On the death of an abortion provider
aimee-b-loved:
As you all may know, George Tiller, a Wichita, Kan.-based abortion provider, was shot and killed while attending church today. For years, Tiller has been a lightening rod for local and national anti-abortion debates. He practiced through protests, vandalism to his clinic, baseless investigations and pervious threats upon his life. He provided a legal service much to the ideological...
How many anti-choice activists does it take to...
aedison:
Four. One to change it, and three to protest at an abortion clinic, thereby creating a culture of fear around an activity that should be about freedom of choice, all for the purposes of appeasing a god who probably doesn’t exist, and probably wouldn’t care about abortions if he did.
Oh, and one to shoot an abortion provider whilst he’s at his church. Because murder isn’t murder if...
Cookies'n'crème Hershey's kisses. Why did no one...
Avery, while looking at pictures of a baby being...
“I don’t like swaddling!”
“See, she can’t move! This is why i don’t like swaddling!”
“What if she has to do semaphore? It’s bad enough she doesn’t have any flags, now she can’t move her arms!”
Inspired by Here We Go Again, an awesome blog, even without cute baby pics.
Avery's also never heard "I Touch Myself".
And she calls me ignorant about music.
Your daily "ow, this makes my head hurt!"
What Can You Buy With A Trillion Dollars?
If this makes your head hurt, and makes you furious that we could so cheaply fix so many things and haven’t, don’t worry; it also includes this tidbit: With a trillion dollars you could buy out America’s supply of bacon for the next 500 years.

I WILL SAY THIS AGAIN
TWITTER IS NOT A DATING SITE.
uhhhh.
I will second that. I’m always careful to clarify that meeting “on the internet” does NOT mean on a dating site.
Not that there’s anything wrong with dating sites. I’ve known people who did very well on them.
You know what happens when you guys fail to...
You better pay attention to me next time or I’ll tell you all about them.
I’m bored. I’m up and I’m bored. Someone entertain me. I’m bored. Bored bored bored. Hey anyone else up? ‘Cause I’m pretty bored here.
Also, my dad was on Morning Edition today.
Not that I feel any pressure to succeed or anything.
No one kicks ass like Avery Edison kicks ass.

Remind me never to say anything dumb and piss her off, because damn.
Amen Aedison. Amen.
Don’t worry. She’s pretty tolerant, unless you’re a motherfucking dumbass ignorant bigoted dick.

I know nothing about camera companies, but this is now my favorite one.
You should obviously read the whole piece, but here’s an excerpt:
Sometimes referred to as “the photography industry’s Schindler,” Ernst Leitz II [“designer and manufacturer of Leica”], a Protestant Christian, began a covert operation as Hitler rose to power whereby he assigned his Jewish employees to...

Wikipedia:
“In Center for Reproductive Law and Policy v. Bush, Sotomayor upheld the Bush administration’s implementation of the ‘Mexico City Policy’ which requires foreign organizations receiving U.S. funds to ‘neither perform nor actively promote abortion as a method of family planning in other nations’. Sotomayor held that the policy did not constitute a...

Torture is criminal, inhumane, brutal, immoral and dehumanizing. Those points are the only salient facts.
Taking a baseball bat to your kid’s jaw is a very “effective” method to make him shut up and go away already, but we don’t argue that it’s ever OK to do so.

Feel free to amuse me.
Amuse yourself by making a list of ways Republicans can smear Sotomayor without seeming a) racist, b) sexist, or c) self-hating, given that Bush the First originally appointed her.
That sounds like work.
How about childish, is it OK if they seem childish?
“If you like her, we don’t like her. EEW Cooties!”
I wasn’t aware...

funsizebytes:
Given that ErsatzMoe’s version made it to Favrd, maybe other people would like to see Emilybrianna’s reply make it there?
You know what?
Quoth emzbulletproof: “It should be noted here that I am a social worker. I have a very twisted sense of humor when it comes to things such as these. I think it’s just the extreme ignorance that pisses me off, in addition to the fact that I just had to buy my 8yo a training bra.”
