McCain --- a vicious pathetic nasty piece of race-baiting shit that pretends to walk like some sort of a man and keeps telling us how wonderful he is for not having died 40+ years ago when the people he was trying to kill shot him down and captured him....

There are a lot of reasons to call him that --

-- his continual attack ads consisting of nothing more than lies, name-calling, and attitude when he SWORE he wouldn't do negative campaigning

-- continually lying about what he did and what he said only days or weeks before, when the record is there for all to see.

Or, meaning I need to show more compassion, just forgetting he said it.

-- His cheerful statements when he's parroting Obama's points, but rephrased as
"My friends, WE need to do this..."
and
"My friends, WE want to do that..." but never how...

And his self-congratulations for working on very positive bills and then voting against them, and/or campaigning against a particular bill but then taking credit for it when it passes.


But is there anyone who doesn't know that the repeated slam on Obama over and over again as "Arrogant" means"Uppity?"


Does anyone out there not know which N-word traditionally goes with "uppity?"

Difficult as it is to believe, it seems it IS possible to put someone in the Oval Office who's WORSE than W.

And another -- I dunno -- all I could do was buy a copy of the Collected Superman Bizzarro World episodes

"WTF" of the day: Abstinence thong

From Broadsheet

What's that old saying -- fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity? Well, how about ass wagging for virginity?

Imagine this: In the heat of a truly epic make-out session, you peel off clothes until you're down to a thong. But how to make sure that special someone understands the panties aren't coming off until your wedding night? If this is your dilemma, an abstinence thong bearing the slogan "Earn your right to wear white" may be just the answer to your prayers (so to speak).

As head-scratchingly delightful as this product is, its ad copy may be even more fantastic. Take it away, Daily Christian: "Panty-minimalists love our casual thong that covers sweet spots without covering your assets; putting an end to panty-lines. This under-goodie is 'outta sight' in low-rise pants. Toss these message panties onstage at your favorite rock star or share a surprise message with someone special ... later."

Flint, Mich., wants sponsors for police cameras


Jul 28th, 2008 | FLINT, Mich. -- You've heard of adopt-a-highway programs — but how about adopting a police camera?

That's how the city of Flint, Mich., wants to cover the $420,000 cost of adding 14 surveillance cameras. It currently has just one of the cameras.

The city and a private security firm, Asset Protection Specialist, are looking for businesses and individuals willing to pay $30,000 to have their names or corporate logos placed on one of the pole-mounted boxes, which also feature a police shield and a flashing blue light.

So far — no takers.

Information from: The Flint Journal, http://www.mlive.com/flintjournal

------

Right -- watch for it in "COPS" --- the SWAT team leader turns and says, to the camera:

"The arrest and beat down you're about to see has been brought to you by Burger King's camera -- Burger King, where you get treated a lot better than you this perp can expect, and also by Grand Auto, whose camera picked up the perp's license plate -- Grand Auto for all your getaway car needs."

If one of the primary qualifications for a presidential candidate is the amount of time spent in a POW camp, we're breeding a slew of future leaders in Gitmo.

They may say the Taliban thinks it's still the 16th century, but they seem to be more computer literate than John McCain

I guess it's true the world over -- you can always sell a product -- ANY product -- better if you have a catchy jingle.

---------------------------------

KABUL -- The Taliban have created a sophisticated media network to undermine support for the Afghan government, sending threats by text message and spreading the militia's views through songs available as ring tones, according to a report released Thursday...

Many of the messages that have been distributed -- apparently not always directly produced by the Taliban -- come in the form of songs, religious chants and poetry that appeal to Afghan nationalism and Islamic pride.

Some of the tunes are available as ring tones for phones, and cassettes include songs such as Let Me Go to Jihad *, the report said. Some people reported that they kept the cassettes as a form of protection in case they were stopped by Taliban.

One poem — Death is a gift**, on Al Emarah — included the phrase, "I will not kiss the hand of Laura Bush."***

------------------------

* Sung to the tune of Take Me to the River?

-----------

**It definitely might seem that way if you had to live in today's Afghanistan.

-----------

*** Hey -- even a stopped clock is right twice a day. The Taliban is despicable and anathema to everything I believe in, but I have to agree with THAT one specific sentiment, cute as a plush-toy though she may be.

