I like the idea of a war on women.

See, after thirty years of the War on Drugs, drugs are easily and cheaply available to anyone who wants them.

So after a few years of War on Women ...

or

it could be like teh GWOT, where the result is an infinite amount of money and energy spent resulting in no discernible effect. T-ism is neither easy nor cheap, in fact, there's *none* to be found around anywhere I go. And that would be bad.

Yep, sounds like my relationship with women, alright.

If Bush had gone out with the stated intent of banning democracy it would have gone much smoother.

Newt Gingrich: Job Killer

Quote:

Newt Gingrich has laid off a number of staff members in a last-ditch effort to take his presidential campaign to the Republican convention.

Lamplighter · 03-31-2012, 09:44 AM

The staff got severance pay valued at one day's work at minimum wage
- a picture of Newt.

If you think that's bad, just wait till he drops out. Not a single media outlet will get a dime and heads will roll.

Ooooh, sounds like somebody got a new IPad.

Google News today listed this headline:

Sydney Morning Herald
"Primaries may put Mitt over the top"

It was startling because I first read it as:
"Primates may put Mitt over the top"

I thought Newt was one of the saner candidates. But I'm reading The Gay Metropolis by Charles Kaiser, which is technically a history of gay people in New York from the 1940s onwards, but is further ranging and quite fascinating. 'Cept I have to stop and keep looking up people and places which it is assumed I know about. Anita Bryant, Fire Island et al.

Anyway, I know Republicans are the anti-gay party (not Republican Dwellars, but that's what comes across from the party) but I didn't realise how far back Gingrich's homophobia was adversely affecting gay lives.

Still, it's all education - live and learn.

You are living in a fantasy world mercy if you believe that a series of quotes of derogatory remarks made by lawmakers you favor is "a load of political Bull Shit" but the baseless assertion that "Obama owns the rise in gas prices" is "is really an important fact to hammer".

One is a fact, but unfavorable, which you dismiss. The other is an opinion, you feel is favorable, which you try to promote as meaningful and factual. But you can't tell the difference. A shame.
