American Family Association: Stone To Death Killer Whale Who Killed Trainer


"KILL THAT WHALE! STONE THAT WHALE!! I'M GONNA THROW MY LAST THREE TEETH AT 'EM!! BABY JESUS WANTS THAT WHALE DEEAADD!!"

They want to STONE THE WHALE TO DEATH.

And, American Family Association Pins SeaWorld Death On Lack Of Christianity: ‘Bible Ignored, Trainer Died’

OF COURSE, that's what it was. That was my very first thought too.

People really need to stop taking the bible so literally. It's super embarrassing. Stupid, really. Super stupid. Psychotic and super stupid. And it's just bad form. It's like they're 5 year olds amped up on Mountain Dew right before bedtime. Do you know what I mean? Little assholes fucking bouncing off the walls...

Idiocy at its finest.

Let us get on to at least some logic... even if it is without panties...

I told you some time back that Sharon Stone and I think that saving whales is really hot. Remember that? I thought you might.

Well, before we get on with the task at hand, I thought you might want to see some true majesty. The following photos from a diver swimming with a 50ft Humpback Whale (and NOT in a fish tank, bishes) are a contribution from my sista, Suebob. Thanks, baby!



You guys, you've GOT to click on these images to make them larger... Or visit the link to their origin above. They're too incredible not to.

So, in relation to the enslavement of Orcas and dolphins for our "entertainment"... Of having WHALES do TRICKS in a FISH TANK...

Joyce Tischler, founder of and general counsel for Animal Legal Defense Fund:
"She compares an orca’s life in captivity in a tank to keeping a human being in a bathtub for his entire life."
(From DawnWatch) For the full Christian Science Monitor article: Death of Sea World trainer: Do 'killer whales' belong in theme parks?

Revenge At SeaWorld: Orca Attack Shouldn’t Come As Any Surprise

And if you're so inclined, you may Tell SeaWorld: Free Tilly, and No Wild Orca For Entertainment! It's easy.

"The time has come to view captivity of whales and dolphins as a part of our history... Not a tragic part of our future."

The Hypocrites Should Be Called Out As Such

These petty, short-sighted, small-minded, reactionaries. They're hindering progress. And are extreme detriments to the evolution of this country and its people.

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

1. Republicans proposed a deficit commission. President Obama endorsed the idea so then Republicans decided they‘re against it.

2. Republicans proposed pay-as-you-go rules for budgeting. President Obama endorsed the idea. Then Republicans decided they were against it too.

3. Republicans who voted for the bank bailout are now criticizing President Obama for that same bank bailout.

4. Republicans supported President Bush‘s policy of trying terrorism suspects in U.S. courts. Now that President Obama is implementing that same policy, they decided they‘re against that now, too.

5. Republicans supported a cap-and-trade policy against global warming. Now that President Obama is trying to pass that same policy, Republicans have decided - say it with me now - they‘re against that, too.

6. Bobby Jindal, governor of Louisiana has railed against the stimulus, then gone around the state handing out big fake checks with his own name on them as if the money came from him instead of from the stimulus that he‘s been railing against.

7. Then, there‘s Congressman Phil Gingrey of Georgia. That‘s him getting all Publisher‘s Clearinghouse with a giant check for funds that he voted against and criticized as worst than worthless. He called the money and that check he‘s holding a boondoggle and a dismal failure.

8. Republican John Mica of Florida trashed the stimulus, voted no, then praised its effect in his home district as “helping improve one of our key economic generators.” "I applaud President Obama's recognition that high-speed rail should be part of America's future," the Florida Republican beamed in a press release.

Cracked Egg Heads And Devolution

So, many of you have probably already heard about the evolutionary link that was discovered that predates "Lucy". They announced it last week.

