It's SUPER!

So, football players don't like gay people. Well, I'm betting that when they smoke their weed and watch porn they don't complain about the requisite girl on girl scene. But gay guys in the locker room and on the field might do things like chest bump them, smack their teammates ass or jump on top of each other and throw them to the ground and pile on! Disgusting behavior! Thank goodness these overly straight men don't engage in anything that might even remotely seem "faggoty". Why, these guys are so straight, they even beat their wives on a regular basis so I hear.

Damn you, damn you all to hell, you damn faggots!
I can’t believe that the Boy Scouts is even thinking about letting your queer, boy-ass lovin’ hides into my beloved Boy Scouts! Damn Scouts taught me everything I know! Why, I fairly ooze Scoutiness…if you get too close to me, I’ll get a Good Turn all over you!
I hate the damn gays, always screaming about their “equal rights”. Just because you love dudes, you’re expecting to be treated the same as an ordinary, red-blooded ‘Murrican??? In MY troop, we don’t like no gays. A few years back, one of them girly kids tried to join. Get this, he had two freakin’ moms and wanted to be a Boy Scout. Hah! Ought to join the Girls and learn how to make cookies, loser!
Jeez, I can’t even figure out why so many other Scouters from the librul, fag-lovin’ northeast want to change things. There ain’t nothing wrong with the way it’s run today. All I know is I follow the rules. If Scouting wants to be Queer, wouldn’t Baden-Powell have put it in the handbook?
Look, didn’t Jaysus say we ought to kill all the gays? It’s right there in the Bible, about the world blowin’ up if men lie down with dogs, or something like that. Look, all I know is what my preacher tells me on the teevee.
Hell, I’d just as soon go out and shoot some animals or something, just to get all this rage out of my system. I’m so damn mad, I could drive to Headquarters with my assault rifle and really mess somebody up.

Our bizarre weather over the last few days has once again brought the reality of climate change home. After a searing summer that saw a punishing drought in the midwest, we are seeing a fairly warm winter. I can't remember ever hearing about tornadoes in January. We had 70 degree weather - also very unusual for January in this area. We've only had a handful of days below freezing. Bejing China is experiencing a constant twilight as pollution hovers heavily over the city, casting a "Blade Runner"-esque pall. One has to wonder if mankind is on a suicide mission? Between global climate change and local environmental pollution and destruction, we are cooking ourselves in our own filth.

On Sunday, a fire swept through a Brazilian night club, killing over 200 people. The story was eerily reminiscent of a fire several years ago in Rhode Island. In both cases, fireworks started the fires. In both cases, people got trampled trying to get out the front door. The club in Brazil only had one exit; the club in Rhode Island had several. That is likely because of workplace safety laws that have evolved since the Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire of 1911. Republicans constantly put forth the notion that regulations "get in the way of business". Most regulations, however, are created as a result of a tragedy which could be prevented in the future. As a result, we have regulations requiring businesses to have multiple fire exits, to minimize the pollution they put into the environment, and to specify what they can, can't, and must say in labeling and commercials. That latter one of course is for the safety and well-being of the consumer.

We no longer have the debt ceiling to be concerned about, sequestration has been kicked down the road until May. Failed VP candidate Ryan thinks sequestration will happen, so we can expect Congress to get back to work and take care of the people's business. What issues will they tackle? Gun Control? Jobs plan? Immigration Reform? Reauthorize the Violence Against women act? Continue reading...

I'm Mali, So Mali

Where is this Mali place? Velveeta thinks it sounds like a lovely spot to vacate; filled with quietly whispering palm trees overlooking a clear blue ocean rolling over white sands and gentle sloping mountains in the background. Ah, please, ask the Señor to bring Miss Velveeta a fruity cocktail in a coconut, but not with actual coconut in the contents. Strawberries perhaps. Thank you. What? Mali is in a desert, and landlocked? Ew.
