New Stuff! Shiny!

gaychristian is having a birthday today. Now, dear - when is the other birthday? Cake. Make sure you get your cake!

There's a new webcomic in town.... And it looks promising!

Also, who hasn't heard about drink_liberally? You? Nah. Go over and check it out. I'll wait.

Because here's the face slap of the morning, coming and going. Yanno, back in the day? Haliburton built hospitals and drilled oil wells. That's what Haliburton did.

Twenty or so odd years ago. Could we go back and look at this company before Cheney? Is that even possible?

How can you even apologize for that kind of stuff? I mean - jeez.

The worst part is that we recruit, train and place people to do the work we're paying this contractor to do for them. And it's now very plain they could do it better, cheaper and safer. Themselves. What a concept.

Still lighting the good incense, folks. Nobody is asking me, of course.

*ahem* Go Seahawks.

deense, is project29 deader than dead dead?

And I'm going to Berea, KY by way of Louisville KY for Easter this year. Somebody help me.

One more time -

You fail to address the reasons a woman seeks to end a pregnancy, you fail to address the issue of abortion. Period.

You fail to see a way clear for a woman to complete a pregnancy, safe and well-cared for - you fail to address the issue of abortion. Period.

You fail to see a way to provide legitimate tools for a woman and her partners to prevent an unplanned pregnancy, you fail to address the issue of abortion. Period.

Roe v. Wade is not a blank check to terminate any inconvenient pregnancy, or a free ride for those who would. Roe v. Wade is privacy law. Period.

And in this culture, I'd be more concerned about the privacy issues than the "welfare mom" issues - or the innocence of babes issues.

Do yourself a favor today.

Find a "St. Anne's House" that will take a pregnant woman under the age of 21.
Find a source to safely terminate a pregnancy that you'd trust not to kill you. Oh, and find funding too.

I've tried to do that today, and failed. That's what public opinion has done - and I consider that a very legitimate outcome, considering the vehemence of the arguments put forth.

Anything more is side-stepping the realities entirely.

Noble, my ass. Pro-life, my ass.

Not everyone is in love with the New BSG -

Enough with the Wayback Machine; let's return to me, sitting on the couch, watching the new Battlestar Galactica. And feeling deeply nervous at the appearance of a female in whom sexuality is a visible signal of Evil. The Cylons sent a sexy babe-bot to disarm and confuse the ambassador! Um, why? A Cylon disguised as a guy in a suit and a businesslike attitude would have had exactly the same effect on the plot. It didn't matter one whit whether the ambassador was confused. Boom--space station blow up, and short skirts and tongue-kissing don't change a thing. (Setting aside whether the first and most obvious way of determining the presence of life is swapping spit with someone.)

It got worse. Babe-bot reappears (she is, apparently, as common as Toyota Corollas, except that Toyota Corollas come in several colors) in even fewer inches of fabric, behaves like a fourteen-year-old boy's idea of the perfect girl-toy, and explicitly deploys all that boiling lust-function to do Evil. She even (gasp!) kills a baby. Sex is used to make babies, but sexuality is ultimately the enemy of a nurturing attitude, after all. And nurturing is what real girls are for.

At this point, I realized I was in TV SF hell.

Yup. I knew something was tweaking my WTF button.

And yes folks, this is what is passing for Good right now. God help us.

I miss Quantum Leap even more these days than I have any right to.
