Dismissed!

Things I've been thinking about. Questions I have. Ideas. Random stuff. Kinda liberal. Kinda political. But maybe stuff about my cats, too.

Bachmann is NOT funny. Hurricanes are not God's way of speaking to her
People died. Not politicians that God was trying to get to pay attention. People.
Maybe the hurricane was God's way of telling people like Bachmann to mind their business and stay out of the bedrooms of consenting adults.
Maybe the hurricane was God's way of telling Americans that our stupid presidential contests take too long.
Or maybe, just maybe, it just happened.
Whether it was a joke or not. It wasn't funny.

Imagine if it was Muslims or atheists or whatever instead of Xians in Anoka Hennepin
Shameful. Demanding that everyone adhere to your narrow version of religion is downright shameful.

You know what Santorum? Live with it
You say vile, hateful things about gay people. You think I'm not going to Google your name every chance I get? Wrong.

Idiotic New York clerks
Let's see, if a Muslim clerk refused to marry Christians, would that be a problem? What if a Jewish clerk refused to marry atheists? Or a Baptist clerk refused to marry an Episcopalian and a Presbyterian?
And, one last freakin' time. Civil rights for gays isn't going to F**king lead to civil rights for rocks, pencils, pieces of paper, goats, chickens, DVDs, and so on. None of those can sign a legal agreement and for all you idiots out there a civil marriage (you know, the one that gives you all sorts of fucking rights that a religious marriage does not) is a legal agreement.

Imagine if every job had a pledge
such as ...
I'll never deviate from standards (even if it helps customer service)
I'll never draw outside the lines (what self-respecting school kid would?)
I'll never work overtime (maybe my company doesn't want me to now, but what if circumstances change?)
Good thing politicians sign pledges ...

Happy Birth - I mean Death - Day Elvis
No matter what she does, her followers still love her. God help us if Bachmann is the Republican nominee.

Bachmann camp keeps it classy in Iowa
You know what folks? We're all Americans. You can't just talk to the echo chamber and shoving people? Really?
Oh look. Follks like Michele Bachmann were responsible for the S&P downgrade
No wonder she "knew" it would happen. The tea party will destroy this entire country and all our financial futures in order to destroy the president.
A Standard & Poor’s director said for the first time Thursday that one reason the United States lost its triple-A credit rating was that several lawmakers expressed skepticism about the serious consequences of a credit default — a position put forth by some Republicans.

Orly Taitz stopped being funny a long time ago
From a Honolulu newspaper: http://www.staradvertiser.com/news/breaking/127571568.html
A California lawyer filed a lawsuit in state court this week seeking to review President Obama's long-form birth certificate.
Obama released copies of the certificate on April 27 showing that he was born at what is now known as Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children on Aug. 4, 1961.
Orly Taitz, who is representing herself, said in her lawsuit filed on Wednesday that she questions Obama's legitimacy to be president.
The Attorney General's Office declined to comment, but wrote a letter addressed to Taitz and dated Monday saying she is not entitled to inspect the birth record.
It's cute the way "smaller government" means more control over our lives
Let's see. Government should be out of our lives. We pay too many taxes, we have too much regulation.
But, gosh darn it, we need to regulate the lives of consenting same-sex adults.
Support for marriage equality is not a popular position among those in the 2012 Republican primary field. All of the major candidates oppose it. Former Utah governor Jon Huntsman is the only one to even back civil unions.

Meanwhile Santorum (quick, google him) compares gay marriage to napkins ... or something
"This is a napkin. I can call this napkin a paper towel, but it is a napkin," Santorum declared at the local Hy-Vee grocery store.
"You can it whatever you want but it doesn't change the character of what it is to the metaphysical," he continued. "Now we can call it marriage but doesn't make it marriage," Santorum concluded, shaking the napkin in mid-air.
Santorum's metaphors go beyond paper products. The former senator has also used a water versus beer analogy to make his point. In a video from the Des Moines Register posted on C-SPAN today, Santorum said marriage is like a glass of water, not beer.
"It's like saying this glass of water is a glass of beer. Well, you can call it a glass of beer, but it's not a glass of beer. It's a glass of water. And water is what water is. Marriage is what marriage is," said Santorum , who defines it as a union between a man and woman.
In another appearance Tuesday, Santorum delivered a more muddled message on the issue, reports NBC's Alex Moe. First he told voters, "We can't have 50 marriage laws in this country...it's not equal treatment under the law." But moments later, he said he would not seek to tell states what to do despite his opinion: "I'm against gay marriage but you know I'm not going to tell the states what to do."

Being gay is like picking a favorite ice cream flavor
So says Allen West. Really.
You can't make this shit up.
In a meeting with the Sun-Sentinel's editorial board yesterday -- which was also recorded on video -- West talked about fixing the nation's debt problem, his vote to increase the debt ceiling, the credit rating downgrade, Islam, his spat with Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and of course, the gays.
