Mamas, Don’t Let Your Girl Scouts Grow Up to Work at Planned Parenthood

Posted on February 22, 2012 by | Leave a comment

My Angry Black Readers probably remember this post by ABL about the Satanic, lezzie, whore-making Girl Scouts as imagined by Indiana House Republican, Bob Morris (R-Jackholeville).

Well, I have some good news in the GSA department and some bad news – which would you like first?  Good news?  I would have asked for the bad news first so I could finish up with some good news, but I defer to the wishes of my readers.

The good news comes via Rachel Maddow.  This crazed bullshit by Bob Morris about the Girl Scouts was not appreciated at all.  Even some of his fellow Republicans thought he went too far – including the Speaker of the House Brian Bosma.  Speaker Bosma told his House colleagues that he bought 278 cases of Girl Scout Cookies in a 48-hour period in response to Rep. Morris’s incredibly asinine statements.

Bosma, R-Indianapolis, pointedly offered Girl Scout cookies throughout the day and munched them as he presided over the House.[...]

And when time came for the House to adjourn, he asked all lawmakers who had been Girl Scouts – and seemingly every female legislator stood – to give the daily motion to adjourn.

Virginia GOP backs down: One battle in the War on Women™ won – 12,087 to go.

Posted on February 22, 2012 by | 6 Comments

It turns out that threatening to rape people for having the temerity to ask for a legal surgical procedure is a bridge too far:

House Republican leaders are expected to try to amend a bill on Wednesday that would require women to undergo a [transvaginal] ultrasound before an abortion.

Legislators and governor’s staff met Tuesday night to hash out a compromise that would make the ultrasounds voluntary, but not mandatory, before an abortion, several people with knowledge of the meeting said Wednesday.

But lest you think that this means that the GOP has decided to treat women as full human beings, and our bodily autonomy as a matter of some concern? Read on:

SNL Tackles the Birth Control Shenanigans with “Really!?” and Dana Loesch Stupidly Responds

Posted on February 21, 2012 by | 8 Comments

In case you missed it.

Outstanding:

Ridiculous: Dana Loesch over at “Big Journalism” had her merry band of idiots fact-check Amy Poehler’s comment that “there are too many people” and attempts to disprove the statement by linking to studies demonstrating that birth and fertility rates have declined (as if Amy Poehler was making some sort of political statement about birth rates.)

Really?! Continue reading →

Shorter Franklin Graham: Obama is Probably a Secret Muslim

Posted on February 21, 2012 by | 13 Comments

Play that Funky Music

For the next nine months, we are going to be treated to 2008′s greatest hits. Everything from “Yes Man, He’s My Kenyan,” to “Goddamn America, The Jeremiah Wright Song,” to “Black Genocide, Don’t Do It,” to “Secret Muslims, Yes That’s What We Are” to “Mommas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Liberals Who Abort Babies,” to “My Sharia,” to “Half-Black is Too Black, But Not Black Enough,” to “Hawaii Ain’t No State I Ever Heard Of.”

Today on Morning Joe, Franklin Graham, son of television evangeloon Billy Graham, lifted up his voice and sang the Secret Muslim Song.

Apparently, Baby Graham doesn’t believe President Obama is a Christian, but rather some Christian-Muslim hybrid:

Graham, throughout the interview, repeatedly said he didn’t know if President Obama was a Christian.

“I asked him when he was running… how he came to faith in Christ. He said that he was working in the South Side of Chicago in the community and they asked him — the community — asked him what church he went to, and he said ‘I don’t go to church.’ They said, ‘If you’re going to work in the community, you have to join one of our churches.’ And of course, he joined Reverend Jeremiah’s church. So that’s what his answer to my question was.” Continue reading →

Restoring America’s global standing – Rick Santorum edition.

Posted on February 20, 2012 by | 2 Comments

Ride for your lives, Dutch ladies! Ride like the wind!

You know all the GOP palaver about how President Obama has wrecked America’s place in the World Cup of Global Domination and Awesome?

Here’s what people in the Netherlands are talking about these days, when they talk about America:

Rick Santorum’s invocation of a nightmare of mass murder of the elderly in the Netherlands has provoked a storm of incredulity and criticism in the Western European country, where the local press say his statistics are wildly inflated.

“Rick Santorum Thinks He Knows the Netherlands: Murder of the Elderly on a Grand Scale” is Saturday’s headline in the daily newspaper NRC Handelsblad.

The Khader Adnan case and Israel’s criminal stupidity.

Posted on February 17, 2012 by | 5 Comments

Lord, I am so slammed with work I was sure I would be posting less for a few weeks and instead I’ve turned into a posting maniac. Be that as it may, I really need to say this out loud:

Israel has a horrible, terrible, no good, very bad policy called “administrative detention” which allows the military to pick up whomever the heck it pleases and throw them into jail without charge, indefinitely (including Jews, and some have been arrested in this fashion). Technically, the cases come before a judge for review on a rolling basis, every four months if I’m not mistaken, but in practice, all that happens is that these cases get endlessly rolled over.

Which is to say: In addition to having a horrible, terrible, no good very bad system of military law that applies to, and only to, the Palestinians that Israel arrests for whatever reason (Israeli settlers are, of course, judged according to Israeli law) — Israel also has this system by which it can grab you for no reason and hold you for however long it likes, a system upon which it has been relying more and more. Currently more than 300 Palestinians are being held under administrative detention by Israel, one of whom is a Gazan man from the West Bank named Khader Adnan.

GOP Justification for State-Sanctioned Rape in Virginia

Posted on February 16, 2012 by | 12 Comments

*blink*

(via rhrealitycheck.org)

Apparently, once vaginally-penetrated, always vaginally-penetrated:

During the floor debate on Tuesday, Del. C. Todd Gilbert announced that “in the vast majority of these cases, these [abortions] are matters of lifestyle convenience.” (He has since apologized.) Virginia Democrat Rep. David Englin, who opposes the bill, has said Gilbert’s statement “is in line with previous Republican comments on the issue,” recalling one conversation with a GOP lawmaker who told him that women had already made the decision to be “vaginally penetrated when they got pregnant.” (I confirmed with Englin that this quote was accurate.)

Santorum Backer Yearns for Days When Women Used Aspirin as Contraception [updated]

Posted on February 16, 2012 by | 16 Comments

Keep your legs closed, sluts.

Billionaire Foster Friess — the main donor to Santorum’s Super PAC — is a moron.  I mean, what does one even say in response to this kind of nonsense?

FRIESS: On this contraceptive thing, my gosh, it’s so inexpensive. You know, back in my days, they used Baer Aspirin for contraceptives. The gals put it between their knees and it wasn’t that costly.

A day in the life of the GOP. And American women.

Posted on February 16, 2012 by | 1 Comment

Over on TPM, Evan McMorris-Santoro sums up the day on which the GOP decided it was time to time-travel back at least sixty years, and drag us all along with them for the trip.

Today. That day was today:

There you have it: modern women being told by Republicans that they’re not qualified to talk about their own sexual health, are dressed like “whores” and probably need birth control because they’re so slutty. And this is just in one day.

For details, click here. But hold on tight, because that time machine moves fast.

And here you were worrying that I was being overly optimistic in my earlier post. Tch.
