Turns out, there was never a "mansession."*
I guess all that outrage over women not suffering from the recession as much as men was bullshit. Now they need to find something new to blame women for, how about an earthquake?
*I thought it was called the "hesession", I guess they got tired of that.

Hope for my Generation
Interesting:
Young people, the survey found, "are more positive about 'socialism' -- and more negative about 'capitalism' -- than are older Americans."
While I'm not advocating Marxism, I think more people should stop looking at our economy as a way to make a few people rich while making millions poor and as a way to ensure that society advances prosperously as a whole. If that means soaking the rich, then fine, do it. I just hope this is true and my generation gets it.

Vox Day and the Confederate Flag
From the most insane man in America, here's Vox's take on the Confederate Flag:
It would be educational to see what would happen if Southerners refused to enlist and re-enlist until ludicrous ban on Southern heritage and Southron (sic) pride is rescinded.
Yes, southern heritage only began in 1861 when 12 states committed treason and tried to leave the United States over slavery. That would be like saying German heritage only began when they started flying the Swastika. But Vox continues:
Without the South, the Marine Corps would find itself transformed into a mercenary force largely populated by gangsters looking to acquire combat training and Mexicans seeking citizenship.
Let's add some racism into the mix. Vox assumes A. all the southern marines are white and B. that all the minorities are violent. Thank you for that open racism Vox, it's great to express what you really think, racist fucker!
Of course, if that's the ultimate objective of the policy, then we can expect that the ban on the Confederate Battle flag will only be the first step and it won't be long before other patriotic symbols such as the Gadsden Flag and the Betsy Ross Flag are banned as well.
I think in the end it comes down to that supporters of the Confederacy view the rebellion as an act in support of the United States against the "Yankee tyranny." But in reality is was treason against the United States, the stars and bars should not even be mentioned along side the Gadsden or Betsy Ross flags. The stars and bars are the American equivalence to the Swastika, states shouldn't even be allowed to have them on their state flags.
The Marines and the other military branches do a lot of stupid and unethical things, but they are 100% right to ban the tattoo, Vox is 100% wrong.

Another Point About the Spill
Instead of an oil leak, imagine a nuclear power plant leak, think for a few seconds.
It will be 100,000 times worse than the oil spill.
Now imagine that never happening.
Imagine almost 100% of our power coming from something that can't leak like solar or wind.
Imagine no global warming either.
Imagine the future.
Now imagine a giant boot stepping on the face of that imagination, that is reality.
That boot represents corporate fossil fuel interests.
That boot represents Republicans and a few Democrats who are afraid of doing the right thing.
That boot needs to disappear for anything good to happen.

Idiot of the Week
BP
The spill is headed towards the Atlantic now and these dildos didn't do anything to prepare for it. Shame on these fuckers.

Fake Pro-Life Anti-Choicers
I find this interesting:
Prior to having the abortion, a woman would have to view the ultrasound and listen to a doctor's description of it unless they declined in writing to do so, or unless they could prove they were seeking an abortion because of rape, incest, human trafficking or a threat to their health.
First off, I think that would insult a woman's intelligence and that is very sexist and second off, how can someone consider abortion murder if they allow it for incest or rape? I find that a major cop out. Is it automatically not murder if the daddy is brothers with the mommy or the daddy plays Lacrosse for Duke? That's the best part about being pro-choice, not having to be intellectually dishonest about anything.