Phyllis Schlafly still thinks married women can't be raped

From Feministing.com by way of Broadsheet
-----------------

Phyllis Schlafly, who is set to receive an honorary degree from Washington University this week has reiterated her support of marital rape...

In an interview with Washington University's student newspaper, Schlafly held her anti-woman ground:

"Could you clarify some of the statements that you made in Maine last year about martial rape?"

"I think that when you get married you have consented to sex. That's what marriage is all about, I don't know if maybe these girls missed sex ed. That doesn't mean the husband can beat you up, we have plenty of laws against assault and battery. If there is any violence or mistreatment that can be dealt with by criminal prosecution, by divorce or in various ways. When it gets down to calling it rape though, it isn't rape, it's a he said-she said where it's just too easy to lie about it.

*****************************

So Phyllis Schlafly STILL doesn't believe marital rape exists... Hmmm, that line may rank with "Y'know, I was just in Hell and Hitler STILL doesn't like Jews," or Y'know Rev Dobson is STILL terrified of Gays," or "George W Bush is STILL terrified of his mother."

Long time ago, I came up with a theory women who are Fundie Theocrats, women who oppose women's reproductive rights or the E.R.A, (the ERA! Wow! -- you can find that one in the Wayback machine -- we haven't heard about THAT for many years), or women who hold the banner of "marital duty" and "obedience to husbands" high, who join their men in defiling gay people's graves and funerals, and etc...

OK, I will grudgingly admit that some may have a sincere religious belief, (not that sincerity makes it any less ridiculous)* I think most espouse those positions because they are intimidated and understandably scared by what they see the men in their community do and what they hear them say, as in the threats they make toward women who ARE arrogant enough to belief they are actually human beings and thereby entitled to make their own decisions about how to live their own lives.

But then, those men seem to live in terror all their lives, and rather than ever have enough courage to confront their own night beasts or examine their own actions and motives, they choose to point fingers and damn well do not accept the possibility that anyone is allowed to NOT be living in constant fear, do not accept anyone saying things like "So what? Why shouldn't a woman have an equal right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness (you flag-waving hypocrite)?" or "What does the relationship between two gay men or two gay women have to do with my marriage?"

Oh no -- lest the lightning bolts fly.

But somewhere, in a parallel universe, perhaps there is a book for those religious fanatics which says, among others things: "Thou shalt not suffer anyone like Phyllis Schlafly to live." **

--- In this universe, we could go so far as to prevent her EVER to be quoted for ANYTHING at all. Just -- as soon as she opens that mouth with the hideous rictus of a smile, go "Shhh" and gently escort her to her warm soft padded room.

I find it hard to believe anyone could be as terrified and miserable as Ms Schlafly, but the compassion I feel does NOT mean letting the likes of her running around loose generating as much hate and hurt as she can with her vicious inanities and sociopathic insanities.

*******************************

* Or as Herman Melville said when accused of making fun of the great lord god almighty: "I would not mock anyone's religion. I would not even mock a colony of ants worshiping a toadstool."

** (I am still resisting making that "Thou shalt not suffer a bitch to live.") And in fact that line about snuffing out witches is characteristic of the last several thousand years of western civilization -- whenever society is stressed and the men get even more scaredy-cat than usual, the result is finding some women to beat up, whether it's burning young woman at a stake or hanging them or drowning them or crushing with stones (hmm, what a coincidence they're so often young sexually attractive women) or throwing things at some 16-year old girl going into a woman's clinic

McCain jokes about killing Iranians

Yeah, well given that his male forebears have been professional killers for Christ and Country going back 10 generations,maybe it's funny to him

*****************************

McCain's Latest Iran Joke


Sen. John McCain hasn't had good luck joking about Iran. But he tried it again Tuesday.

Responding to a question about a survey that shows increased exports to Iran, mainly from cigarettes, McCain said, "Maybe that's a way of killing them."

He quickly caught himself, saying "I meant that as a joke" as his wife, Cindy, poked him in the back.

****************************

Cindy poked him in the back, eh?
Well, having publicly called her a cunt and a trollop, and given that it's HER money keeping him afloat, he was lucky she poked him with her finger and not the barrel of a gun.
