Ted Rall nails it yet again
Ted is the best. Rall for president!
It reminds me of an Onion article I saw a few weeks ago titled, “60 million Americans you’ll never talk to voting for the other guy.”
Evengelicals more likely to have sex younger and more often than “Godless” Americans
This study finds that Evangelical, holier-than-thou, fundamentalists have sex younger, more often and much more likely without protection than pretty much every other demographic in America. Not surpisingly this results in more pregnacies.
The studies conclusion is that in “Blue” America people don’t frown upon premarital, teenage sex and believe that sex-ed should be taught teaching children about their bodies and the dangers, consequences and protections involved with sex. This results in far less teenage pregnacy and rates of sexually transmitted diseases. Meanwhile, “Red” America believes that only absitance should be taught in schools and kids should be kept ignorant of all matters of sex and their bodies becuase sex should only happen in the confines of marriage. It’s funny that the children of Evangelicals find themselves pregnent more often than their “heathen” counter-parts.
The average American pops their cherry at age 17. The average Evangelical at 16. Sarah Palin gave birth to her first child, Track, 7 months and 21 days after she and Todd were married… err, I mean “eloped.”
Sarah “I am Godly” Palin, had premarital sex. She broke God’s law. She is a sinner of the highest order and she raises her children to be sinners just like her. That does not sound like someone I want leading America.
Do your farts smell really bad? Then you’re lowering your blood pressure.
The following video has nothing to do with this story. It’s just a toot in infrared and is fun to watch.
Hydrogen sulfide gas is produced in the cells that line the blood vessels of mice. This gas is what makes farts stink. The gas from farts comes from bacteria breaking down food in our intestines. Our blood does not fart. Instead, the H2S that is produced by the cells in mice (and presumeably in humans as well) relaxes the tissue of the blood vessels allowing them more elasticity and flexibility resulting in lower blood pressure.
When I am older, and and my heart is ready to go, I am going to fart into my IV bag.
Rpublicans finally calling for Ted Stevens’ resignation
On Monday Alaska’s senior senator, the longest serving Republican in the Senate, was found guilty on all seven counts of bribery, failing to report gifts and ethics violations. Now that he is finally guilty, and not just indicted, fellow Republicans are just now calling for his resignation. Way to get on board in the nick of time, half the senate.
Now that Sevens’ seat is too close to call, and that he may go to prison for the rest of his quite numbered days, let’s look back on what a wonderful fellow he has been to America:
There’s more, you get the idea. Ted is evil and a coot. A crazy coot.
Stocks rally on news of more bad news
I have said it before and I will say it again; Harvard Business School is ruining our country. The people that go to, and graduate from, this “hallowed” institution have got to be the dumbest of the dumb. Stocks surged to their second largest one-day gains in history on the news that consumer confidence is at an all-time low and that home prices are 80% of what they were a year ago. Tomorrow I guarantee that the market will be down hundreds yet again, erasing all jovial gains made today, because we have a bunch or scitzos running things.
Home prices have record 17.7% plunge!
The over inflated home prices of the last 20 years are cumbling faster than any investment in recent memory. I heard on NPR not too long ago that Orange County, FL had twice as many homes as there are families (TWICE!!!).
On the Westcoast Stockton is where the housing bubble is most popped. Who would have thought that building tens of thousands of homes in the least desirable part of the country would have been such a bad idea? Stockton is a shithole. Why would anyone pay $400k to live there is beyond me. Then the banks foreclose and are stuck with a POS house in a POS part of the country and guess who now owns that big ol’s POS? We the people! We just paid $850 billion dollars to buy bad ideas in shitholes all across America that are just like Stockton.
The last time I was in Southern California to visit my brother and his family was in April 2007. The Orange County Register (one of the most right wing rags I know of) was congradulating everyone for reaching a median home price of $700,000. “Yay, OC, you did it!”
The problem with this was that the average Orange County resident made around $60,000 per year. that’s $5k per month. The average mortgage was $8k per month. That is bad economics. Period.
