– Democratic women in GA seek a state ban on vasectomies.
This is an actual bill they are proposing to point out the wrongness of the constant stream of abortion restrictions and bans being proposed. Mostly it highlights the hypocrisy of forcing restrictions on women “for the babeez” but not doing...

sprint-please replied to your post: is it odd for a guy to want to play as a woman in an rpg?
I do this all the time. It’s much more fun to play as a female! Video game characters are mostly male anyway and that’s getting tiresome.
This is what I think, too. When I have the choice, I do usually play female because male protagonists have long since gotten old.
I’ve given...

abaldwin360:
As we’ve been noting, corporate profits have made it back to their pre-recession heights (even if corporate tax revenue hasn’t followed suit). In fact, in 2011, corporate profits hit their highest level since 1950. But as Bloomberg News noted today, this hasn’t translated into wage growth or more purchasing power for workers:
Companies are improving margins and generating profits...

– - Newt “I love ALL the women” Gingrich
Obama is such an asshole because he voted to protect the lives of people who are threatened on a daily basis for performing legal medical procedures that literally save people’s lives. The nerve!

– RICK SANTORUM, in a speech delivered in 2008, seeming to “imply that an Obama presidency would be the sign of an impending holy war,” according to the New York Daily News.
And if you still think Santorum was referring to Obama’s environmental policy was he said the President had a “phony theology,”...
Politicalprof: Republicans and "Smaller"... →
politicalprof:
One constantly hears that Republicans are the party of small government while Democrats are the party of big government. And, of course, the person making this claim usually makes it clear that small government is good and big government is bad.
Except, of course, this characterization of the two parties’ positions on government is factual twaddle.
Think about it this way:...

vinegarwilliams:
While Santorum is an unapologetic opponent of public schools, or as he calls them, “government-run schools,” he has no problem making taxpayers cover the tab for his homeschooling. While a U.S. Senator, Santorum moved his family to Virginia but still stuck Pennsylvania taxpayers with the bill for his decision to have his children attend a cyber-school

After the Civil War, you pretty much got shot for having one.
Probably because it’s the symbol of a failed rebellion against the federal government, and the Stars and Bars was a fucking battle flag. It had no political symbolism. It was a battle flag. It meant the person carrying it was going to shoot at you.
It was gone for a long time, and guess when it...

Sandra Bernhard talks to Cenk Uygur of TheYoungTurks.com about Democrats’ apparent willingness to push back against religious groups that want to block insurance coverage of birth control. “This is a whole new level of ignorance that we’ve never seen in this country,” Bernhard says, especially when it comes to the candidate she calls “Sick Rantorum.” She says, “Now we just have ...

The decision to exempt Catholic Universities and Hospitals has now started a slippery slope of organizations that will try and deny contraceptives to not only their employees, but to the students attending those universities. Many students receive health insurance from the universities and colleges that they attend, so opponents of this new regulation would end up taking those...

BRITISH EMPIRE: All right, fine, your stupid embargo worked. We won’t levy any more taxes-
AMERICAN COLONIES: Huzzah! Time to get drunk!
BRITISH EMPIRE: Except on tea.
AMERICAN COLONIES: What?
BRITISH EMPIRE: Get over it, it’s just tea. Seriously, where do you get this idea that you’re special and should never have to pay taxes? We hope that idea doesn’t go on to infect your political discourse centuries from now.
AMERICAN COLONIES: We’re not buying your stupid tea.
BRITISH EMPIRE: Are you being serious right now? What are you going to do, just stop drinking tea?
AMERICAN COLONIES: Yes. We’ll drink coffee.
BRITISH EMPIRE: Do you even know what that is?
AMERICAN COLONIES: No, but we’ve heard it’s good and we’re feeling surly.
BRITISH EMPIRE: Fine, whatever, we don’t even care what you do anymore.
BRITISH EAST INDIA COMPANY: Actually, we are pretty much bankrupt, so you need to make them drink the tea.
BRITISH EMPIRE: Oh, for—just drink the tea.
AMERICAN COLONIES: No.
BRITISH EMPIRE: Do it.
AMERICAN COLONIES: NO.
BRITISH EMPIRE: Drink it.
AMERICAN COLONIES: Fuck you.
BRITISH EMPIRE: Drink it or we’ll punch you in the face.
AMERICAN COLONIES: *Boston Tea Party*
BRITISH EMPIRE: What the hell?
AMERICAN COLONIES: We heard it was Indians.
BRITISH EMPIRE: That’s interesting, because we heard it was a bunch of colonists wearing paint and dressed in costumes that were remarkably similar to what a crowd of drunks who wanted to look like Indians would assemble if the only supplies they had were found in an alley behind a bar.
AMERICAN COLONIES: You get all types in Boston.
