Full Disclosure

Via Matt Yglesias, we find that those damn feminists are all upset about the Department of Health and Human Services web page that's filled with propaganda rather than any actual facts. The centerpiece is the bit on abortion ...

"Abortions can have complications. There may be emotional consequences, as well: some women say that they feel sad and some use more alcohol or drugs than before."

That is indeed compelling. I have submitted to the government a possible addendum, certainly meeting the same rigorous intellectual standards:

"Childbirth can have complications. There may be emotional consequences as well: some women say that they feel sad and use more alcohol or drugs than before, or sometimes go batshit fucking crazy and kill their own kids."

I'll let you know what they say.






(NOTE: Before the angry comments start, this post is in no way dismissive of post-partum depression (not all the cases cited were post-partum). I'm simply using the same simplistic language and reasoning of the website I'm lampooning. Also, "batshit fucking crazy" is funny.)

(NOTE the SECOND: I have very rarely, after hunting for links for a post, felt so much like puking and hiding in a closet. if you want me, I'll be in my basement, watching Home Movies and rocking back and forth. Christ.)

My wife doesn't feel like killing our son. But there are days when she will only refer to him as "your child" while talking to me. I have told him before I am going to trade him in for a new model.

Can we please have the election early just so I don't have to hear about these dumbasses anymore?

JESUS F*CKING CHR*ST! SHE PUT HER BABY IN THE MICROWAVE!

The cumulative effect of those stories, each horrifying in its own right, is to leave me groping for the potatoe vodka.

Frigging theocratic loons:

Christian Right Activists Disrupt Hindu Chaplain In The Senate

Today was a historic first for religion in America's civic life: For the very first time, a Hindu delivered the morning invocation in the Senate chamber — only to find the ceremony disrupted by three Christian right activists.

We have video of the astonishing scene, and we'll be sharing it with you shortly.

The three protesters, who all belong to the Christian Right anti-abortion group Operation Save America, and who apparently traveled to Washington all the way from North Carolina, interrupted by loudly asking for God's forgiveness for allowing the false prayer of a Hindu in the Senate chamber.

"Lord Jesus, forgive us father for allowing a prayer of the wicked, which is an abomination in your sight," the first protester began.

"This is an abomination," he continued. "We shall have no other gods before You."


"Operation Save America." Yeah, like maybe if they leave it.

Is there anything we can do to hasten the Rapture? Really, I want to help.

“Say that they feel sad and some use more alcohol or drugs than before."

I feel that way every time I wake up. Then I go back to bed and smoke.

So, Tom, if I'm understanding this, your outrage at the religious intolerance of these men prompts you to... insult their religion?

Good one.

I'd like to apologize for my fellow Christians who are dumbasses.

}I'm Christian myself.. but.. bloody hell, Why does my religion insist on embarssing it's self.

I mean.. is it really that hard to turn the other cheek?


As a completely different aside, this here is an awesome blog.

Yeah - why resort to that when reasoning and logic have worked so well in dealing with fruitcakes like those?

Don't get me wrong, I agree completely - these people are nuts. Just please don't assume all religious folk are this bad; the only thing worse than seeing this kind of blatant propaganda is having it somehow reflect on yourself.

Dave Olden said...

This from the Operation Save America press release about the incident :

The Senate was opened with a Hindu prayer placing the false god of Hinduism on a level playing field with the One True God, Jesus Christ. This would never have been allowed by our Founding Fathers.

James Madison, Founding Father and author of The First Amendment (You know, the Religious Freedom part?) might have been okay with it.

Didn't these guys go to school?

gwangung said...

This is what the Hindu chaplain said:

Let us pray. We meditate on the transcendental glory of the deity supreme, who is inside the heart of the earth, inside the life of the sky and inside the soul of heaven. May he stimulate and illuminate our minds.
Lead us from the unreal to real, from darkness to light, and from death to immortality. May we be protected together. May we be nourished together. May we work together with great vigor. May our study be enlightening.


Corrosive to Christianity, isn't it...

After reading those links and especially the details of the Theresa Knorr story, I was waiting for a pop-up or something telling me "just kidding, didn't happen". Still hoping.

No one is just "Doing very well" any more. There always has to be a snarky "Thank you!" at the end.

No one is just "crazy" any more. There has to be a snarky "Batshit" at the beginning.

I'll admit. "Batshit crazy" is still funny. But only in Hunter S. Thompson novels. Every where else its Like "Hella". Played out.

Snarky. Now that's still funny.

Sakthi, dumpling... that's sweet. Really it is. Just... sweet. Now go up and read the links. It's kind of important that you actually read the post your commenting on. Then come back and give us a real comment instead of your empty platitudes and pastoral vision of how every mother in the world is just chock full o' love.
