If you like unspoiled natural beauty, better go to Utah NOW. Tracts of land right up to the borders of major national parks are being auctioned off to gas and oil companies. Bush really does not give a fuck about how he's going to be written up in the history books, and now he's giving the whole country the finger on the way out.

So much for a brand new day. Racially-motivated hate crimes are up all over the country. You know what? Fuck the united stuff. Let's give the racists and haters a few lame states and kick them out of the country. We'll be the USA, and they can be the Reject States of America.

Why should Democrats need 60 seats in the Senate? If they'd tried to filibuster everything the Republicans did in 2000, there would have been cries for blood, but it's okay for the elephants to sit in the middle of the aisle and fuck up the legislative process? What the fuck.

A Salvation Army in Colorado is testing a new debit/credit card attachment to the kettles. Well, that's new. Kind of takes the fun out of tossing coins in, but would definitely help with the whole counting money until ass-o-clock thing.

Net neutrality~~~ So you can get your porn just as fast no matter your ISP. :D Hooray for not catering to businesses!

7.5 magnitude earthquake in Indonesia. I only have one thing to show about this:


On the topic of the end of the world, you know how to stop overpopulation? Feminism, bitches. Giving women the choice to control their reproduction would dramatically cut down on infant death rates, which everyone is pissy about... well, fucking don't make the babies, and the best way to keep that from happening (is not abstinence in areas where rape is commonplace, so shut up, mom) is to teach women about their bodies and give them the tools to make their own choices.

A Visual Guide to the Financial Crisis. I will admit, I didn't really understand the cause-and-effect of the problems the country's facing economically until I saw this. Now it makes sense.

Playgirl is out of business. And so passes the only porno magazine catering to straight women, underfunded and understaffed and backstabbed by the more profitable for-men aspects of the industry. It was always good for scaring boys with surprise pictures of peeners. Farewell, Playgirl.

Imminently, an actual post about my day, and a poll.

See you're too nice when it comes to racists. you say separate them from us, and we will both live lives happier for it. I say separate their left side from their right side and use the bodies for fertilizer... Though I would be worried that their Hate would seep into the Soil and prevent anything from growing.

The senate... that just makes me sick. When Republicans are in power, Democrats use the same tactics they do, and the media blasts them for being "resistant, dirty, and underhanded". Democrats are in power, Republicans use the same "resistant, dirty, and underhanded" tactics, and the media praises them for being an effective part of the government.

Sal. Al. getting Card swipes? Nnn... dangerous slope. "Its plastic, it doesn't count as money" Americans are WAY too deep into that mindset to do that responsibly.

It's extremely debatable whether or not Playgirl was actually catering to straight women.

True, they did shift into making it more attractive for gay men, but the articles were definitely woman-friendly. There's only so much you can do when you're the most widely available porn mag with naked men inside...
