Funny!
Funny because abortion is a legal medical procedure, and yet John Boehner cannot stop bringing it up! For a vote!
Because I’m sure John Boehner thinks that health insurance should cover him, even though he smokes! And I agree! It should! Smoking...

…is almost done. I’m actually going to print it, sign it, and mail it registered mail to his Washington, D.C. office. It’s taken all my considerable faculties to write a strongly-worded though respectful letter. I will post the body of it here on my FB page when I am done.

I have issues with Starbucks. Let me start here.
1. They have no fucking clue how to make a decent Chai. None of them, anywhere. It does not taste like Chai, it tastes like sugar water with a few spices thrown in. I have had real Chai.It does not include a shit ton of awful whipped cream and…
Starbucks is crap. You can quote me on it.

The Rape Of Morality →
My Representative, Chris Smith, and his cohort in crime, John Boehner, and 171 other Republican stooges, are getting ready to ram a bill through the House (which has no chance of passing in the Senate, or being signed by President Obama) which would further limit the ability of women to obtain safe, legal, and affordable abortions. This is how I feel.

It is not as easy as it is made to look, especially when you’re in your mid-40’s and out of shape.
missbananafish asked: That too! It's a return to the Dark Ages when the Church didn't want the people to become literate and rise up against it in protest. No one with any sense would regard that time as "the good ol' days," but I guess Rick Perry & Co. would.

It was about a lower middle-class boy with a miserable life, a misfit at school and at home, struggling to make his way towards manhood. The 400 blows were what society dealt him. Antoine marched to the beat of a different drummer (read: undiagnosed ADHD IMO).

All the “adoption is always an option” comments on the Jezebel late term abortion thread seem to be ignoring the whole “rape” aspect of the story. It is possible, and from the brief sentences we get from the patient, it sounds like it is probable, that she doesn’t just want to not raise her rapist’s baby, she does not want this ‘baby’ to exist. And fuck you if you think she doesn’t...

I’m with Dana Milbank — how about we stop caring what Sarah Palin’s opinion or reaction is to everything? What, exactly, has she done to deserve this much attention? As he mentioned on WHYY’s Radio Times this morning, she gets more mentions as an ex-VP candidate, then the actual sitting VP, Joe Biden.
