Happened across this, this morning...

Sluts and Whores
So while everybody shouts back and forth about the whole Limbaugh-Fluke-slut deal, which is pretty reprehensible, I am going to mention one point...
Dudes like Blunt and Boehner intend to circle back for another go at the legislation. Legislation that is flawed and absurd in basis and application.
While it is rude of Limbaugh to call Fluke a slut, the thing that everybody should be even more pissed off about is this initiative by conservatives to degrade women's access to basic healthcare. That is what we are talking about here, and it is a lot bigger than simpleton, high school insults...
Here is Fluke delivering her opening statements, in case you have only heard the mass media coverage, insults, outrage and backlash...
It only is ten minutes. I would venture you have already heard more than ten minutes of bullshit on the subject, so why not hear what Fluke actually said?
On a separate subject, why isn't anybody talking about the Michigan GOP mess?
Not the bit about Dem's jumping party lines to impact the vote, because that is even acceptable for Mr. Mitt by his own admission.
No, I am talking about the state organizers moving to change the rules regarding delegate allocation after the voting was done?
I mean it is pretty clear that somebody wants Romney to be the candidate, but changing the rules of the game after the public vote seems a it, you know, wrong. The change in rules allowed party leaders to assign one of the floating convention delegates to Romney rather than Santorum, thus preventing a tie in terms of nominating delegates.
I guess I don't care if the GOP digs up the mummified corpse of Reagan and runs it in the election, so this kind of shiftiness doesn't impact me much, now - but changing the rules on your own game, after mustering the core to vote for the least pathetic candidate seems just tacky, doesn't it?

Borked
Over at the Washington Post, Carter Eskew finds parallels between the whole Blunt amendment debacle and Edward Kennedy's speech regarding the nomination of Robert Bork or the Supreme Court.
From Kennedy's speech.-
I actually remember that nomination process and speech.
Yes, I was in high school...
Anybody with rosey glasses, for looking back at the Reagan presidency, should be reminded that he put Bork up for that job. Bork may best be described as a conservative, far fringe dwelling, fuck stick, for those of you who weren't around or paying attention back then.
Oddly, in spite of averting the catastrophe of the old Borker on the Supreme Court and a lot of talk about how the country is turning into a crazy, commie, homo land - we actually seem to have creeped closer to the reality that Kennedy was talking about there, in 1987, huh?
From Kennedy's speech.-
Robert Bork's America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens' doors in midnight raids, schoolchildren could not be taught about evolution, writers and artists would be censored at the whim of government, and the doors of the federal courts would be shut on the fingers of millions of citizens for whom the judiciary is often the only protector of the individual rights that are the heart of our democracy.

March
Well, it is March...
Sorta still feels like February.
Sometimes, it seems that the only thing that changes are the pages of the calender...
Puppet Porn
Hey, who has some good links for puppet porn?
Asking for a friend...
Actually, I was just thinking that was a funny question, but was too scared to put it up on Twitter for fear of the responses.
So I posted it here...
Anyway, if you have some puppet porn suggestions, send them along.
