| Questions for Sarah |
[Sep. 16th, 2008|08:57 am] |
- Suppose your 14-year-old daughter Willow is brutally raped in her bedroom by an intruder. She becomes pregnant and wants an abortion. Could you tell the parents of America why you think your child and their children should be forced by law to have their rapists' babies?
- You say you don't believe global warming is man-made. Could you tell us what scientists you've spoken with or read who have led you to that conclusion? What do you think the 2,500 scientists of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change are getting wrong?
- If you didn't try to fire Wasilla librarian Mary Ellen Baker over her refusal to consider censoring books, why did you try to fire her?
- What is the European Union, and how does it function?
- Forty-seven million Americans lack health insurance. John Goodman, who has advised McCain on healthcare, has proposed redefining them as covered because, he says, anyone can get care at an ER. Do you agree with him?
- What is the function of the Federal Reserve?
- Cindy and John McCain say you have experience in foreign affairs because Alaska is next to Russia. When did you last speak with Prime Minister Putin, and what did you talk about?
- Approximately how old is the earth? Five thousand years? 10,000? 5 billion?
- You are a big fan of President Bush, so why didn't you mention him even once in your convention speech?
- McCain says cutting earmarks and waste will make up for revenues lost by making the tax cuts permanent. Experts say that won't wash. Balancing the Bush tax cuts plus new ones proposed by McCain would most likely mean cutting Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security. Which would you cut?
- You're suing the federal government to have polar bears removed from the endangered species list, even as Alaska's northern coastal ice is melting and falling into the sea. Can you explain the science behind your decision?
- You've suggested that God approves of the Iraq War and the Alaska pipeline. How do you know?

The 17-year-old daughter of Sarah Palin, the GOP's vice-presidential nominee, is pregnant. The news was released by the McCain campaign during a busy news week--a major hurricane, the Republican National Convention, Dick Cheney getting us into a war with Russia--so it may not have received the coverage it deserved. So allow me to bring you up to date, gentle readers . . .
Seventeen-year-old Bristol Palin got her ass knocked up five or so months ago by 18-year-old Levi Johnston. Among the hobbies listed on Levi's since-yanked MySpace page--"fishing, shoot some shit, and just fuckin' chillin' "--was this revealing tidbit: "I don't want kids." But Bristol, says her mom, "made the decision on her own to keep the baby," and is now engaged to Levi "Shootin' Shit" Johnston.
As the adoptive parent of a child born to a pair of unwed teenagers, I'm certainly not in favor of abortion in all circumstances. But I believe that it's a choice teenagers should be able to make for themselves--with input from their families whenever possible--and, so it seems, does the GOP's VP nominee. Sarah Palin is pleased that her daughter "made the decision"--on her own--to keep the baby.
But Sarah Palin doesn't believe that other girls should be able to make their own decisions. Sarah Palin believes that abortion should be illegal in almost every instance--including rape and incest. So Bristol Palin is being celebrated for making a choice that Sarah Palin would like to take away from all other American women. Apparently, today's GOP believes that choice is a special right reserved for the wayward daughters of Republican-elected officials.
Oh, and Sarah Palin also believes that birth control shouldn't be made available to teenagers, she opposes medically accurate sex education, and she backs abstinence-until-marriage sex "education."
Sigh.
The GOP has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into abstinence "education" programs during the Bush years. I believe this enormous investment of public funds begs the obvious question: *Are our children abstaining?* Sarah Palin's isn't. Despite this massive outlay on the part of the American taxpayer *and* the example set by her Christian parents, Bristol Palin became sexually active while still in high school. Excuse me, but if abstinence education can't keep the daughter of the evangelical governor of Alaska off the cock, what hope is there for the daughters--and some of the sons--of average Americans?
I'm a cad for even writing this, of course, because shortly before Bristol and Levi were paraded before cheering throngs at the Republican National Convention, the Palins asked the media to respect their daughter's privacy.
Another special right: When it comes to respecting *your* family's privacy, Palin and the GOP see no need. They want to micro-manage the most intimate aspects of your private life. And if their *own* kids fail to live up to the standards that Palin and the GOP seek to impose on *your* family, well, that's a private matter between the Palins, their daughter, their God, and the thousands of screaming imbeciles in elephant hats waving McCain/Palin signs on the floor of the Republican National Convention.

