Raping a man: When rape is okay

I wonder what kind of howles we'd have here if I sat around discussing my experience raping a woman and how it's just so much hotter that way.

But the other way around? That is just part of a woman exploring her boundaries. Unless, of course, the man turns out to be a lousy lay. In which case ...

"RAPE!!! Oh, officer, it was just so awful, he could hardly get it up... I mean, no wait... let me explain...."

P.S. This is exactly how sexually self-indulgent hypocritical feminist ho bags turn middle america into a conservative Christian wasteland. You go, gyrrls... You are Karl Rove's dream babes. With friends like you the average American woman need not worry about men.

Impeach Him Now

We can fill journals with all the evidence of Bush incompetence. But what is the point?

We need an active organized impeachment effort now. Anything less is mere thumb-sucking. This is the problem with Dems. People need to get behind Feingold (or whatever his name is) and start cutting the US out of POTUS (yeah, that was cheezy, someone come up with something better plz)

LW should've invited herself over...

A dark house, lit only by candles, snow falling silently in great drifts outside, a crackling fire in the fireplace, a couple bottles of wine, and some hot scented oil . . . LW missed her chance for a threesome!

How to grow up: take on an issue that matters (instead of another man)

So we got it, LW, your life is good, and you can get a man. Congrats!

Now how about giving back a bit instead of just taking up space?

There is no shortage of opportunity in the "make a difference" dept.

Effort, committment, and consequence can mature anyone fast.

Here's hoping you age a day or two...

I piss on Democrats

And now you know why. Impeach the President. Register Independent.

Original article: Only the GOP can save us

The truth, spoken

No Demos voted for Bush. Most Repubs did. So, basically, it's up to them to save us. Sad, but true. But will any of them own up to their mistake in twice electing this man?

Doubtful. Like the gambler who won't leave the table until he "wins it all back" (and thus stays until he's flat ass broke) these folks are suffering serious cognitive dissonance. Like their fearless leader they just won't admit it's all fucked up.

Surely, this is all Clinton's fault? Wasn't it the crazy liberals who got us into Iraq? 9/11 wasn't Al Queda, it wasn't Saddam, it was... Al Gore!!

What we really need to do is sell Texas back to Mexico, Alaska back to the Russians, and make the rest of the midwest Indian territory again.

I don't get it

Where did they find the gold bedpan? Did the hooker steal it from the old man? What is the point of the gay midget with the afro (he seemed superfluous to me)...

The more interesting question is...

Not who sends the checks for the bills, but whose money actually covers them.

Barf

Where is Osama when you need him? Or, better, Holden Caulfield?

Al Franken's comments were spot on. But, what was he doing there?

This kind of "kiss the fabulous rich insider's ass" affair is what turns gov. over to special interests and makes avg. Americans so cynical. It is as bad among rich libby New York Daddy's Girl fems as it is among faux conservative Texas Daddy's Boy cowboys.

No wonder guys like Hugo, Saddam, and Stalin get so popular.

Bring 'em home and impeach the POTUS.

Wrong, Aesop

To require feminism to serve up happiness on a platter for women is to ask of it something that is not asked of any other political or cultural movement or philosophy.

For happiness try:

  • Buddhism
  • Judaism
  • Psychotherapy

Or a dozen other political or cultural movements or philosophies.

Can women write about anything besides women?

It seems that all the women here write is endless tripe about the plight of ... women.

The Times: Fiction

From Judy Miller's WMD to Jayson Blaire these folks just continue to make it up as they go. Glad to see Salon kick them to the curb. We need more straight reporting like this that exposes the mainstream media for the lazy self-serving beast that it is.

Take a big whiff ....

Ms. Traister wraps up her little report on a renown *female* philander by accusing *men* of being remorseless home-wrecking bastards.

This non-sequiter is worthy of Fox news.

So take a big whiff. Can you smell it?

Some people say (according to our unnamed sources and biased in-house polls) that this is the smell of rotten pussy. We report, you decide...

Tuesday, March 21, 2006 06:02 PM

Apparently...

nobody cares.

Oh, please, Andy! Untangle your panties and turn your brain back on

Goldman is the good guy now? Are you not informed of whence their global earth-shattering profits derive? Did you not read that expose on the Nature Conservancy?

Get a clue, Mr. How It Works. Anyone willing stick it to a filthy effing rich I-banker (we are talking in the hundreds of millions) who takes his cold-blooded profit on the back of global rape and pillage -- and 7% of every local entrepreneur's offering -- and then polishes his Blahnicks with a faux-environmental fund that exists to shelter said profits at the expense of the very endangered land in question ... makes sleepless quixotic bloggers (meant in the most Quihotian sense of the word, joe) look much like the asses they ride in on.

And please spare us any homlilies on how the cozy insider capitalism of G.S. represents anything remotely to do with free trade. Congress passes laws to keep these guys in business. It's a racket. While the average man rots, they record record (sic) profits.

In fact, why don't you research that? It's all rather interesting, don't you think? Who knows, you might even turn up something relevant to how the world really works.

Hint: Start by finding the ivory billed woodpecker. Then then just follow the money . . .

Would a gravity assist help?

Inertia: The tendency of a body to resist acceleration; the tendency of a body at rest to remain at rest.

So. Start by jumping out a window. That will get you moving. Write back once you pick up speed and we'll take it from there.
