up his Outsourced Mexican Flip Flop Factory again, and churned out his latest compromise.  He's pro-life, but he promises not to act like it, as long as you vote for him.  I wonder how long he's gonna hold this position.  Probably about as long as it takes a pair of dollar store flip flops to wear out.  In other words, about five minutes.
