Is is wrong that I always want Bowie to dress up as the Goblin King to sing that?
Is there anything you wouldn't want him to dress up as the Goblin King to do?
I'm eleven hundred and twenty years old! Just gimme a friggin' beer!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm not even sure I see it as a realistic eventual threat - with 19 kids at home, who has time to go out and vote anyway?
Oh, I'm sure Jim Bob could make time. I mean, Michelle's home with the kids, and she won't be voting anyway, right?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
they're apparently part of Quiverfull,
Huh. Wikipedia said the Duggars have explicitly disavowed any connection to Quiverfull; their impression of Quiverfull is that it's all about endless childbearing as a grim duty and an obligation, whereas they themselves are choosing to do it for pleasure. Still wildly excessive, but a slightly different flavor.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Like, say, renew a drivers license at the DMV?

I have a Quiverfull... in my pants!
OK, that was a dumb joke, but maybe someone will laugh anyway....

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I don't have any comment on Jesse's whackadoo plan but I did want to link to this article about what a huge difference T makes to athletic performance: [link]
I haven't paid enough attention to what the Duggars actually say to know if this applies to them, but I don't mind people believing things I don't, as long as they can leave me alone to go another way. Aside from the "demographic superiority" bit, because I guess eventually they would take over the world, but I don't see that as an imminent threat.
I don't so much care about the existence of the movement, either, I just think the show is misleading. They have an extreme lifestyle, no doubt. But it's not because they just love children and happiness and puppies, you know? It's because they are warriors seeking to outnumber people of other beliefs. And the show doesn't ever address that. The commercials are nauseatingly cutesy.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

In this modern age of camera phones everywhere, I can't see a downside.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Obviously not.

Where are you getting the warrior thing?

Er...no?
Y'all are gonna make me look up stuff on the Duggars, right?
