Review and Comment on the News 10/27/06
10.27.06 (8:21 am)   [edit]
This may surprise some of you, but I support gay marriage. Why spare them?

 New Jersey's Supreme Court opened the door to gay marriage Wednesday, ruling that homosexuals are entitled to the same rights as heterosexuals, but leaving it to lawmakers to legalize same-sex unions.

They couldn't do any more damage to the institution of marriage then some fickle, midlife crisis impacted spouses (who shall go nameless) have already done to it, so what the fuck...marriage is a joke...period.

Carl Levin:  We'll turn this fucking war into Vietnam if it kills
us:

Forcing President Bush to consider a withdrawal from Iraq "sooner rather than later" will be the goal of Democrats after the upcoming election, regardless of which party controls congress, Sen. Carl Levin, D-Detroit, said Wednesday.

That way, fucktards like Levin can have their hamster and eat it too.

Karl Rove forces ACORN to engage in voter
fraud:

Hundreds of bogus address changes have surfaced near St. Louis and the election board is warning voters to make sure they get a polling-place notification card. If the card does not show up, a voter's address may have been fraudulently changed, the county elections director said. The bogus address changes are among fraudulent voter-registration cards turning up in St. Louis County within the past couple of months, The St. Louis Post Dispatch reported. The bogus registrations included at least one dead person, officials said. Most of the suspicious registrations and address changes were submitted by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, known as ACORN, election officials said.

Boy, this is a necessary step forward:
Transgender men (or women, I'm confused) can now use women's (or men's) terlets:

Men who live as women can now legally use women's rest rooms in New York's transit system under an unprecedented deal revealed yesterday. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority agreed to allow riders to use MTA rest rooms "consistent with their gender expression," the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund announced yesterday.

Hank McGuiness (now Helena Stone) emerges triumphant from a recent pit stop:

I don't know why the picture wound up over there but oh well, we must soldier forth.

More evil profit:

Oil giant ExxonMobil has had another big quarter.  Great!  Another American company brings home the bacon.  Their third quarter profit was announced yesterday...$10.49 billion.  That's the second-largest quarterly profit ever....behind Exxon Mobil's 4th quarter total from last year.  They are doing quite well.  At least that money is not flowing back to the Middle East to some government oil company.

But of course, that's not how the media and the Democrats see it.  You see, to them, the oil companies are ripping off the public.  They fail to understand supply and demand.  To them, the oil companies should "give back" some of their profits.  Never mind that they do exactly that...give back the money to shareholders.  But what the left fails to grasp is the market...simple supply and demand.

Why is Exxon Mobil so rich?  Because they invested in oil exploration and because they refine and sell gasoline.  They do this all at market prices.  Exxon Mobil doesn't control the price of oil or gasoline, the market (and OPEC) does.  But that's not what the media will tell you.

Remember:  George W. Bush controls the price of gasoline.  He lowered it a bit in time for the elections, but perhaps he needs to do it again.

Trouble in Paradise:

Three buses have been attacked and burnt by gangs of youths on the outskirts of Paris as tensions deepen before the anniversary today of the outbreak of three weeks of violent riots in poor French suburbs.

In one incident, a driver and his passengers were forced to leave a bus at gunpoint in Bagnolet, just east of Paris, early yesterday. The bus was then driven through a barrier into a housing estate and burnt.

I wonder what %age of them are Transgender Parisians. Some time ago I ran a story regarding roving bands of Transgender Americans sacking and looting in New Orleans, quite fun. Maybe Helena Stone was involved, she (he) looks pretty tough.

HitlerBurton W. McChimpstein signs bill for U.S. Mexico border
fence:

WASHINGTON -- President Bush signed a bill Thursday authorizing 700 miles of new fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border, hoping to give Republican candidates a pre-election platform for asserting they're tough on illegal immigration.

...a wall would be nice but oh well. Competetive Diner Kobayashi in action.

Waiting for Gore-doh... Since Al Gore was offered the opportunity to facilitate serious debate on the underlying science of global climate change, 9 months, 3 weeks, 1 day, 21 hours, 47 minutes, and 22 seconds have elapsed. Despite milking lucrative speaking engagements and book deals with his global warming schtick he declines any such debate. Perhaps he's afraid of the Real Inconvenient Truth.

It's rare that I smile when I catch up on the news...so, thanks. I enjoy how you relay the news of the day with such a finely tuned blend of fact, humor and sarcasm...plus you're not afraid to use a well placed 'f--k' here and there-- I appreciate that in a conservative.

Nah, I'd prefer you keep the f--k out of the news.

I'm still trying to understand how gay marriage is going to ruin our society. Would it necessarily open the door for gay adoption, gay advocacy in our schools, etc? Maybe the church should have its own standards for marriage, which members would agree to in order to be married by the church. I've always been taught, as a Baptist, that the church best thrives when it is disentangled from government. "Not of this world..."

I was hoping you wouldn't see this post, at least the opening paragraph. I'm a bit cynical about the institution of marriage right now. Sorry.