Consumer confidence at all-time low
Today the consumer confidence index reached its lowest level ever. Ever! CC is at half of what it was in September. Well, we only have one day until the 79th anniversary of the great depression.
Sarah Palin: as dumb as she is delusional
The Christian Science Monitor is reporting that Sarah Palin is telling McCain’s staffers to “GFYs” because she sees herself as the new leader of the Republican Party. That’s rich. This woman who is under indictment for a serious abuse of power as governor of Alaska; who has an approval rating hovering around 30%; who spent $150k on clothes in two months in an attempt to appeal to blue collar, Wal-Mart shopping “Joe Six-Pack” (yes the depressed alcoholic vote!); is the future of the Republican party? please let this be true!
Palin is a moron. She is a weenie too. She only lasted 3 weeks at UH Hilo. I got my degrees from there. Sure it’s a shithole, and it rains nonstop, but it is a whole lot better than Idaho. What level of intelligence does one have to possess to dream of becoming an ESPN anchor and in order to do so studied journalism and communication and yet doesn’t read the newspaper and can’t get hide her Minnesotan accent that no one else in Alaska has? She can’t even “monkey see, monkey do” like a moderately intelligent human being. I guess Bush did get a degree in History from Yale and probably couldn’t tell you what war his dad was a veteren of. She may be on to something…
I heard a great joke last night:
Q: What’s the difference between Sarah Palin’s mouth and her vagina?
A: Not everything that comes out of her vagina is retarded.
It’s mean. This does not bother me.
How can a woman whose only claim to fame is being cynical choice for VP hope to become president? I am all for it. Palin 2012!
I just knew she was lying: McCain Volunteer lies about being mugged and having “B” carved into her face
She’s just a little bit of dumb, ain’t she?
I read this sad story very late last night about this poor McCain volunteer who was mugged at an ATM and then, when her assailant saw she had a McCain/Palin bumper sticker he lost it, beat her up, and then carved a “B” into her face for some “unknown reason.” My first thought was bullshit.
Of course she claimed her assailant was “some black guy.” Yes, the elusive 6′4″ black guy that mugs people in the most whitebread section of Pennsylvania. It’s always a “black guy” with these Republicans isn’t it? The one time in my life I was mugged it was by white people (and happened last week!)
In my heart I knew she had to be making this up; and then I saw the picture of her black eye and the “B” and was certain she had made the whole thing up. The “B” was backwards as if some idiot, her, had carved it into her face using the reflection in a mirror. Don’t these people ever watch CSI? First of all, don’t claim you were mugged at an ATM. ATMs have cameras and the police said there was no video of her mugging; or of her even using the ATM for that matter. Second, realize that if someone carves a “B” into your face they are not going to do it backwards. Third, the only “Black Guy” in rural Western Pennsylvania is not going to go around mugging people, because everybody is going to know who it is: the only black guy for 50 miles!
Have you ever seen the South Park were Butters gets abducted? His mother who thought she had commited infaticide says it was “some Puerto Rican guy” to avoid going to jail. Very relavent I think. Watch it now because you need to.
San Francisco may legalize prostitution
Voters in San Francisco will vote next month on Proposition K. A measure that, if approved, will legalize prostititution making San Francisco the first major city in the US to do so.
If there is one thing I have never understood is how paying someone to make a porno is legal but paying someone for sex is not. Couldn’t a “John” avoid arrest by a ladycop-sting operation just by bringing along a video camera and a release form?
“I’m not paying for sex, officer. I’m making a movie that has sex in it. Sign here. Cue music… and action!” Problem solved.
Let’s think about what San Francisco is about to do. They are about to become a monopoly on the sex trade in the US. Any city near them is going to clear out of hookers. Oakland, San Jose, Alameda all empty. Brothels will be set up legally resulting in increased tax revinues for the city that had previously been untapped. With taxes comes regulation; thus the the hookers within city limits will have access to screening and healthcare that other sex workers around the country do not have making their trade safer. Also, instead of the police spending their time busting prostitution rings they can instead bust people who commit violent crime and theft making everybody else safer as well.
My thought is this: People are going to pay for sex whether it is legal or not. We might as well make it safe and taxable.
