This so much this is why your vote matters! Fortunately, you don’t have to give blood anymore. At least not in the U.S., just some of your time. Vote for those whose votes have been suppressed. The polls are open here until 7:00 PM. We completely understand what it feels like here in Texas not […]
Turnout!
Do NOT tell me that your vote doesn’t count. If it didn’t, we wouldn’t be getting automated phone calls from the Republican party every single fucking day to tell us what godless baby-eating commies their opposition is, and “somebody please fear for our children”.Why do you think they do all that gerrymandering? Why did they […]
The Religious Wrong
So Brittany Maynard was diagnosed with terminal, irreversible, and inoperable brain cancer. She suffered increasingly frequent and longer seizures, and increasingly severe head and neck pain, and even stroke-like symptoms. So she made the wholly understandable decision to bypass the otherwise inevitable agony to herself and to her helpless loved ones. She chose to end […]
Telephoned Campaign Propaganda
I just got a recorded phone call saying that Wendy Davis, (Texas’ Democratic candidate for governor) promotes abortion, “at any time, for any reason”, and that she opposes “common-sense” legislation limiting abortions after 20 weeks, “when the fetus would feel excruciating pain”. Obviously this came from the campaign to elect Greg Abbott. I hate when […]
Is Texas doomed to another theocratic governor?
“Texas has been red since dinosaurs roamed the state 6,000 years ago. At least that is what the Texas history books say.” The Daily Show with Jon Stewart has been filming from Austin, TX. this week. After, a clip of the stupid ass things that our elected officials do and say, Stewart made the humorous […]
Talking with Faisal about my previous blog post
Weighing on how progressive liberals treat Islam.
Can’t call it ‘Islamophobia’ anymore
I should thank this speaker, Fahah Ullah Queresh for explaining that we needn’t worry about offending moderate Muslims – because there aren’t any; they all self-identify as unreasonable homophobic misogynists endorsing excessively morbidly violent reactions to what they say are ‘offenses’, but which don’t even count as crimes in civilized society. It’s also important to […]
Scott Lane on the Ra-Men
The summary of tonight’s podcast is that Scott Lane has a son in a Louisiana elementary school -“-where the state government fosters creationism and religious proselytization in schools. One of the test questions asked [something along the lines of] “Isn’t it wonderful what the ______ has done?” Lane’s son couldn’t have guessed that the answer […]
On this date, once upon a time…
I would just like to point out that 52 years ago, on October 15th 1962, my existence was documented in a small Arizona hospital that was later converted into a jail. John Fitzgerald Kennedy was president of what was then the most scientifically advanced country – in world that still had not been to the […]
I wouldn’t say I loved Lucy
I’m doing a movie review AFTER everyone else has seen the damned thing. Can you believe, I couldn’t get anyone in my family to go see Lucy with me? I finally saw it on my own alone at a dollar movie. Why wouldn’t anyone see it with me? Because it wasn’t remotely real. We seem […]
