Thank God for term(inator) limits

How do you say "Gee, thanks, you enormous fucking roid-addled douche" in German?

Florida Gov. Charlie Crist made headlines last week when he announced he was leaving the Republican Party and continuing his run for the U.S. Senate as an independent. Now, it appears Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger was among those who encouraged Crist to make the move.

Any doubts I may have had about him being a piece of shit RINO asshole have now been erased. I'm ashamed to have ever voted for the stupid, squishy motherfucking unprincipled fuckface.

Behold! The Grolar Bear!

I think this is God's little reminder that mankind's place on the food chain (absent sufficient fire power) is not the top.

Also the hell is up with SciFi that I don't have a Grolar Bear movie.  It's a *grolar bear*.  The name of it is already awesome.

Exit question - Mutant Grolar Bear v. Mega Shark v. Giant Octopus.  Awesome movie or Awesomest movie?

You know, can stupid people stop screwing things up for me?

As a follow up on Ember's Rage post, I have to say that I do understand why portions of the Religious Right believe that there is a homosexual agenda and that part of that agenda is to criminalize criticism of homosexuality. Why do I say this? Oh, I don't know, maybe it's things like a Christian preacher being arrested for saying that homosexuality is a sin.  Yes, I know that's the UK and the UK doesn't even pretend to have freedom of speech.  But I also know that there are those in the US who claims to speak for All Gays who would like to see the same thing happen here.  There is a de facto if not de jure ban on any type of criticism of homosexuality in the academic setting.  There is legitimate concern that if gay marriage is passed then religious organizations will be brought up on discrimination charges.  There is legitimate concern that religious organizations will be facing financial penalties for not performing gay marriage.  See re Catholic Charities and adoption in Massachusetts.  This is a legitimate concern and one that I share.  I think that there are some on the Right who support gay marriage who do not give those concerns the credit they are due.

I wish I didn't have to say this but I do.  I  think what happened in the UK is an abomination.  I think that those who believe that I am going to hell have every right to tell me so.  The only "gay right" that I want is the right to not have people try to send me to hell for being queer.  Telling me I'm going to hell.  Fair game.  Yelling at me?  Fair game.  Preaching to me?  Fair game.  Because, you see, I want the right to yell back.  And I will be damned if anyone is going to take away my right to state exactly what I think about, oh, say the Westboro freaks.

I do believe that a great deal of the urge to throw me and others like me out of the conservative movement stems from a belief that we're lying when we say that we don't want to impose these kinds of speech restrictions.  The reason I've become more and more outspoken about being queer is to try to counteract those impressions.  I also believe this is part of what's behind the huge fight about GOProud being a stealth leftist organization.  I do not blame the Religious Right for thinking that what I really want is to take away their religious freedom.  There is ample support for such an opinion.  It's disheartening to me to have to stand up and state that I don't believe any such thing over and over and over again when I've tried to make my position clear.  But I'll do it because someone has to stand athwart saying "no". 

So, yeah, I get filled with The Rage at times about the attempts to heave me out of the movement.  But I am even more furious at those who actually are trying to criminalize criticism of homosexuality.  Stop.  Making.  Me.  Look.  Like.  A.  Fascist.  Stop it.  You don't speak for me.  You are wrong.  What you are doing is vile.  Stop.  It.

Flogging the Interstate Commerce clause

This guy makes an interesting argument about the utter absurdity of the Interstate Commerce clause interpretation --> Choking your chicken could potentially fall under Federal purview:

Masturbators often use unguents and lubricants to enhance the experience. Unguents and lubricants are items of commerce, and therefore (by current Court precedent) items of interstate commerce. Masturbation increases the demand for items of commerce, and therefore “materially affects” interstate commerce. The fact that not all masturbators use unguents and/or lubricants is irrelevant — the fact that some do affects commerce.

Furthermore, the whole point of masturbation is to reach sexual climax. Sexual climax is a state in which bodily functions including metabolism are accelerated, and accelerated metabolism increases output of carbon dioxide. It is already firmly established that carbon dioxide is an item of interstate commerce.

