So Not Funny, George H.W. Bush!

Former President George H.W. Bush recently told this so not funny anecdote to some people somewhere:

One time we thought we'd outsmarted the crowd. We sent a decoy limosine off in one direction while I snuck out the back entrance. And we rounded the corner -- I'll never forget it -- and I saw one of the ugliest and angriest women I have ever seen in my entire life. Boy, she was really bad. And she charged my car with a sign... and came up right next to the window: "Stay out of my womb!" No problem, buddy.

Come on, Prez. Don't talk about Barbara that way.

Anti-Feminist Dating Service: Dov Charney

This is Dov Charney. Hey, Dov! He's quite the catch, and yet he's in total need of my dating service. Wha?! Let's look at his resume: 

• He's the founder of American Apparel, so he gots money.
  
• His mustache is connected to his sideburns. 
  
• He's spectacular at math.

Seriously, people. He's a stats whiz. Check out this gem from a 2004 interview that has recently been making its way through the feminist blogosphere.

Women initiate most domestic violence, yet out of a thousand cases of domestic violence maybe one is involving a man.

Can you believe he did all that math in his head? Yes, Dov is a quick one. And to think the U.S. Department of Justice probably used SPSS to come up with totally different data. What a waste of time! So if you're looking for a statistician, or just a good time, give Dov a call.

Let There Be Lies

via Science Blogs

This is the trailer for some weird movie called The Monstrous Regiment of Women: Extolling Femininity, Blasting Feminism. It's about women who, in between decrying the system that allows them to speak without a man's permission and having sex through a hole in the sheet, crawl into their hope chests with a pint of Chunky Monkey and cry themselves to sleep. And while the entire trailer makes me laugh at their stupidity, I do have a favorite part.

I was in the abortion business. I knew if I could go into a school that the pregnancy rate could increase by 50%. I knew if I could get the girls sexually active that she would have 3-5 abortions between the ages of 13 and 18, and that was actually our goal.

It's interesting that this video is on GodTube, when this trailer is filled with such illogical thinking that anyone with two neurons to fire at one another would know that it's all a lie. How can a woman say that she can increase the pregnancy rate by going to a school? Who is she? Gabriel? Or is she sneaking into locker rooms and dropping sperm on these girls' panties while they're in gym? I guess this is what happens when someone doesn't understand that girls have free will and control over their sexuality. Or maybe this poor woman sat in on one too many abstinence-only classes and doesn't know how reproduction actually works.

"You Aborted the Next President" Still Makes No Sense

Why don't the pro-lifers listen to me when I tell them that aborting the next president is impossible? Don't they know that I'm way smarter than they are? Trust me, pro-lifers. I don't like seeing anyone make an ass of themselves by publishing stupid shit on the internet. Not even you. Aren't I pretty great that way? You don't have to answer that. I already know that I am.

Anyway, the video above claims to feature Barack Obama when he was just a wee fetus. First of all, you can't even tell if it's him. That could be anybody. Second of all (and probably more importantly than my first point), ultrasound technology didn't exist in 1961, the year in which he spent most of his time in his lovely mother's uterus. And lastly, this organization didn't even support Barack Obama in the election. Now all of a sudden they're skipping down the street because his mother couldn't even legally get an abortion if she wanted to? Ugh. The stupid makes my head hurt.

Do My Job for Me, American Life League!

This thing I do isn't so easy. Being funny is hard work. That's why I get so happy when someone does something so ridiculously moronic that just repeating it makes it funny.

The American Life League, an anti-choice group, has a fit over Krispy Kreme donuts giving away each customer's choice of donut on January 20.

Total Ass Clown

This is Derek Dye, the Fear-Mongering Clown that teaches abstinence-only education to middle schoolers. He tells kids that having sex before marriage is kind of like becoming a drug addict, binge drinking, and juggling machetes over a friend (who is apparently unconscious from all the drugs and booze). Some clown. He doesn't even know what fun is! And let me add that breaking your hymen isn't as easy as setting a piece of tissue paper ablaze, clown guy. I know. I've been trying for years to get rid of that thing.

Mike Huckabee Answers an Important Question

How many times does a man have to say he doesn't support ass-fucking before people start to believe he enjoys nothing more than a good fuck in the ass?



Four. Maybe three.

What a week for kvetching conservatives*, right? 

There's Sarah Palin belly-aching about anonymous bloggers (whatever those are).

Then Joe the Pretend Plumber complains about non-anonymous non-blogging mainstream-media war correspondents.



He also reminisces about the olden days when people went to the cinema to watch propaganda. Shouldn't he be thrilled that we don't even have to go outside for that anymore? Just turn on Fox News.

Finally, "Ann Coulter *wink*" cries about the ladies of The View not getting her.

And the Little Accident's Name Is . . . .

Hey! Gov. Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol had a baby. Remember the Palins? And in the fine Palin tradition of giving children names that are likely to scar them for life, the little bundle of joy's name is Tripp. As in "I tripped and fell on my boyfriend's penis." What would you have named him? Take the poll or leave other suggestions in comments.

In what the radical right would love to think is a completely unrelated story, abstinence pledges don't work. Not only do kids who pledge abstinence have sex before marriage anyway, they are less likely to use birth control. In other words, abstinence pledges are a ginormous fail. 

Anti-Feminist Dating Service: Dennis Prager

Say hello to Dennis Prager. Hi, Dennis *wink*! This 60-year-old conservative commentator knows women. I mean, he has been married twice. Divorced twice, too. Probably because he's just so in-your-face. He apparently hasn't enjoyed a movie in 20 years, and he likes to stand in front of trees, I guess (seriously, what's up with the background in that photo?). But that's not what makes Dennis so hot. He just can't get enough of that marital rape. But he's real polite about it. When his woman says "not tonight," he doesn't tell her "fuck you." He says, "Fuck me!" This man's been divorced twice? Fuck me! And he totally believes in equality. He supports both men and women contributing to society -- men by going to work every day, and women by being raped by their husbands. Are you swooning yet? I know I am! Or maybe my brain stem just died on me. So if you don't want to date Dennis Prager, you're just his type! Lucky every woman!
