Way. I mean, WAY too awesome.

That's some serious props. And, as a former employee of Ben and Jerry's, inc. I say...WAY TO GO! Get the full dope here, and that's no reference to the amount of pot I smoked while I scooped ice cream and listened to janis joplin all day before heading to the beach.

Thursday Morning Desk Explosion Blogging

WOOPS! Ya, I told my office manager two weeks ago my desk was broken.

big Eddie loses it, HUGE.

God-Damn! I knew that asshole was unhinged, but this is something else. I tuned in today to see if he would mention my email on the air, because he did the last time I bawled him out for whatever it was he did. He didn't mention my tirade. Oh well, next time.

Instead, he got an email from a guy talking about the move to XM Radio (? I have no idea), and at the end the emailer mentioned that Sam Seder had told his listeners to call or email XM to complain about Big Eddie being added to the lineup.

Well.

Big Eddie lost his friggin mind. He's been screaming for a solid hour about Air America and how much they suck, and their programming sucks, and he's been telling listeners to call or email XM and complain about XM having Air America shows on it. He's been screaming at any and all callers like he's a rabid dog. Well, someone ought to put Ol' Yeller out of his misery. My god.

The Marcotte Marches On

Well, posting can't be done at Pandagon, but this is priceless. Yay, Amanda! Thanks for coming out swinging.

My favorite part:

"As I told some close friends in the days that Donohue was on the news, spraying code words about "get the feminists" (which explains why he roped Shakespeare's Sister into this, even though she really had nothing to do with any of this---except she's pro-equality, which is what is really what offends Donohue and all the people who gave that anti-Semite airtime), a good half of my hate mail could be summed up, "You have a pottymouth, you stupid cunt." An example, from Paul Bernard of Scottsdale, AZ:

i like the way you trash talk i don't particularly want to have sex with you but i would like a blow job."

I hate you because you're bastard people.

"I hate you and your ass face!" is a quote I love to hear them play on the Stephanie Miller Show. I was thinking it today when radio personality, Ed Shultz was complaining about the Anna Nicole coverage on the news. He said some things about the lack of coverage of the real issues such as the Iraq War. He also said that there were three soldiers that died the same day as Anna Nicole, and nobody heard a word about them. Well, he's right.
So, a normal person's response to the excessive coverage of a starlet's death? Call her a Whore. Again and Again. No? Well that's what Ed's been doing since she died. His question of the day was: "What is the definition of a Whore?" Well, how about this, Ed? What's the definition of an asshole? Well, that would be you.
Before I turned off his show he was heard to say,"What is Anna Nicole? A Dead Whore, that's what she is. She's a Dead Whore, just like Wilt Chamberlain." In true "bubba" fashion he tried to use the old excuse that if he says it about a man too, then it's all right. Well, Ed, it's NOT all right, and you're a sexist asshole with no compassion and no heart. I knew you were stupid before. This only cemented your place as the biggest asshole on the radio. I thought you sounded like Druggie Limbaugh anyway. I have plenty of CD's to listen to instead of you.

Death Penalty? No! (And most people will agree with me.)

There's a great article in Slate that talks about recent polls in the US showing fewer people than ever support the death penalty. Perhaps it's because of the inhumane methods of killing, and maybe it's because of the hundreds of innocent people who have been wrongly sentenced. I had a friend who worked with the Innocence Project, and hearing those stories put chills down my back. I will still support the end of the death penalty for the reasons listed above, as well as because it's really goddamn expensive. It's cheaper to keep people in prison forever, rather than go through the costly appeals process.

Ya know, since they changed my mail-in posting address? Fuckers.

welcome to Gloogler, whether you like it or not.

mother. fuckers.

So we don't even get the choice to stay with the 'old faithful' blogger? Fuck Google. I've got years' worth of my LIFE on this blog, and so they know they've got me by the balls. Fine. But they're going to fucking hear about EVERY single problem I run into. Fucking Nazi Motherfuckers.

great response to Gloogler from Alicublog!

excellent. really excellent.

weekend rant

And people are so shocked and offended when I refuse to "bless" people who sneeze. Who the fuck cares? I'm not going to get struck by lightning because I'm not a sheep who will baa along with the other fucktard fundamentalist evanagelical Christian sheep.
It's all a racket to get money from people. Secondarily, it is a way to keep the powers that be in power and the rest of us in the gutter and under their control.

