Whether you’re talking to the pro-choicer, the pothead, or the gun enthusiast, all of these people want the government to stay out of their pet issue. Pro-choicers don’t want an abortion to be a two week process any more than the pothead wants buying an ounce of weed to be a two week process or [...]
This post also appeared at Gonzo Times. So, people are understandably pissed over Glenn Beck’s assertion that only hookers need Planned Parenthood. Now, the statement is (obviously) really fucked up for a lot of reasons. I don’t have the time or patience to unpack all of the shitty implications about sex workers from a man [...]
From CNN: Washington (CNN) — Democrats and Republicans narrowly averted a partial shutdown of the federal government Friday night, agreeing on a budget deal and a short-term funding extension little more than an hour before the clock struck midnight and time ran out. The new funding extension, which cuts spending by $2 billion, will last through [...]
Thestar.com: The ‘Israelification’ of Airports: High Security, Little Bother. ‘”Israelis, unlike Canadians and Americans, don’t take s— from anybody.

I’d rather not choose between some expensive, extraneous item that is caustic to my vagina or some unpalatable, unappetizing entree that I wouldn’t even eat if I were high as [...]
“Gridlock is good for the country, no matter who’s president. It keeps spending down, and spending levels over the past two years have been worrisome to a lot of business in the US. So many firms have been worried about how far the federal government has gone in battling the recession that it’ll be a [...]
Irony: it’s not just an overused term by the hipsterly-inclined. Each time I try to make snarky commentary about this screencap, I fall short. The beauty, humor and irony of the Rand Paul for Senate campaign using “statism” as a reason you ought to not vote for his opponent is too fuckin’ hilarious. Yes, Rand, [...]
(Found via @SandiBehrns’ Twitpic account) Sometimes, it’s wonderful to see two consecutive posts come together so easily. As I blogged yesterday, there was a horrifying assault in Kentucky against Lauren Valle – an activist with MoveOn – and several male Rand Paul supporters. At the time of my post, the assailants were stilled unnamed. There [...]
