Be a conservative.

Be a republican.

Vote for Mitt Romney.

Disagree with Obama.

Criticize him. Call him a lousy president.

ALL OF THIS IS FINE.

But all this stuff about how he's a radical racist Muslim Communist dictator who was born in Kenya and who is out to sell us out to terrorists and destroy America with a Marxist agenda and rape the constitution, round up Christians and put them in death camps, and eat your kittens and whatever the hell...

Can we stop this, please? Can you at least, please, talk about the REAL Obama, rather than this fictional character you made up? Clint Eastwood is looking more and more like a metaphor for the extreme right: A crazy person screaming at an empty chair, containing an imaginary Obama he made up in his head.

Even the Republican Convention slogan "We Built That!" was based on something Obama DID NOT SAY. He was talking about how, you have your business but in order for your business to work you have roads, bridges, sidewalks, etc. that people use to get to your business relies on. That's why businesses need to pay taxes to work, because you didn't build THAT ROAD or THAT BRIDGE that someone drove on to get to your store.

HE NEVER SAID THAT YOU DIDN'T BUILD YOUR BUSINESS.

Yet, a response to something that was never said was their convention slogan? Really?

So, be conservative. Be a republican. Disagree with his policies. Be sad he won four more years. Be worried that his policies work all you want to.

But, dislike the REAL Obama, not this ridiculous fake one.

Please?

Oh, this is hilarious.

So, the soap opera "Days of our Lives" has a gay character now. Their message boards on NBC's webpage are full of hilarity.

I'm going to summarize some of the arguments, only I'm going to replace "Gay" with "interracial", "other man" with "black girl" and "homophobe" with "racist."

Let's watch.

"When I saw that interracial kiss on DOOL it made me sick! I have that image in my mind now! Why did they have to have him kiss that (black girl)! It's disgusting!

Oh here come the evil liberals to call me a racist! How dare you call me racist! I'll bet you call everyone who has different opinion a racist! Throwing up when I am forced to see a nice boy kissing a black girl doesn't make me racist!"

Hum... make sense to anyone else?

There was a point when I liked you. There really was. There was a time where I disagreed with you but still saw you as an intelligent, rational human being.

Then I saw your movie.

Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed.

Yes, scientists are "blacklisted" for saying that they believe in intelligent design. Just like a doctor would loose his license to practice medicine if he published a paper advocating drilling holes in people's skulls to let out evil spirits as a cure for bowel cancer.

This is not an infringement of freedom, or persecution of people with certain religious or political beliefs.

Just... GAH.

I had to turn it off.

Well, I'm here, with everything imported.

Hello Komix. I love you, you know that!

Sweet Honey White Bread-bread Machine Recipe

I found this great recipe. I love it!

This is the main things I've been meaning to post about.

We have a new addition to the Family! 5 month old Cocker Spaniel was adopted by us at the humane society about 2 1/2 weeks ago. He's smart, responsive, and learning to be well behaved. My mother and I are madly in love with him. His name is Sherlock.

The precious kitties are still a little unsure as to what to make of the new arrival, but Sherlock shows no signs of wanting to do anything other than play with them.

( Pictures cut for size )

He's been confirmed by the vet to be pure bred cocker. He has a 'roan' coat and one blue eye and one brown eye. All functions normal.

Please bask in his awesomeness.

Democratic Senator Anthony Weiner gets into a sex scandal, and becomes the butt of media jokes. Democrats call him a distraction and ask him to resign. A republican does the same thing? It's the liberal bias of the media making a big deal about the incident because he's a republican!

This will be the downfall of the republican party. Plain and simple.

I don't have a problem with marijuana. I don't smoke it, but other people smoking it doesn't bother me. I know that science has proven that it's no worse for your body than tobacco, and impedes your judgment and behavior significantly LESS than alcohol. I also know that historically the only reason it was made illegal to begin with was because it was poised to threaten the tobacco industry, and the tobacco industry put a lot of money into propaganda and misinformation to get it banned. I also know that if it were legal it could be regulated and would be safer, we would take greater government control over who it was sold to (You think a drug dealer cards people and doesn't sell to minors?) and we could tax it and help our national debt crisis.

