Drunkenatheist

I am following both Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson on Twitter. Come on, if you know me, then you know that I can’t resist some good old-fashioned dyke drama.

PS- Happy 200th post to me!

Want a good indicator of someone’s insanity? Think about the craziest shit you’d believe they’d do.

Yep, that’s what I thought.

I swear, I ought to write haiku about these bad boys:

The funniest? Libertarian party panties.
The most concerning? Wir müssen die juden ausrotten.

I’m just going to assume that some hardcore South Park fans were googling these ones. I hope.

Our newest experiment is mint extract. That’s right, I said it: mint extract. We decided to roll with mint because mint extract is awesome to have on hand for holiday baking (think mint brownies and mint chocolate cookies). Well, that and because we came home from Libertarian Boyfriend’s parents’ house with a gallon sized Ziplock stuffed to the brim with mint leaves. There’s only so many mint juleps you can knock back in one sitting, even if you’re a semi-professional drunk like me.

Unfortunately, our first go at this had to been thrown out, as we were using a bum recipe from the intertubez. (It was basically 1/2 cup vodka to 1/2 cup muddled mint which, for the record, didn’t really sound right to us, but we soldiered on anyway. As predicted, it came out a gloppy mess that was beginning to smell rancid a week in.) This time around, we combined 1 cup muddled mint to vodka in a pint Mason jar. We muddled the mint in the jar, then covered with vodka. Yesterday, I dumped in a touch of extra vodka, just to make sure that everything was completely covered, and it’s basically coming to the very top of the mason jar.

I’m crossing my fingers that this batch will come out well. Let’s hope!

Am I the only one who thinks Bob Barr is the white Chaka Fattah?

Exhibit A:

Congressman Chaka Fattah (D-PA)

Exhibit B:

Former Congressman & 2008 Faux Libertarian Presidential Candidate (R-GA)

Well, lookswise, at least. Because you know as well as I do that Chaka Fattah would be way more fun to party with than Bob Barr. Considering I have it on good authority that all Boob Bob Barr can do is talk about himself in the third person a la Facebook status and stare at The Twins, I’d much rather knock back some pricey bottles of white wine and rip on whitey with Chaka any day.

Is that it started out with me shouting “get me Jesus! No, really, I know him and I need you to get him over here” and ended with hearing a story about a young closet case getting outed by a stoned and drunk Stevie Nicks.

Sometimes my life is such an interesting place.

Now, I’m not saying that our military is made up of Nazis, but I am saying that there is a striking resemblance between the two photos.

Nazi Germany:

The last episode of Stephen Colbert’s USO tour, during which a commander officer thought it would be cutesy to command NCOs to do the Hokey Pokey:

Amirite?

It’s sweaty here and posting videos takes so little brain power. Plus, who doesn’t love Mel Brooks?

Is that this hipster on hipster e-violence has probably netted Chapterhouse Cafe tons more business.

-20 points for the owners/friends of owners for acting like douchebags on the Yelp boards
-20 points for phillygrrl for labeling the owners as hipsters given the Philly related links on the right sidebar of the blog

This is a stalemate of douchebaggery. I’d threaten to not go there just based on the fear of running into self-loathing hipsters who don’t understand humor while being waited on by an owner who hasn’t heard that internet = serious business (cause that’s not old meme or anything), but I also enjoy patronizing overly hipster businesses that will annoy people. And, let’s be honest, it’s not like I have money for much of any consumable crap.

This is a list that I initially created for Livejournal’s original pro-choice community. Since then, it has been slightly modified into the list you see before you. Since I’ve received a rather sizable spike in traffic from Dr. Tiller’s murder yesterday, I felt that it was appropriate to repost this list. If you are pro-choice, please feel free to distribute this information freely, as it is important and I think there are a few things on here that can help those of us in very anti-choice metro areas feel less isolated and unimportant.

