Notice that in his [Chuck's] article he says 2/3 of Americans support abortions being legal.
Also, he says that earmarks made up a terrifying 0.39% of the spending bill. Of course my opinion skews that since I don't think there is anything intrinsically bad about earmarks. I consider it part of my representative's job. My congress person has received earmarks for terrible things like infrastructure and a battered woman's shelter. Wasteful spending is bad but earmarks don't always == wasteful spending.
Oh god. That celebrity nativity has GWB as one of the 3 wise men...just, no.
Oh, and Rush Limbaugh is outraged that insurance might be required to cover mammograms and medical care for injuries from domestic abuse.
God forbid that health care insurance should cover essential health care.
I keep seeing this bumper sticker around here that says virtually the same thing, like "If Mary were Pro-Choice, there wouldn't be a Christmas."
Er, right. Because being pro-choice obviously means you favor only one possible choice. Which would make it...not so much of a choice.

Mary should cover up the baby Jesus' little infant ears for a moment, because I have to say...Rush Limbaugh can go fuck himself sideways with a rusty fucking chainsaw.
STUPID POISONOUS PEOPLE GET THE FUCK OFF MY PLANET. IT'S CHRISTMASTIME. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?
Mary may now take her hands off the baby's ears. I'm done, for at least the next eight minutes.
Please note - I do not believe that Mary was raped by God or any such thing. But that bumper sticker pisses me off. I hope I did not offend any one. If I did, my sincere apologies.
I will defend Rush on one point. His job is essentially to piss people off, it's what he does for a living. It should make him irrelevant like Ann Coulter has pretty much done to herself, but he's good enough at being just plausible enough that he hasn't gone irrelevant yet.

I was not offended, yet I was going to be all pedantic (no! surely not!) and point out that she said yes, which makes it not rape. Instead it makes it the incredibly-difficult-to-explain-to-family scenario of "No, SERIOUSLY. It's *God's* baby! I'm not making this up!"

Get a new damn job. I suggest Walmart stockboy. Or hermit.
Where's javachik? She's the cable company magic bill reducer, right?

One of the jokes that shows up every year is about how they had to cancel the Congressional Christmas pagent. Couldn't find three wise men and a virgin.
