One more difference:

Those penis erectile porn studies suggest that there's no such thing as a bi guy. Guys who assert they're bi go erect for gay porn.

On the other hand, my experiences suggest that most women are bi and those same studies suggest the same.

So, to say that Hillary is bi is like saying that Hillary has a septum. What women doesn't?

But to say that Craig is bi is disingenuous. He's probably gay as Liberace.

And seriously, what's gayer than those wives of evangelical preachers and their hubbies? Those wives look like drag queens and their husbands are drawn to that...and their meth-y rent boys, of course.

Original article: Opus

Great post, minnesinger5.

Contemplate all the faux drama of "teh gays are coming, teh gays are coming." Now contemplate the coming drama of crushing debt, rising oceans, collapsing ecosystems, the shrinking of the middle class, etc. I believe estimates that we'll be reduced to half a billion people worldwide by this century's end. But hey, hey, hey, we need more white babies, people! There's the brown menace, after all. That's the big problem: not a global thermosat reset to deep fat fry.

Hey, why are Elephantman and his ilk obsessed with Hillary?

I have a torture-lovin', imperialism-rootin' sister and I asked her. All she could do was sputter. And why are fundies so generally fascinated with queer crotches? Go to Free Republic and their most crowded threads are the gay ones. It's queer.*

* Archaic application of the word

And why isn't Elephantman in Iraq? Or working 3 jobs to pay off the more than doubling of the national debt? Don't neocons believe in responsibility? Or is he like Bush, Limbaugh, and Cheney, yet another cowardly, old guy who sends youngsters off to die?

Elephantman, your Hillary obsession was revealed in your...

Hillary non-sequitur. Mr. Grieve's essay was about Craig.

You introduced two, two, two Clintons instead of the usual one!

Again, go get another job. The trillions borrowed by your Bush should be your responsibility...and that of other Bush-voters. You don't want to burden the children, do ya? Today's American babies are born in $33,000 of debt. You don't want these babies left behind in the American dream, do ya?

And if you're married, rather than worry about Hillary's and Bill's crotches, worry about your wife's. Most women are bi. Trust me. ;-)

And Craig is just one of scores of fundies/neocon leaders who've been caught dressed in fishnet stockings trying to pimp themselves or trying to seduce boys/cops/strange men.

Oh, yeah, you should...

...support Hillary. She supported your beloved War of Oil and Vengeance and hated teh gay too. No turning the cheek for that gal: it's Shock and Awe, or what I deem Smoldering Corpses and Widows for the Pink Baby Jesus.

paulpsd7, I also noted that Elephantman can spell.

"Huh," I thought. "That's odd."

Still, the well-spelling Elephantman lacks the gumption to divorce his lips from Rove's bum. I think we need Ken Starr to spend tens of millions more investigating Craig's sperm (We can borrow it from the Chinese, just as we're borrowing their money to fund Vietnam, Part II.). Ken Starr can find a pair of Craig semen-stained boxer shorts...that don't belong to the Senator from Idaho. And Dems can assert that their ONLY concern is that Craig promised to be true to the people of Idaho, but lied, lies, and will lie. And instead of planning for the end of oil, the bankrupting of America by Bush via Bush-voters, and the crippling of due process, checks and balances, and decency, we'll waste years obsessing about Craig's semen stain on some rent boy's blue boxers.

Blech. I often think Lincoln had it wrong. I think there should be two Americas: a red America, with their torture and gulags and perpetual war, and a blue America, where due process and checks and balances are treasured infinitely more than a dry drunk pretending to be a cowboy and a warrior.

Elephantman, I don't just blame Bush for torture, the dismantling of the Constitution, the more than doubling of the debt, etc.

I blame you too. And all Hillary-obsessed, gay-obsessed, endless-war, Hell-no-I-won't-go Republicans.

And you might be right about high school kids already understanding what I asserted about many women being bi and thus it being a nonstory and bi men being quite rare.

If you're a typical Republican, then your work is never done,

for your work is forever obsessing about Clinton crotches and gay people's crotches.

My Man Godfrey, you're a drama queen,

right?

And is the question I just posed the worst question of all time or just the worst question you've ever seen?

Sure, I shouldn't have poked the Elephantman. Guilty.

So, I'm a blackened kettle, but reread your posting, Pot.

And as far as the infinite complexity of human sexuality, that's mighty special-snowflaky.

The bottom line:

Bonnie Eslinger, the article's author, wrote: "And for me, that's the bottom line when I consider cashing in on all the benefits our heterosexual relationship is entitled to. My gay friends can't do that. I don't want to send a message to anyone, including my daughter—who may someday choose a same-sex life partner—that the value of her relationships can be determined by law and the affirmation of others."

I love that she won't dine at the straight people's country club when some of her buds/fellow citizens are denied entry.

Original article: The future of your face

I'm pioneering a technique...

...whereby I'll transfer butt fat to my face to fill in my wrinkles.

And I'll thereby literally earn my nickname, "buttface."

As far as all the surgical and chemical interventions that people endure, they don't look young. Most of 'em range from odd to clearlysurgicallyaltered. The best of 'em might be Cher, but it's hard to say what lies beneath all the paint and before the retouching...and she surely can't produce the full range of distinct facial expressions, which numbers in the hundreds.

Well observed,

Ms. Price.

Huckabee believes that God talks to him.

He's not the only one who believes this. So, why don't we wire Huckabee and record what God tells him...unless, Huckabee and the others are hearing God's voice in their head. If so, let them transcribe EXACTLY what God says. I'm guessing God would use the same syntax and colliquialisms as each of those to whom God allegedly speaks.
