I’ve had enough . . .

I’ve had enough of the recent politics revolving around my body. I’m sick and tired of hearing the arguments that are week substitutes for the religious arguments. I could no longer sit by and not say anything.

I wrote a post called My Uterus and I have Something to Say and got, of course, a response from someone about how I’m choosing not to obey god. I just can’t take it any more! Here’s an excerpt from what I wrote, but you can read the whole thing here.

Basically, these politicians are doing what they do best: manipulating the truth for their benefit

It meant that Jersey Shore was going to be an iconic part of our generations culture – like it or not. I started watching just to have an awareness of the show. Needless to say, I now religiously watch Jersey Shore every Thursday and have even got my Mom hooked on it.

I’ll be the first to admit there are many times when I’m in extreme disagreement with the ...
