Mantra of the Day: Never allow the enemy to block you

The AP has a VERY FRIGHTENING article about the evangelical Christian get-out-the-vote movement. These people want Bush back in office, and they want it bad. Don’t believe me? Check out this quote from Thomson, an active member of the Christian Coalition.
“Never allow the enemy to block you. Get around them, run over the top of them, destroy them — whatever you need to do so that God’s word is the word that is being practiced in Congress, town halls and state legislatures.”
Wow. And aren’t those the same people we just gave access to assault weapons?
One of the legislative lobbyists for the Christian Coalition explained: “If you asked people ...

Special Occasion?

I am absolutely obsessed with a new selection of ecards I’ve found, thanks to BUST.com. When a birthday or holiday comes up, or even when you just feel like you’ve been a shitty friend, ecards can be a perfect and convenient way of reaching out to loved ones in the midst of our crazy lives. And I don’t know about you, but I feel like most ecard sites out there, well, suck. BUST cards are a damn good choice to use.
For example, one of my favorites to send to a friend simply says, “You’re the Breast!” I’ll let you check out the pic yourselves! They also have a choice of music you can put with ...

Forced Sterilization and the New Right

For anyone inclined to think that the play-nice, feel-good pretensions of the GOP is a harbinger of a new moderation, check out Dr. Tom Coburn, Republican Senate candidate from Oklahoma.
In 1990, Dr. Coburn saved Angela Plummer’s life, removing a fallopian tube in response to ectopic pregnancy. However, she was “stunned” to learn that he also removed her other fallopian tube. Dr. Coburn claims she gave him oral consent for the procedure. Ms. Plummer has publicly disagreed:
“Dr. Tom Coburn sterilized me without my consent — verbal or written — and I know he’s stating that he got oral consent. That is not true… I’m not up here to smear him. I’m up here because I ...

Kerry & the Good Samaritan

Check out Newsweek’s article It’s About Abortion, Stupid on John Kerry and his supposed inability to make a moral argument.
The article explores Kerry’s lag in the Catholic vote due to his pro-choice platform. A recent Zogby poll found that in key swing states (including Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, & Pennsylvania) Catholic voters are far more likely than the general public to vote to re-elect President Bush. While the article is somewhat obnoxious with quips about how democrats should “stop marginalizing their own pro-life members”, it raises an important discussion about whether Kerry’s campaign is effectively targeting issues that Americans are voting on.
Critiquing the supposed Clintonian legacy of never striking a moral issue, the article notes ...

Scary New Tactics by the Right, Ineffective in Austin

The AP reported today that an Austin Planned Parenthood abortion clinic that had its construction delayed for two months last year after anti-choicers organized a boycott will open on time in November.
Last year anti-choicers targeted local suppliers of building materials and construction workers (including plumbers, air conditioning & dry wall installers) and encouraged/intimidated them not to participate in the construction of the clinic. The boycott stopped construction within six weeks.
But Planned Parenthood fought back! They stepped in and took over as their own general contractor.
What’s so disturbing is that the right is embracing construction boycotts as a new national tactic. Chris Danze, the Texas contractor who organized this boycott, told the AP ...

Transgendered Animation: The Horror!


If you’ve seen the very funny “Shrek 2”, you might all remember that there was a lot of sexual humor present in the movie. And a lot of that sexual humor included transgendered characters. For example, there is an evil bartender with a five o’clock shadow and boobs — the voice being that of talk show host Larry King. Well, it looks like some people are making a stink about these “abnormal” characters in the movie. Sigh.
The Traditional Values Coalition have written a report titled, “A Gender Identity Disorder Goes Mainstream”, where there is discussion of the transgender agenda to deconstruct the biological existence of male and female, using “Shrek 2” as a ...