Before Lucy Came Ardi


How CUTE is she? With that bowl cut around her head? And women with a little bit of fur on them does it for me EVERY TIME. "OH yeah, baby. You like it when Papa rubs the fur on your shoulders like that? Yeah? What about all that fur on your tummy and right above your boobie-doobies? Yeah? Mama likes? NOW, MAMA GETS A SPANKIN'! MAMA GETS A SPANKIN' ON HER FURRY BUMBUM!! What's with all the whooppin' and hollerin', baby?? You no likey? Oh... Thanks for the banana."

The only thing is the size of her hands...


If you pissed her off she would SO JACK YOU UP, BRO.
PLUS, Those hands would TOTALLY make a dude's peep look really small. So, BOM CHICKA FUR BALL would end in the sound of a scratching record. zzzrrrrtttttttt. "Baby... Can't you do anything about those hands? Like at the VERY LEAST, don't open them up, okay? Because all the other furballs over there watching us will start laughing again."

Now, one thing that they found that they didn't announce was that "Ardi" had more intelligence 4.4 million years ago than the following idiots put together.

George W. actually made a plea HIMSELF last year requesting the Olympics in Chicago. As MOST leaders of countries do from nations that are possibilities for hosting the Olympics. So, sorry to disappoint the haters... It was nothing new for President Obama to do this.

It just really astounds me. When we lived in Santa Barbara, and being a veteran myself, we marched against the pending war in Iraq. And I continued to march against the war after we invaded. I was ardently against the George W. Bush Administration's policies and I'm sure you remember me going on and on about it if you've been reading this blog for that long.

However, I NEVER wanted to see that administration fail. I WANTED to be proven wrong. I WANTED to be the one mistaken. If they hadn't noticed, if our administration fails, so does the lot of us. So, does the country.

As the Americans I was led to believe we are, we should be caring for PEOPLE, not egos.

So, it just really blows me away the amount of petty rhetoric flying around from these rogue conservatives. And what blows me away EVEN MORE is that the conservatives that DON'T BELIEVE the shit flying out of these assholes' mouths (appropriately... shit flying out of assholes... get it? ha.) aren't standing up more and speaking out.

Let's start with,


Rotten Teeth Rove laughing about how everyone is running from the stench of his pie-hole. Yeah, we get it, Karl. You either eat mash potatoes 24/7 or your disgusting teeth are about to join your brain in hell and fall out.

Speaking of hell;


Satan Cheney, trying his best impression of Elvis Presley's curled lip. It's not working, Satan. No one has EVER found you sexy. Just scary.


And Lou Dobbs demonstrating how he prefers fisting to commence up his hole with just one finger. You gotta start somewhere, right Lou? You stupid fuck. (Lou Dobbs should never have "Talking smack" coming out of his mouth. Not ever. You're such a fucking idiot, Lou. Now, go make yourself useful and sit on a fist. Preferably your own.)


Freakhead Beck blubbering AGAIN. He's just amazing... I'm actually in awe of how fucking psycho he is. What happened here was HE wanted to be the one fisting Lou. Just look at him looking up at Lou pleading. But, Lou said, "No, thanks. Once Kevin Charnas told me that I could do it all by myself, I'm never leaving the house again." Sorry, Glenn... Still crying? Yep. Silly question.


And Angry Blimp Limbaugh responding to a reporter's question about how he plans on spontaneously combusting one of these days,


just like the Hindenburg.

But, I have a feeling that his fireball would take on a different form,


In the ultimate fuck you to the world. We would be so lucky.

So...

After seeing all these angry straight white men, something about their similarities (appearances - I know, I'm shallow) struck me and reminded me of someone I knew as a child...


This dumbass.



And we all know what happened to Humpty Dumpty...


Although, sticking with that similarity theme, I think they were a little cracked to begin with.

So, hopefully you're laughing a little bit. Hopefully a lot. But, you may be not be convinced yet about Ardi's superior intelligence to the above egg heads.


Well, besides Ardi being adorable with her bowl-cut and her huge hands, it was HIGHLY unlikely that she would behave in a manner that would be a detriment to her group or her world.