I should not have to defend myself for being an atheist, but it's constant. I mean, it means I have common sense. I went through all that religious bullshit myself, but more importantly, I GOT OVER IT. I for one am glad for all the bumper stickers and crap that identify the fucktard Christianists. Thank you for giving me fair warning, I say.
I work with a woman who is very Christian, but she's just a nice person in general, and she went down and used up all her vacation helping the people of New Orleans after hurricane Katrina. I feel like the fact that she believes in a sky fairy and that Jesus is magic is just besides the point. I like her as a person, in spite of her Christianity.
I can respect people who are Christians, but only if they don't act like fundamentalist fucktards who want to impose their insanity on my legal status or life.

I have had an abortion and I am unapologetic about it. I will always vote for all women to have that same choice. It saved my life, and anyone who knows what my situation was at the time will agree with you. I'd be dead now if I'd have kept that baby, either from having a bad heart and dying giving birth, or from being killed by the father. Period.

I'm a woman who happily lives with an amazing man without benefit of marriage before the eyes of the invisible sky fairy. There's nothing that we don't have (except insurance, haha) that we're missing out on because god hasn't blessed our union. blecccchhhhh. Anyway, we'll have the insurance too, soon enough. ;)

I take the name of magic Jeebus in vain all the time...and I don't care. I mean, jesus christ! It's just a saying and it doesn't mean shit. Prove to me that any of the so-called bible is true. Really. I watch Discovery! I have listened to Carl Sagan. There's no truth in any of that religious bullshit.

I am also happy to stand up for the rights of others, especially when it is no benefit to me.

Why? Because I want the same when it's my turn. What happens if fucktards decide that women are just baby-machines for the patriarchy? Oh wait. That already happened. In Japan, last week.

I realize it is not to the Christianist's benefit to uphold the rights of others. Intrinsically it is against their betterment to let women and minorities have the same rights as white males. I understand this. I say, TOO FUCKING BAD.

Feminism is the radical notion that women are people too. Christianity works against women and minorities by telling their followers that they were born in sin, or are sinful by nature, or whatever other claptrap they want to make up. I was always told that the "mark of Cain" meant that black people were sinners. WTF???
Yeah. Okay. Psy.....choooooo!

It's more important to treat people humanely, and do the best you can for everyone without being a selfish piece of shit and destroying the world. Fuck the rest of it. Christianity does not equal Morality, or they wouldn't have pedophiles like Mark Foley left in congress for so many years after people found out he was preying on teenagers.

We also wouldn't have so many ministers of evangelical churches trafficking with Meth and gay hookers, now would we??

Hypocritical fucks.

Ok. /rant off.

Have a great weekend!! =) I for one am staying IN. It's freaking COLD out there.

pc feminism bad for women?

Great post at The Gimp Parade about Molly Ivins. One of the quotes made me think.

"There is one area in which I think Paglia and I would agree that politically correct feminism has produced a noticeable inequity. Nowadays, when a woman behaves in a hysterical and disagreeable fashion, we say, 'Poor dear, it's probably PMS.' Whereas, if a man behaves in a hysterical and disagreeable fashion, we say, 'What an asshole.' Let me leap to correct this unfairness by saying of Paglia, Sheesh, what an asshole." [Molly Ivins about Camille Paglia]

More on this later. I just had to get this going before it left me.

Again Steve Nails It.

Steve Gilliard at the The News Blog once again blows me away with his awesome take on this.


I'm so glad. It has been a bug up my ass for the entire day. Biden is such an asshole.

H/T Slant for the pic.

What else is new?

So, big white corporations attempt a land grab from Native Americans in order to make money off natural resources, and they've got the balls to do it while the tribe's elders are in religious seclusion. What a bunch of fucking assholes.
