1. If large testes are bad for your brain, does using steroids maker you smarter?
2. I like alternative energy and the green movement, but when we start getting low on the wanking salmon, will I have to take hand in the brightening myself?
3. I’m sure you could dig up an equal list of dems, but the thugs are making it so easy these days.
4. And finally, I just wish I’d thought of this headline for the Petraeus 9/11 recital: Chickens**t Spews Lies for Chickenhawk.
Good morning. Nope, nothing new here, other than rain, a big hole in my wall that I still need to fix and a cord of wood still left to split and stack, preferably somewhere dry. What we thought was smoke from the fires this weekend turned out to just be dust blowing up from the Palouse. I had no idea Idaho was a perpetual dust bowl. Speaking of fire, it looks like we’re number one again — most acres burned! Yay, Idaho!
Ouch.
It’s only been three months (four?) since I had a filling replaced with what the dentist called an overlay and the nightmare began. First, they made the overlay too tall, so I was constantly exerting pressure on a corner of the tooth. Then they ground it down and cracked it, so that anything I ate or drank went straight to the root (fun stuff, that). Finally, the dentist admitted failure and put on a temporary crown. Which immediately wore through in the center, leaving a little cement and a whole lot of nerve for every meal. Today I received the permanent crown. We’ll see how it goes. I like that it is smooth to the tongue and that it has no giant gaping holes in it. I don’t like the ring of grey cement all around it (which I’ve been promised will go away. The excess cement, not the crown).
What else? Well, I’ve been working and we have regular insurance again. Sure, the coverage sucks and is as much as our mortgage, and we had to go with four individual policies rather than a family policy to keep the whole thing under $2K per month, but at least we are insured. It must suck to be poor in America.
It’s a work in progress, but my new theme is up. Let me know if it’s interesting, acceptable or just annoying as all hell. I am removing all other themes from my system for now, so if you load my site and it looks funky, just do a hard refresh, or wipe your browser’s cache. The monkey and the banana peel are from Open ClipArt and the theme is based on “Gone Fishing” by Designer Daily.
Hallelujah! Michael Vick found Jesus! Paris . . . Michael . . . pretty much anyone about to face a judge or parole board . . . someone really needs to put a leash on Jesus . . . poor little guy gets lost more than Waldo. Personally, I’d rather these people showed some spine and claimed to have changed themselves, not looked to a higher power to do it. Claiming the son of God has made you a better person sounds like a cop-out to me. Speaking of cop-outs, blaming animal cruelty on immaturity definitely fits that description. You aren’t immature, Michael, you are lacking a sense of morality and decency.
Another day, another Repug sex scandal. No teen boys this time a-la Mark Foley, but rather a grimy public restroom and hopes of sweaty man-lovin’ a-la Bob Allen. Although the twist here is that our home-state anti-hero is actually the original Bob Allen, having made his grasp for the golden cock-ring a month before Rep. Allen. Unfortunately, this being Idaho, nobody realized who he was until two months later. Yes, for those of you without t.v., radio, newspaper or internet access, Idaho’s own gay-bashing Senator Larry “Wide Stance” Craig pled guilty to charges of lewd conduct after being caught in a sex sting at a Minnesota airport.
As long as it is legal, I don’t think that sexual orientation should be a consideration, whether in politics or elsewhere in life. Heck, assuming it was consensual, Larry could do late-night pickups with howler monkeys and ground squirrels for all I care. What I cannot stand is the self-loathing, hypocrisy and downright stupidity. Why do the manloving repugs have to work so hard to prove they are anti-gay, pushing as much hate legislation as possible and just being offensive in general? Just deal with it! Either accept who you are and man-up, or suppress it entirely and quit making life worse for other gays and less risky for you and your beard.
Which brings me to stupidity. If you are going to engage in risky behavior, likely endangering not only your health, but your beard’s wife’s as well, do it a little smarter. Public restrooms are not the place to meet the day’s ManSnack! If you want to slide down that pole or feel the call of the hershey highway, use a legitimate hookup and a motel. What the hell do you think Craigslist is for? Or, if you want more structure, AFF? I’m sure there’s even a ButtPounders.com, ArseFinders.com or SweatyManLove.com out there somewhere. Heck, check the local classifieds. Not only does one of these sources and a motel reservation reduce the chances you will be making passes at cops, but it gives you the chance to do your thing without the rest of us finding out and getting stuck on the “eww!” factor of the location.
So Senator Craig, good luck in your next career, thank you for reinforcing my stereotype of Repugnicans (your party’s initials do stand for Gay Old Perverts, correct?), and may your next replacement, straight, gay or monkeylovin’, not be such a hateful hypocrite. Yes, I know this is Idaho, so we’re probably going to end up with someone just like you or just a little bit worse, but I can still dream.
Ouch . . . Since she doesn’t seem to be following through with her promise to be a Lorena Bobbitt, I thought she might like this approach instead.
Watch the video, then read up on his latest qualifying statements, please. Then explain to me how it was wrong back then for all those reasons, and right post 9/11 when, as has been pointed out quite frequently, IRAQ HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH 9/11!!! Sorry about the shouting, but Republicans still don’t seem to get it. They’re still in the mindset that we have to fight them over there to dramatically increase the number that will eventually come attack us over here. Yeah, good strategy. Of course, what can you expect from a man connected to a group that is advocating making GWB President for life?
p.s. — I thought changing your mind about something was called a “flip-flop” which no Repug would ever do . . .
Okay, this is annoying me: Yahoo and Google do not seem to be getting my RSS updates. Grr.
Okay, fixed again. I had to change the code again after removing /blog/ from my url, hopefully the redirect I added will fix this for anyone using google reader or yahoo. If not, just subscribe again and you should be good to go.
