redcloud:

If we don’t allow for people to change their minds, there will never be any progress on this.

Of course he’s allowed to change his mind. Just like I’m allowed to call going public with that change only once his and his wife’s careers were safe from any potential fallout a chickenshit move.

Former President Bill Clinton has come out in support of same-sex marriage: The same Bill Clinton who signed the Defense of Marriage Act in ‘96. Brave move to volte-face now, Bubba.

A very scary PM: ‘I don’t believe that any taxes are good taxes’

Tue, 14 Jul 2009 12:03:10 -0600

A very scary PM: ‘I don’t believe that any taxes are good taxes’: I’m not sure where Stephen Harper thinks his paycheque comes from, or what pays for Canadians’ schools, roads, law enforcement, military, social programs, public transportation, and health care, but—no, you know what, I can’t even be glib. Fuck this guy.

I’m a big “de gustibus non est disputandum” guy. I like a lot of off-kilter shit and I totally get if it’s not your thing; variety makes the world go round, etc.

But if you’ve ever been an angsty 17-year-old and you don’t love Pinkerton like it’s a part of your own body, you can fuck right off and die.

Who, exactly, comprises Sarah Palin’s political base?

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 23:38:13 -0600

Who, exactly, comprises Sarah Palin’s political base?:

Leonard Pierce nails it:

Aside from the rump organization of morons who have had nowhere to go since the Know-Nothing Party fell apart, her main constituency, more and more, seems to be that curious segment of the G.O.P. who do things based on their crude calculation that it will ‘piss off the liberals’.

Court tells religious groups to scram

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 22:19:57 -0600

Court tells religious groups to scram:

Two religious groups and a conservative women’s group wishing to intervene in a constitutional challenge to Canada’s prostitution laws have been told to beat it by an Ontario judge. […]

[Justice Ted] Matlow also sent a clear message that religious morality groups don’t have a “special relationship” with the courts that allows them to make arguments that “would reflect the views of only small segments of Canadian society.”

On board with this is the Catholic “Civil Rights” League, which has “actively argued that gay marriage infringes upon freedom of religion.” Because you’re only really free to worship when the government enforces your beliefs on the entire country.

A U.S. Army reservist is seeking a federal court order blocking his assignment to Afghanistan because President Obama is not a natural-born citizen of the United States, and his presidency—and orders given therefrom—are invalid.

A U.S. Army reservist is seeking a federal court order blocking his assignment to Afghanistan because President Obama is not a natural-born citizen of the United States, and his presidency—and orders given therefrom—are invalid.: I’m sure this will end well for Major Cook.

Dear Architects: I am sick of your shit

Dear Architects: I am sick of your shit:

Stephanie found this on the internet and is reading it out loud to me. We are just about pissing ourselves with laughter.

And then you say now I am designing a lifestyle center, and I ask what is that, and you say it is a place that offers goods and services and retail opportunities and I say you mean like a mall and you say no. It is a lifestyle center. I say it sounds like a mall. I am from the Valley, bitch. I know malls.
