Happy International Women’s Day You Slut!

 

In different regions the focus of the celebrations ranges from general celebration of respect, appreciation and love towards women to a celebration for women’s economic, political and social achievements. — from Wikipedia

Women Never Forget

I guess in America the Republican’s have decided to celebrate by alienating the female vote.

In Virginia Some Republican Governor Who Won’t Get Re-Elected gifted the women of his state by signing a controversial bill requiring an ultrasound for most abortions. While the mandatory intrusive vaginal ultrasound was removed from the bill’s wording, critics of the bill say that forcing a woman to pay for an ultrasound on a pregnancy she is terminating is putting government into the exam room and forcing women into decisions they wouldn’t make otherwise. (Can you say Birth Panels?)

Meanwhile….

Rick Santorum and  Rush Limbaugh  have flooded the airwaves with outrage over insurance companies paying for birth control.  And the Market Driven Media has flooded the airwaves with outrage over the outrage!

I don’t understand how this can even be an issue in this day and age?

I understand why Santorum ‘s all anti birth control – He’s truebluebatshitcrazy. For him it’s about a religious faith and silly facts about our country’s religious freedom will never change his views.

Rush Limbaugh is another matter.  Rush isn’t motivated by faith, or ethics. He’s addicted to wealth and fame. What he wants is a blurb in every paper, a sound bite on every newscast – which he thinks will increase his listeners, and  grow his brand. He’s hoping it will translate  into higher ratings allowing him to charge more for his advertising spots and stick more money in his pocket. In the past his over-blown rhetoric has served him well, and made him a rich man, but this week his blow hard bull shit backfired in his face and he lost a bunch of advertisers… and now only Ashley Madison wants him.

If you are wondering why Mitt Romney has decided to sit the fence and stay out of this debate – he hasn’t  – as it turns out… Mitt Romney is Rush Limbaugh’s boss.

Romney’s company Bain Capital OWNS Clear Channel, which is the broadcast company the Rush Limbaugh works for.

Think about that for a minute.  Creepy huh?  Wait I can make it creepier:

Bain Capital also owns Hospital Corporation of America… and we all know what happens when people have babies, hospitals make money…. so Bain Capital makes money… that’s why Mitt Romney wants you pregnant, not because he s anti birth control, but because your hospital bill will make him money.

That’s kinda fucked up.

 

You know it’s a bad International Women’s Day when even Fox News is asking what is there to celebrate.

SPANX he he That says spanx! he he he

Granny Panties Have Never Been Cooler

 

 

CBS News offers us this heartwarming story of a woman who battled against her negative self image to create a line of girdles that are hip and fun. The self made woman who managed to build a billion dollar empire out of women’s insecurities without any help from a man, got to be the second cover of Forbes Magazine’s Billionaire issue this week. Way to break thru the glass ceiling! Today we slut-ute you!

Words I never thought I would say

The BiebI agree with Justin Bieber.

Yep. Never thought I would say that.  What we agree on is SOPA. The Stop Online Piracy Act, or as I like to call it  – The Death to YouTube Bill. This bill would jail people for posting other people’s work on youtube, even their own performances of other people’s work. So Justin could then go to jail for the very videos that made him the new King of Pop. Irony!

“People need to have the freedom… people need to be able to sing songs. I just think that’s ridiculous.” – The Bieb

I agree it is ridiculous. But I think it goes beyond whether or not I want to sing a cover of Yesterday by the Beatles (maybe with some different lyrics)

It’s about the freedom to express yourself online. To create Art for the shear sake of Art. I haven’t made a dime off anything I have put on YouTube. I don’t imagine I ever will, and even if I do make some change off it, it will never be enough to cover the costs of my equipment. You shouldn’t have to go to jail for a hobby. You shouldn’t have to go to jail for being a fan.

I am not a fan of Bieber’s. (though I do have some respect for him now) I am a fan of Pink Floyd…and I’ve been reading George R.R. Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire Series that HBO has based Game of Thrones on…Oh and did I mention it was Mashup week on Glee? I always find that inspiring.

Here’s the latest video from the warped mind of  Stonygirl…. enjoy.

WALL STREET IS OCCUPIED and nobody cares

or do they?

I did a weird experiment on twitter today. The results shocked me so as a good scientist I repeated the experiment to verify the results – and just for you guys I taped it…

it has now been an hour.
#LawsMenShouldFollow is still in the lead at 933 tweets
#thewayiseeit -twitter’s number one trender is in second at 820
#HappyBirthdayLittleWayne is in third at 808 tweets
#OccupyWallStreet has 788 tweets but is no where to be found on the list.

As a side experiment I am now timing tweets for #SORRYJESUS and #PapooseSaid – giving it five minutes.

tick tock.

OK in five minutes
#SORRYJESUS has recieved 0 new tweets
#PapooseSaid has recieved 26 new tweets
and
#OccupyWallStreet has recieved 60 new tweets

yet twitters top five are still
#thewayiseeit
#LawsMenShouldFollow
Happy Birthday Lil Wayne
#PapooseSaid
SORRY JESUS

how do they determine their top tweets?