RNC 8 Charged with "Conspiracy to Riot in Furtherance of Terrorism"
In what appears to be the first use of criminal charges under the 2002 Minnesota version of the Federal Patriot Act, Ramsey County Prosecutors have formally charged 8 alleged leaders of the RNC Welcoming Committee with Conspiracy to Riot in Furtherance of Terrorism. Monica Bicking, Eryn Trimmer, Luce Guillen Givins, Erik Oseland, Nathanael Secor, Robert Czernik, Garrett Fitzgerald, and Max Spector, face up to 7 1/2 years in prison under the terrorism enhancement charge which allows for a 50% increase in the maximum penalty.
If *.indymedia.org isn't a good enough reference for you, try Faux Nooz or CBS.
Maybe I just don't remember -- due to my "blue-colored glasses" -- how many people were arrested at the DNC? How many of them were charged with terrorism? |

I feel compelled to point out two things. maybe a third.
- Governor Palin firmly supports abstinence-only sex education.
- Governor Palin's 17-year-old unmarried daughter is pregnant.
THIS IS HOW ABSTINENCE EDUCATION WORKS. RESULTS IN YOUR OWN HOUSE!
(the schadenfreude from that causes uncontrollable giggling any time I think about it.)
Third thing: Obama could not have picked a worse candidate for McCain. In fact, since Barack is not an asshole, any McCain VP that Obama picked would have been better for McCain.
Palin == Epic Fail |

Quote:
The first lesson in becoming competent at anything is being able to recognize your own incompetency.
So, I am saying this to you, my friends reading this, those I care about:
You are socially retarded.
Now, your first emotional response upon hearing that phrase is likely a defensive one. Quite possibly you are thinking to yourself, "Hey, fuuuuuuck you. What the fuck do you know?"
This is a normal reaction. I'll allow you a moment to work through it. People will not usually tell you when you are fucking up so it is up to you to be open to the possibility that you have a flaw. If you truly are a pragmatist you'll stop for a moment and rethink your history and actions and realize that I'm right. At that point, we can continue the conversation.

People love to hate you, because you love to argue. The strange thing is you probably took that as a compliment. Why, I bet you've already got a witty comeback all lined up ready to throw right back at me.
What you don't realise is that your inane obsession with debating pisses everyone off. Whatever happened to us all trying to get alone? I mean, you're so annoying people disagree with you for the damn sake of it! NOBODY cares about your abundant opinions. Trust me.
Believe it or not, but there's more to life than your expansive knowledge and sharp repertoire. When was the last time you showered? Brushed your teeth?
While you're up in Nevernever land, getting excited over future possibilities and your crazy theories, WE have to put up with your awful stench. I can smell you from here.
Your personality is ideal for that of a future lawyer and because everyone already hates you, you have nothing to lose.

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next three sentences in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.
6. Tag five other people to do the same.
Reaching for my glass without looking, I knocked it skittering across the bar, and leaped to grab it before it could fall into Callahan's lap. I froze for a moment, leaning half-over the bar -- but I've always rather prided myself in being quick on the uptake.
"... on the other hand," I continued calmly, "maybe that's exactly right. Who knows?"
(Well, it was the closest.) |

| New Wii Code |
[Feb. 19th, 2007|05:12 pm] |
So, my Wii got stolen out of my car. :(
I was able to purchase a second one, however. (Yay: New Wii! Boo: Having to purchase a second)
So my new Wii code is: 8796 6756 7495 1529.
I will update my older post to note it's no longer valid.
And if you get a wii-mail from my old number, call the police. (Like, 911. Srsly.) |
