Dear Debbie Stabenow: Fuck You

No, seriously, fuck you.  Fuck you and the whores you rode in on.  You don't get to call yourself a Democrat and then vote to take food out of the mouths of children, you goddamned motherless whore.

Debbie says:

“I deeply care about protecting nutrition assistance programs I hope that that is not in doubt,” Stabenow said. “This is about accountability and integrity within the program, and I must oppose the amendment.”

How about some accountability and integrity from the motherfucking Senate?   You bet your sweet bippy that your support of nutrition assistance programs is in doubt.  In fact, your support of nutrition assistance programs does not exist, as you just voted to boot thousands of families out of those programs.  Eat a big bag of dicks, Debbie Stabenow, but you'd better be prepared to pay cash.  Asshole.

Ode to My Vagina

I have a Very Scary Vagina
I keep it close to me
Whenever I talk about it
It makes Republicans flee

The Power of my Vagina
Must be more than I had thought
It's hard to comprehend
All the furor that it has wrought

To me, it's just a body part
Nothing to fear or hate
To Republicans it's a commodity
That they must legislate

VAGINA!

If you're going to try to regulate it, you had damned well get comfortable talking about it. Thanks to Echidne for the link.

It Would Be Irresponsible Not To Speculate



From the "things that make you go hmmm" files.

Has the Romney family really given up the polygamist tradition practiced by Willard/Mitt's very own grandfather, or have they just learned to better disguise it?  I am informed by people who would know that it is not at all uncommon for polygamist Mormons to use a "surrogate" as cover for children born to anyone other than the First Wife.  And, then, comes this.

"This the second time that Tagg, 42, and his wife, Jen,39,  have used a surrogate. The same surrogate was used for the twins carried their youngest son Jonathan, who was born in August of 2010. Their other three children were not born via surrogacy."

So, two pregnancies, via the same surrogate, when clearly, the couple were able to reproduce on their own on three other occasions?  I don't know, but it seems that some enterprising journalist might find a good story there.  I'm just sayin'.

Fucking Bullshit

I've never been so disappointed in my life, and that's saying something.  After watching all of those tens of thousands protesting in the Capitol, after seeing so many people work so hard, to see that so many people in Wisconsin went out and voted against their own interests, voted for a man that is so obviously contemptuous of them, just breaks my fucking heart.  There will be calls of fraud, there will be protests about the monied interests swaying opinion, but the fact remains, the majority of people there were persuaded to vote in a way that very directly fucks them.  I will never understand it. What in the fuck is wrong with people? 

And Now, Some Good News

This is from May 22, but just now came to my attention.  After wondering for months why the Medical Establishment has remained silent on the issue of the Republican War on Women, finally, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has finally spoken out.

Not only does the deluge of anti-woman, anti-choice, anti-birth control legislation, both nationally and in the States negatively affect the health and well-being of millions of women, it also infringes on the rights of physicians to advise and treat their patients.  In effect, legislators are practicing medicine without a license, and it's high time that they fucking stop.  Kudos to the ACOG for speaking out.

Big Endorsement

On Wisconsin

I was going to try to write something insightful and inspiring regarding today's recall election in Wisconsin, but I think that part of being a good blogger is being able to recognize when someone else says what you want to say better than you ever could.  So, I will just send you on over to Athenae, who is one of the best writers I have yet encountered on these here InterWebs.

Because "Fuck you," That's Why

First of all, go read this post. Go ahead, I'll wait...

Now, I doubt that Mr. Benmosche, while lounging around his seaside villa in Dubrovnik, Croatia, or any other of his seaside or non-seaside villas, has ever had much occasion to meet an actual working person.  I'm pretty sure that even the hiring of people like his gardeners, maids, chauffeurs, etc., is left up to some well-paid Personal Assistant, and that it is a condition of their employment that they never, ever, appear in the presence of Mr. Benmosche.  Had Mr. Benmosche ever actually met and/or conversed with an Actual Working Person, a person who earns their bread by the sweat of their brow rather than by sitting behind a desk, coming up with complicated formulae for derivatives used to bilk little old ladies out of their pensions and scam homeowners out of their homes, I'm sure he would realize that expecting a gardener, or a maid, or a construction worker or a cop to work until they're 80 is completely fucking insane.  Someone in Mr. Benmosche's position, who has never even broken a fingernail in the course of a day's work, and who also, by the way, is wealthy enough to have the very best of medical care, and has never had to eat ramen to make it through the end of the month, is not very likely to understand that.  I get this.  Unless you actually know folks who break their backs to feed themselves and their families, it's very hard to relate.

However, being the Financial Genius and MOTU that he is, one would think that Mr. Benmosche would understand that such a plan is not even remotely financially feasible.  You see, if older workers stay in their jobs ten or twenty years longer than they currently do, there is no room for the up-and-coming, younger job-seekers.  To this point, I would like to direct the following to Mr. Benmosche's attention:

Dear Mr. High and Mighty Prince of Upper Asscrack Living in Your Gated Palace in Dubrovnik:

If people are working until they're 80,  just what in the sweet mother of fuck do you expect the oodles and oodles of twenty-somethings trying to enter the workforce to do for jobs, you steaming pile of monkey shit?  If older workers do not retire, younger workers cannot replace them.  And if enough younger people do not have jobs and are not able to support themselves, you end up with a whole bunch of what are commonly called "radicals," and, they will be coming for you, you fucking dirtbag.

Love,

TV

P.S. By the way, you do realize, also, that by instituting your "plan," and thus contributing to already scarily high unemployment, you will be screwing yourself?  No workers equals no tax revenue; no tax revenue equals no funds available for those "crazies" in Congress to hand over to you the next time your financial wizardry causes a global financial meltdown.  You do know that, right?

Suggestions, Please?

I'm currently in the process of loading up my Kindle with Summer reading, and am looking for suggestions.  Fiction, non-fiction, gimme whatcha' got.
