Front of card:
“Natural rights are grounded in human nature. Human nature is a rational substance in relationship. The intelligible end of the reproductive act is reproduction. Do you understand that?” (via TPM)
Inside of card: We’re having a babby!
I think I just found the perfect pregnancy announcement. Now I just need to pick out a font…and have a babby.
This is going to be my afternoon, at this point it’s just a matter of picking a role to play.
WTF CPD
“As an investigation intensified into the burglary that a Chicago police sergeant was responding to when he fatally crashed on Lake Shore Drive, department officials called today for the stiffest penalties possible should anyone be arrested.” (via CBN)
Whoa, that right there is some Wicker Man-type shit. Unless I’m missing something, this is between the CPD and an icy patch of road.
Yeah, the officer was responding to a burglary, but hopefully I don’t need to explain how causation works or the random nature of tragedy and the human condition to the effin’ Chicago Police Department.
Let these hopped-up avenging officers go sodomize a tree with a baton or salt the shit out of Lake Shore Drive if that’s what it takes…anything else would just be r-worded.
I think I’m just going to turn this into a GIF and let it run forever.
There’s a lyrics page for This Will Destroy You’s “They Move on Tracks of Never-Ending Light”…this amuses me.
Rights vs “Rights”
“I am pretty sure I met the next leader of the conservative movement during a three-day confab of activists that wrapped up Saturday here in the nation’s capital. I definitely shook hands with a future congressman or maybe even a governor.
“Maybe it was the 14-year-old conservative wonder-kid Jonathan Krohn, who champions ‘conservatism based on reality’ and was a prominent speaker at the Conservative Political Action Conference…or the 24-year-old recent graduate of Bridgewater College who now helps conservative and libertarian students maintain their rights on largely liberal college campuses.”

I’d be pretty interested to know what “rights” CNN POLITICAL EDITOR Mark Preston thinks are being threatened. Additionally, I’d be interested to know just how stupid Mark Preston is to have written that sentence.
Seriously.
You know what makes this incredibly catchy Free Credit Report dot com jingle the worst?
Knowing that they’re a bunch of sleazy con-artists.
The only possible thing out there that could cause more conflict between my musical and moral sensibilities is a Kevin Trudeau rap record produced by DJ Premiere.

Oh damn cable TV, this couch just got a whole lot more unleavable.
