Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Do you guys think these are the death throes of a class of people who see the world moving on without them? all of this legislation seems especially weird, to me. Desperate.

Thing is, people can get really dangerous when they are desperate. That's the part I'm worried about.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Uh-huh. Some conservatives think Obama has to be stopped before he destroys the US in his second term. So if Obama does get a second term....

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

What's been really shocking to me over the last couple of days is that a lot of these dudes think you take one pill every time you have sex. They think...

They think that's how birth control works, that all of these "sluts" are taking hundreds of birth control pills every month because they have to take one right before sex.

And they're LEGISLATING this stuff.

I don't understand why they don't know how this works. And people everywhere are HORRIFIED.

It's kind of like, have you ever had an acquaintance that you suspected was sort of a dick, and then you're at a party or something and the person just goes off on a deeply racist/sexist rant, expecting everyone to agree, and you're all just sort of embarrassed for him/her? And you don't know what to do but step away?

It's like this is happening on a grand scale.

Y'all are giving me flashbacks to whatever history class covered the ancient regime. Yikes.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

They think that's how birth control works, that all of these "sluts" are taking hundreds of birth control pills every month because they have to take one right before sex.

Really? They think that? I... really? *BOGGLE*

I have been afraid of assassination attempts since the election. I'm very surprised some loon hasn't made the attempt.

Though I imagine the Secret Service is as aware of the loons as I am.

Allyson,

are you sure they think that or they are playing dumb? That is certainly the implication in the kinds of questions they are asking, but it did not occur to me they actually THOUGHT that. You know, maybe they are that ignorant. They think BC pills work like viagra.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Wait, what? They have to be just saying that for the sound bite (or electrons, whatever). No one can be that stupid.

t edit le nubian and I have the cross-post of incredulity.

Limbaugh thinks that... or is pretending to.

Also, don't google what Limbaugh has said on this subject if you don't want to raise your blood pressure.
