Why do female voters distrust the GOP? Some answers … | Jay Bookman
Virginia’s governor backed off a bit from willfully violating women whose stance on abortion he disagrees with, but I’m not one to give a medal to an idiot who accidentally does the right thing once in awhile.
So, he and his ilk still deserve scorn for even this small list.
And, really, what woman purposely supports and votes for these measures? I mean, every group has a history of people working against their own people just to survive. This, however, I just don’t get.
How to avoid being tagged as a terrorist: Don’t pay cash for coffee | ITworld
A cup of coffee can make you a terrorist in the eyes of the Feds. No, not so much handing over cash to some random Columbians. Just using cash itself.
That, and other ridiculously common acts make you anti-American in some eyes. You know, like being gay or Muslim or a voting member of the Democratic Party.
We live in a world full of idiots and too many of them have a say in how the world is run.
Here are the fliers being handed out for type of location. Of course, just looking at them probably makes you a terrorist too. Just so you’ve been warned.
The Death Star is a Surprisingly Cost-Effective Weapons System | Mother Jones

Local Reaction to NY Muslim Student Controversy – KIMT.com – Iowa & Minnesota Together
Leslie was on TV last night talking about respecting cultures and keeping them safe in light of news the NYC cops are running around being thugs and spying on Muslim students.
Hey! They are students, trying to learn things. Not hypocritical a-holes trying to learn how to take off a plane but not land it.

Behind the scenes in the Clint Eastwood ad » Comment Page 7 | Jay Bookman
I really didn’t care one way or another about the Eastwood ad during the Super Bowl.
One, I didn’t watch the game. Two, they’ve done better ads.
Thing is though, Eastwood is avowedly conservative, so the GOP going full bonkers about what they – and only they – say is a pro-Obama ad is ridiculous. Not to mention insulting.
They say *they* are the patriots. Yet they don’t pay for the nation through taxes and our elected officials have done everything they could to ensure they never had to serve and possibly pay in blood. Jay Bookman discussed this recently and I am sick of the folks trying to trample on people’s rights get away with saying they are defending democracy.
Patriotism is for everyone, comes in many forms, and – this is key – has more to do with sacrificing for the good of all instead of taking whatever you can get from the body politic.