That being said, is it ironic that in spite of having that opinion I HATE stoners and stoner "culture"?


When every musical artist you listen to is either Bob Marley or someone else closely associated with pot smoking, when the only magazine you read is "high times" when you have a fucking pot leaf tattoo and every article of clothing you own is either Rastafarian colors, has Bob Marley on it, or has "legalize it" or other pot-related patches crudely stitched to it... when every single online handle you have ends in the numbers 420 and stoner and pot smoker is the cornerstone of your ENTIRE FUCKING IDENTITY....

...you are a douchebag.

And I don't have to have a moral objection to smoking pot to think so.

Have a good day.

I'm not some rabid militant feminist who gets her panties in a wad every time a woman is naked on screen, or every time a woman is portrayed as something less than wonder woman. The "Big Guns Big Tits" comic book world doesn't bug me.

However, I don't think you have to be an easily offended militant feminist to realize that "Sucker Punch" is a highly offensive, highly inappropriate sexist piece of tripe.

It starts with an an attempted rape or a young woman by her step father. Best part? The song "Sweet Dreams are Made of These" and the lyrics "Some of them want to abuse you, some of them want to be abused." playing over and over and over again, on a loop. All ready this is highly insensitive and inappropriate.

Then her stepfather puts her in an asylum. It's clear off the bat that the women in the asylum are being sexually taken advantage of. And our heroine, in a tight fitting short skimpy sexy asylum garb, fulfilling some kind of helpless inmate rape doll fantasy, is lead in schoolgirl pigtails to be victimized.

She then escapes into a fantasy world where she's a stripper and a prostitute.... uh.... ok. She and her friends, all with sexually derogatory names like "Babydoll" and "Sweetpea" and "Blondie" dance almost naked for clients, and are again brutally sexually abused by the pimp/owner.

They try to escape the asylum/whorehouse by escaping into yet another fantasy world, where they are powerful super heroes. If "powerful superheros" means "Putting on a sexy Catholic Schoolgirl fetish stripper outfit and waving weapons around, making sure everyone in the audience gets a look at your panties in the process."

So, not only is the victimization of women sexualized, but the even any kind of female empowerment is only something to be used for a visual sexual thrill. Whether they're victims or "empowered' they're still just sex objects.

Now, for a while I was like "Maybe this is intentional. Maybe this is a kitschy tongue-in-cheek harkback to old time sexual exploitation movies. Maybe he's doing a Russ Meyer "Faster Pussycat, Kill Kill!" kind of homage. There's no way any sentient being can't see that this is in horribly bad taste. Maybe it's bad taste of bad taste's sake. I can be down with that! No such luck.

Even if it wasn't offensive, the "fantasy within a fantasy within a fantasy" thing is trite and contrived at best. The symbolic representations of elements of the real world in the fantasy worlds are barely on a High School English level, the dialogue and acting are a joke, and the spectacular visuals are just fancy window dressing in a turd.

Then I remember that Snyder also turned The Comedian's attempted rape of Sally Jupiter from a one page punch then return then attempted clothing removal to a several minute long sequence of Sally being brutally beaten. And I think, maybe Snyder is just someone who should probably need to register with the police and make the neighborhood sign a piece of paper saying they know he's there whenever he moves.

Seriously... this is messed up.

I found these photos in an Etsy shops. They were too expensive for me (as much as i love them) but I still wanted to download and share. Besides, I'm sure the seller won't mind some publicity. ;)

Upon first glance they don't immediately register as post mortem. However, upon close inspection there is really no doubt that the people are dead. Anyway, I'd heard of people taking post mortems by placing the deceased person in a metal stand and taking the photo as if they were alive and standing up, but I've never seen them before.
