oh wait, no it's not!

the email from Kos is Subject: Vagina vagina vagina




[redacted], tell Michigan Republicans that if they don't like it when female lawmakers say "vagina," then they should stop legislating vaginas. Click here to send Michigan Republicans an email.

Earlier this week, during a debate over one of the most restrictive anti-choice bills yet, Michigan state Rep. Lisa Brown read a letter from a voter that concluded with a message for Republican Speaker of the House Jase Bolger:

"Finally Mr. Speaker, I'm flattered that you are all so interested in my vagina, but no means no."

Bolger promptly barred Rep. Brown from speaking on the House floor the next day. Apparently Michigan Republicans think itÂ’s okay to legislate vaginas, but not okay to talk about them.

Click here to tell Jase Bolger that if he doesn't like it when lawmakers say the word "vagina," then he should stop legislating vaginas.

I just did actual science. I compared the 2004 presidential state-by-state vote differences to the 2008 presidential state-by-state vote differences.

Turns out the regression model is very simple

2008% = 2004% * 1.004 - 10.07%

correlation is 94.3%

IOW, a good preidction for any states 2008 vote was just the 2004 vote - 10 percent. Most all the states moved by the around the same amount.

Hawaii missed the predction by 26 points since Obama is (allegedly) from there.

AR TN, WV OK and LA were more for McCain than they were for Bush because Racist.

IN moved 20 points D in 2008 because idiots.

Every other state was within 10 pionts of the model prediction

31 states were within 5 points of the projection.

71 mpfs, Pelosi by her actions of going against the teachings of the Catholic Church has removed herself from the Church.  It falls to the priest conducting the Mass to refuse to give Communion to those who are not in a state to receive it, if the priest knows the person is in such a state.  Pelosi can choose to get in line for Communion and if she receives it, she is committing another sin.  By this time the number of black marks in her ledger might be quite lengthy but only the guy upstairs, Ceiling Cat, knows for sure.

Technically, no.  Can she?  Sure she can.  She just walks up the aisle and receives.  But it won't do her any good.  No grace is transmitted when you receive communion in a state of mortal sin.

And since she persists in "manifest grave sin" she's sinning yet again by even presenting herself for communion.

This is where the touchy-feelyness of the Church annoys me.  We leave the door open hoping, just hoping, the sinner will repent.  But I think it's fairly obvious to even the most casual observer by now that San Fran Nan is clinically insane.  Therefore, the odds of her having a "come to Jesus" moment approach zero.

Also, the only reason she can receive the outward sign is because there isn't a priest or bishop* in her locality with the balls to tell her no.

98 I wish they would kick Nancy out of the tree house.  A formal ex-communication should serve as a wake-up call to the sinner they need to mend their ways.  The sincere will reflect and change, as Sean and AllenG allude to with Nancy I do not htink she would see it as a rebuke.  She would see it as a persecution for her daring to stand up against the Church hierarchy and would use it as such in ever news conference.  She even got rebuked by the Pope and she continues on her sinful ways.  Let G-D sort her plastic self out.

I always love the story of the Annunciation because it shows how much G-D loves us.  Having an angel telling this young woman her G-D wants her to give birth to His Son.  Mary has the choice to refuse this singular honor and G-d would have asked someone else, instead she says yes.  And the rest is religious history.

Rather than ass mirrors, you should invent an ass mirror ADAPTER:      a swivel platform you set   on the floor      in front of your mirror.    You stand on the Ass Mirror Swivel Buddy    and swivel yourself around, then look over your shoulder to see your ass in the mirror.     Sleek, stylish, stores easily under your bed or in a closet,     and it's a THIRD the cost of an actual namebrand        Ass Mirror (tm)!

132 mods I was under the impression the the Church excommunicated you from the faith. You know like sending you a letter that you're kicked out of the club. There's a formal process that requires a Canon Law trial before rendering a verdict and imposing a sentence. But many offenses incur an automatic ("latae sententia" to steal from Sean B.above) penalty of excommunication, without the need for a trial. The diocesean tribunal is good for more than just declarations of nullity. Unfortunately, neither San Francisco nor Washington has used theirs to effect.

I can believe that the Church views both as equally bad.   But you've got to imagine that someone like Nancy Botox isn't going to believe she's been Excommunicated    by any definition until someone's either refused her Communion or she's been told point blank by the Church that she's been    ECed.

190 No, that's just the liberal strawman to eleventy!!!1!1!! According to them, asking the question of how we're spending money or if we're spending it wisely means we're anarchists that don't want to pay a single cent to any program including transportation, libraries, etc.

It's one of their most fundamentally dishonest arguments.

191 Nancy Pelosi.

In April, 2008, when Pope Benedict visited the Bush White House, The Speaker of the US House of Representatives bent down low and kissed the Holy Father's ring.  The look on Bush's face as that phony performed her phony obeisance was the LOL moment of the visit for me.

That woman lives in a galaxy that revolves around her.  Her narcissism is on the same level as Barack Obama's.

To go full-blown reductio ad absurdum -- which I'm sure he'll get to, eventually -- we are all socialists because the oxygen you are breathing came from a tree that someone else planted.

 

F that!   I've planted trees!      If he goes there,      I want him to pay me for the air he uses that was produced by MY tree plantings.  I demand reimbursement if he uses my tree-created air to further his     ravings.

 

*kicks him    preemptively     in the nads*

 

Don't tell me, he's the product of a public school and either a third tier state school which did nothing to correct his shortcomings - or the Ivy League.

 

They're essentially the same thing these days, but with a different price tag.

The proper response to the "Public Roads -> 100% Socialism" idiot is this:

If you're talking about System Restore on Windows, it rolls back to an earlier date. The only things that should be missing is any software that you installed or setting/preferences you changed after that date.

It might be better to find out what exactly changed in your browser, ad-block preferences, or host file to block your connection to minx.cc or ace.mu.nu.

someone mentioned chemtrails in one of the comments. So, we have a homeless person who has decided to make the corner close to us his permanent location (police say there's no law against it so they won't move him along).

 

Anyway, he posted a sign which read "Romney. Attack. Chemtrails."

 

My friends and I have been puzzling for a week now as to whether this sign is pro or anti Romney. Is the guy asking Romney to take care of the chemtrail problem or is he asking the chemtrails to attack Romney?

Today, I saw Quaid the fairtrade coffee drinking, bearded, Grover-bodied gentrifier on his way to deliver a petition to his local congressman signed by 7,000 other Brooklyn-ruining transplants to permanently make Williamsburg, Greenpoint and Bushwick car-free zones so that funemployed pioneers can turn the streets into everyday flea markets to sell hand-crafted pickles, penny farthing accessories and paper clip-Cheerios necklaces. So I dragged him by his filthy Converse sneakers to the batting cages and held his face in front of the 95mph fast ball machine until he was shitting baseballs. End of story.

243 There will be no greater fashion regret as there will be with skinny jeans. I can feel the future lamentations from here.

-------------------

I wear skinny jeans when I wear boots.  Easier.  But I'm a skinny gal, so my arse isn't squeezed into them.

However, I can think of hardly any fashion regret being that of the skinny jeans (excuse me, "tapered") of the 80s that were acid washed with little zippers at the ankles.  Some with pleats!  I still have to leave the lights on some nights just remembering.
