The Chick fil A Palin thing

click for larger

Oh, and this is not about bullying the right wing or free speech, either.  It's about right and wrong, and stamping out prejudice.  It's time for the US of A to acknowledge that whatever orientation people are born with is none of Chick fil A's business.    Anyone complaining that good Christians are being bullied has completely forgotten their savior's end* AND his message of love, forgiveness, and FOCUS on what really matters.  

* He was crucified, remember?  But you want to be in control of the GOVERNMENT and not suffer for 'conscience'?  Plus it's a God-given right to hate your neighbor?  Jesus is coming back to deal with you fucking Pharisees, and by the way, he looks exactly like a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.  Assholes!

Romney in London Caption Contest! #RomneyShambles

S

And here's a blank one for you to play with (and yes it's a photoshop, I don't think Cameron wanted Mitt near Her Majesty):

You can also leave a caption in comments below (which will not appear immediately because I screen comments).  The one I like best will be posted here with a link to your blog if you have such.   Deadline is Sunday night.  I'll post the winner on Monday.

h/t my wonderful husband for the idea and input.  xoxo

Mitt supports BOTH Sides!!!

First World Problem? Not. (NSFW)

Hey Congress, why is there so much gun control in the federal buildings of our nation's capital?  Don't you love freedom?

If Civilization Must End, Let It Go Out On This:

 K-Pop (for Korean) and Gangnam is apparently a district there. I suspect this is the US equivalent of "Burbank Style"? Much better in full screen, by the way.

The Real Problem with Middle East Politics?

MISOGYNY? How about we make all the generals go home and put women in charge? Huh?

 I laughed until I cried at this clip this morning. And kudos to Chris Hayes for having not one but TWO actual Syrians on his show to talk about Syria. Like hurricanes in Hartford, Hereford, and Hampshire, that hardly ever happens.

But watch the body language on the former Syrian general as Amy Goodman interrupts him to make a well-informed point about international negotiations. And actually, this isn't an Arab problem. John McCain makes the exact same face. :D

Happy Birthday to me and my mom!

I was born on my mother's birthday so it's always special to say happy birthday to her and back atcha.

And thanks to my wonderful husband and great kids for making every day joyful. I have so much for which to be grateful.

 Not the least of which is, I never have to explain to Sarah Palin why she's not invited to the party.

Arianna Huffington is Marie Antoinette? Really.

First the Karl Marx Mastercard, now this?

Suing Blogger Compares Huffington to Marie Antoinette

It's like the gods of the internet are combing through my 2010 archives, just to screw with me. 

You'll make me the next Sally Quinn?   Of course you will, Dahlink!
But I must know who does Andrea Mitchell's botox.  

Or maybe the universe is telling me to do my birthday fundraiser early.  If a third one of these pops up today I swear it's a sign.  

I Call your Karl Marx Mastercard and Raise You a Che Guevara Visa

Cory Doctorow at BoingBoing points out that the Germans voted Karl Marx as the guy they wanted on their Mastercard. Poor Angela Merkel, NATO should send her another relaxation basket with some chai tea and ready-to-eat cheesecake filling, cuz the East Germans miss socialism.

But on the Marx Mastercard thing. Ahem, I photoshopped that bad boy back in 2010.

  Along with the Che Guevara Visa:

And my personal favorite, the Emma Goldman mugshot Discover Card ("The Card with Payback tm")

Happy Birthday July Bloggers and Activists

Good God, there's a lot of us.

July 16th is the birthday of both Blue Gal and her sainted mother. And for some possibly astrological reason, (are Cancers especially creative or is it our strong parenting instinct which keeps us feeding these babies?) lots and lots of bloggers celebrate birthdays this month, including my evil twin, AL of Threading Water and Pam of Pam's House Blend.


I originally posted a list of bloggers but that was from three years ago and all but the two above are abandoned.  As far as blogging is concerned, it looks like Facebook and Twitter have destroyed the mid-list.  

TODAY is the tenth birthday of my lovely, lovely middle child. So pretty and so smart and such an artist and such a blessing. I love you, sweetheart. Here she is just a few years ago, showing we Cancerian women are all that. I vote her my child most likely to knit AND blog, which should tell you something:


Happy birthday.
