Head-Spinning Political Shit!
 
I couldnt remember if there was a single thread for this but I'd like for this to be a dumping ground for the absurd political shit we see on an almost daily basis in the news:

For example: Gays and single pregnant women shouldnt teach school according to this dumbass:

I could hear people try to argue that he isnt being homophobic because he didnt attack gays just because we are gay...he attacked us because we werent legally married in a traditional way. He was inclusive to add single women who arent married but are pregnant...

oh but wait Sir...why just the women? What about the male teacher who impregnates someone without benefit of marraige...

Oh, man, you guys. Didn't you know it isn't discrimination because a gay person can still marry someone of the opposite sex and get the same rights as a heterosexual? Ugh. :rolleyes:

I am hesitant to chuckle while I suggest that Christine O'Donnel and Sara Palin should run on the same ticket because the very thought of that isn't all that far-fetched in this political climate (and its enough to make me break out in hives!!)

I always want to write to these people and say, since heterosexual men statistically rape women and molest children in higher numbers than any other group we should just ban all heterosexual men from the classroom.

Ann Coulter was here on Friday night doing a talk...at a fairly decent sized venue. I wondered if they were actually selling any tickets ($50-110?!) :annoyed: because Portland is one of the most liberal cities in the country!

Apparently people traveled from Eastern Oregon to see her :|

Portland and our local entertainment guide do not care for Ann Coulter:

She should have just taken her BS on the road to Eastern Oregon and left Portland out of it!

Paladino's a fucking nut job. His platform seems to be "I'm angry and I have stupid ideas". That's it.
And let's not forget that the repugs killed TANF, effectively firing 240,000 Americans. They want to find jobs for Americans, my ass!

Top 14 Anti-Gay Activists Caught Being Gay

This is more of a recap really

(Many of these people listed were not merely in same-sex interactions but were violative in some way - either taping their sex lives, violating people in their sleep, or going for the under-aged. The other major behavior was paying for sex. I do appreciate the existence of the article but many of these people weren't just "caught being gay" - they were caught being heinous and criminal. I do wish the article differentiated more between the two).

The thought of that is really more than enough for me to start packing my bags, my Loves bags. my kitties belongings and getting the hell outta dodge....

Thats the stuff nightmares are made of....

That big island out in the middle of nowhere is lookin' mighty good to me right now.......

When I taught in Richardson (a Dallas suburb) ~ which is a very fine school district, I might add ~ we always laughed when the idea of firing all the gay teachers came up.....they would have lost about 1/3 of their teachers....their BEST teachers at that.

Alternet ran a really fine story about a small town in Tennessee I believe (please don't quote me) that allowed a man's house to burn down because he had not paid the $75.00 fee for services.


The fire department shows up and checks a list. When they realize that the homeowner whose house is BURNING DOWN did not pay his fee, they allowed his house to burn down. They only got involved in putting out the fire when it began to spread to a neighbor who had paid the fee.

The homeowner was offering the fee on-the-spot but the firefighters were not moved.

Isn't this extortion? Or some other thuggery? Why didn't they put the fire out and then bill the man? Was this a warning to other rural neighbors to pay up or they will get no help or services either?

Literally my head was spinning around backwards reading this.