1. Become a clinic escort.
2. Submit your positive “abortion story” to I’m Not Sorry.
3. If you are a clinic employee, submit a story to I Am Dr. Tiller.
4. Use social networking sites as a way to, well, network with other pro-choicers and follow other pro-choice news. Twitter, Digg, Delicious, and Facebook are my personal favorites, and all have the ability to network/widely distribute information to like-minded people.
5. Be sure to Blog for Choice.  Every year, pro-choice advocates have organized a widespread blogging campaign called “Blog for Choice Day.” It falls on the anniversary of the landmark Roe v Wade decision (January 22nd, 1973).
6. Get involved with your campus pro-choice or feminist organization(s). If one doesn’t exist, create one.
7. Get involved with your local (non-campus affiliated) women’s groups. If one doesn’t exist, create it.
8. Volunteer! Local clinics often have a variety of regular volunteering opportunities. They range from stuffing envelopes to administrative duties. Bonus: Volunteering for a clinic is a great way to get your foot in the door with non-profit employers!
9. Thank your local abortion providers! National Abortion Provider Appreciation Day is March 10th. Send out postcards to thank clinics, doctors and staff members for staying open despite the dangers they face every day.
10. Thank local businesses as well as large corporations for financially supporting choice! Every so often, various anti-choice organizations will publish “boycott lists,” in which they instruct their supporters to boycott businesses for donating money to the pro-choice movement. Use those lists to your advantage and send out “thank you” notes/emails to all of the businesses listed.
11. Attend pro-choice marches and protests. Although Roe has been legal for over 30 years, we need to remember that reproductive rights are constantly under attack. Attending a pro-choice march or protest is a great way to visibly support choice and help turn media attention to our cause. You might only be one person, but if everyone took that attitude, our cause would fall flat on its face.
12. Organize pro-choice rallies and counter-protests. On October 30th & 31st, 2007, the “Genocide Awareness Project” arrived on Temple’s campus.  I, along with the other main organizer, was able to create a vocal and visible pro-choice presence to counteract “Genocide Awareness Project’s” message.  (This, of course, would not have been possible without the help of many friends and activists on Temple’s campus.)
13. Organize and participate in other pro-choice events! Hold a party for Roe on the 22nd. Organize an informal film screening or movie night. Go to the bar with your friends and talk about choice. Check out events hosted by community non-profit organizations.
14. Sign up for email lists from pro-choice organizations. This is one of the easiest ways to stay informed and in touch with the pro-choice movement.
15. Volunteer for phone banking/letter writing campaigns with your local clinic. Many times, you do not have to be an “official” volunteer with the clinic in order to come help out for a night or two. It’s an easy way to help give back to the movement, takes up one night of your life and is a great way to make new friends who share an interest!
16. Make a zine or a public blog that just openly and frankly discusses abortion. We’ve all heard anti-choice rhetoric that claims abortion “hurts” women. If you realistically and respectfully discuss abortion, you can show other people that abortion is a medical procedure that many women experience.
17. Read and support pro-choice publications. There are a myriad of pro-choice magazines, books and blogs out there. Check out our links section for our favorite sites!
18. Donate to groups that help low-income women afford abortions, such as The National Network of Abortion Funds.
19. See if your local clinic has a “Pledge-a-Picket” program. If not, make a flat donation to them.
20. Donate to Med Students for Choice.  Keeping abortion legal is meaningless unless there are trained OB/GYNs around to perform the procedures.
21. Are you crafty? Artsy? Have a lot of junk lying around? eBay your stuff and donate a portion of the proceeds to a pro-choice group through eBay’s partnership with Missionfish.
22. Contact your local or preferred clinic/non-profit if they aren’t listed through Missionfish. They might not be aware that you can easily donate money via eBay & Missionfish’s partnership.
23. Wear a shirt, patch, bracelet, necklace, lapel pin, button, etc. that puts out a pro-choice message. Don’t have any of this stuff? Make something!
24. Write a letter to the editor. Letters to the editor are a great way to bring an issue into the public eye. Even if your letter receives criticism, it forces people to think about the issue at hand.
25. Visit Vote Smart to see your representatives’ voting records. Although Democrats and Republicans are thought to be strongly pro and anti-choice (respectively), you might be surprised once you view their voting records. Voting records are the best way to find out how your rep really feels about issues that are important to you.
26. Write to and call your representatives and urge them to support reproductive rights. Sometimes, we have to remind our representatives that certain issues are important to us! If your elected officials see that a large portion of their constituency feels strongly about reproductive rights, they will be more inclined to vote for bills we agree with. Click here to locate your Congressperson. Click here to locate your Senator.
27. VOTE! This is the most effective way to voice your support or displeasure with an elected official. Also, did you know that sometimes referendums are placed on the ballot? This means that we are able to play a much larger role in which laws go through and which ones are discarded. Even if you don’t want to vote for elected officials, you can still allow your voice to be heard on referendums.  This is how Proposition 8, California’s anti-marriage equality law, became a law.  And if you really feel like voting is nothing but a real life South Park episode, then you can always….
28. Run for office under a third party.  Third parties are often looking decent candidates interested in running for office.  And while it’s true that you might not have much of a chance in winning a seat, you might also be able to at least stir up some shit.  Get people talking about the issues that are important to you.  If nothing else, it might influence Democratic and Republican candidates into modifying their tactics.
29. Get involved in pro-choice politicians’ campaigns.  This can be as seemingly small as donating $10 to a campaign or as time-consuming as volunteering to canvas for him or her.
30. Find out how your money is being spent. Don’t support anti-choice companies unless it is unavoidable.
31. Freely pass these ideas along. Even if you don’t have the time or money to use any of our suggestions, someone you know might!

I encourage you to pass this ever-growing list of ideas along, and please feel free to add more within the comments. If you’re able to take part in any of these, thank you. If you can’t, please pass them along. This is a time when we need to band together within the movement instead of act like divisive children or post silly “omg I would totally kick his ass!” faux bravado laden rants directed at Tiller’s murderer.