Under the popular interpretation, literally anything can fall under the Interstate Commerce clause.

What Would You Expect From Socialized Medicine?

Hey Cancer Patients, and the loved ones of such who endorse Obamacare:

How's this fucking feel? And don't fucking give me the "well, it works in America" line, because we all know that once Obamacare trailerfucks the heatlhcare industry, this will happen here as well.

NHS bosses are refusing to let cancer patients be treated with potentially life-saving technology – endorsed by senior doctors – at a hospital which has just spent £3m on it.

The Mount Vernon cancer hospital in London has become the first NHS hospital to buy a CyberKnife machine, which delivers radiotherapy with pinpoint accuracy. It is better at targeting tumours than conventional radiotherapy, less damaging than surgery and can treat some patients whose conditions would otherwise be untreatable, say leading oncologists.

But the east of England strategic health authority's specialised commissioning group (SCG) has banned NHS patients from its region from being treated with CyberKnife at the Mount Vernon because it is not convinced the robotic radiosurgery system works {trust me, any cancer patient will try anything, no matter how unsure, if it will work-ed}.

As a result, scores of cancer sufferers every year from Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire whose doctors believe they could benefit from CyberKnife treatment will not be able to go there when it becomes operational in September. Only private patients whose insurers agree to pay will have access. The only two CyberKnifes in use in the UK are at private hospitals in Harley Street, London, where patients pay more than £20,000 for a course of treatment.

My take?
more...

Oh, dear God, why?

I'm no expert on advertising or anything, but this seems to me like it would actually drive people away from Six Flags...



Okay, so the "dancing" old man was creepy enough, but then they introduce "Little Six." What is he, exactly? A midget? A child with some sort of terrible genetic disorder? An Imp sent from the bowels of hell to ride roller coasters?

Jeesh.

Thoughts on the Tennessee flooding

I'm assuming the MFM isn't going to be shrieking about the delay in help and how this is Obama's fault and Spike Lee isn't going to accuse Obama of blowing up any dams or levees.  Just a guess.

And Yet, Terrorists Can Have Full Legal Protection

What. The. Fuck? This story is wrong on so many levels, I can't even wrap my arms around it. Look, I am pro life. But I see the big picture politically, and am open to those on my side who are a little less amped to eleven on this issue, so long as they agree with me on taxes, spending, The Constitution, judges, defense, and not being a liberal dickbag.

But this? Over a fucking cleft palette? This  is my Rubicon on abortion. Anybody who supports this shit needs to take their coat and hat with them as they leave my tent. This is fucking murder. This is savagery and cruelty to the nth degree. Being pro choice is one thing. But this? No. Fucking. Way.

The baby - weighing just 11oz - survived the procedure, carried out on Saturday in the Rossano Calabro hospital, but was left by doctors to die.

He was discovered alive the following day – some 20 hours after the operation – by Father Antonio Martello, the hospital chaplain, who had gone to pray beside his body.

He found that the baby, wrapped in a sheet with his umbilical cord still attached, was moving and breathing.

The priest raised the alarm and doctors immediately arranged for the infant to be taken to a specialist neo-natal unit at the neighbouring Cosenza hospital, where he died on Monday morning.

Let me repeat the facts, for those more fluent in assfisting retardation than I am: the baby survived the abortion, but was left to die of natural causes for a full fucking day. A. Full. Fucking. Day. And it still was trying to live, still begging for some succor and comfort that was never going to be afforded it because it was abandoned and left to die. Its cries and whimpers left unanswered. All over a cleft palette. In Italy, a country with the technology to fix that issue.

How fucking sick is that? How fucking sick is the leftist pro abortion lobby, that this sort of shit is deemed a worthy practice? And how fucking savage are the pro abortion folks on the left that they must defend this? What, are you afraid that if this batch of savagery is restricted, your kingdom will collapse? If so, then fuck you. Fuck you with a salt enema laced with hate.

And to think, the Western press gets upset when an adult terrorist is forced to stand for ten minutes.
