The problem with this world is there are more people who think they are funny than there are people who are funny.
(raises hand) Yeah, sorry about that. I'm taking medication, now.
I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

I was probably wearing vinyl pants? Was that the year I wrote porn on napkins and the con drank the hotel bar out of tequila on the first night?
Um. Was that the second con? That was definitely the year I met jean and Shan (and couldn't believe how pretty Shan was).

29 is easy. You can do 29 standing on your head. I think it's wonderful that you've been able to become so very shrift in that short a time.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
(raises hand) Yeah, sorry about that. I'm taking medication, now.
See? The perfect example of someone who thinks he's funny, yet in fact is funny.

I think the perfect example is anyone who said "'29 for the first time?' And yet, nobody has forcibly removed your vocal chords through your anus. Peculiar ol' world we live in, ain't it?"

I think so. I didn't make it to the first con, which apparently was in October of '98. Actually, I think I was in Italy and soon to return home from a life abroad!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Aww, yeah, this. Happy birthday, and may the asshats of the day remain in the realm of the amusingly mockable!

Really, in my mind, the progression goes:

This is just so fucked up that it's funny. Or something....
Liberals want your kids to get clapped up
Why not start the new year with an example of what we mean when we refer to movement conservatives at not being part of the reality based community.
Wendy Wright is president of Concerned Women for America, a group that was originally founded by Beverly LaHaye as a counter-balance to the dangerous feminist tendencies of the National Organization for Women. They are a well financed group that is against gay rights, Harry Potter, abortion, sex-ed, most forms of birth control, pornography, stem cell research, the United Nations, vaccinating girls against the human papillomavirus (HPV), and hate crime legislation. They are for prayer in public schools, teaching intelligent design, abstinence-only sex-ed, the Biblical design of the family, and treating homosexuality as a dangerous, but curable, mental illness. They have been a major player on the religious right for almost thirty years.
Appearing on the December 31st edition of Fox News’ Special Report Wright had this to say about those who support comprehensive sex ed in the schools:
In fact, they want to encourage [kids to choose to have sex] because they benefit when kids end up having sexually transmitted diseases, unintended pregnancies and then they lead them into having abortions, so you have to look at the financial motives behind those who are promoting comprehensive sex ed.
Interestingly, she was not laughed out of the studio.
Really, what can one say?
