People are stupid
I just can’t help pointing these people out.
Send me a pic?
Jun 8th
It’s not that he sent a picture of something stuffed in his pants. (I don’t believe that was all real) People do that shit all the time. I’ve had pics sent to me and I’ve taken pics to send. Normal people do that. Smart people don’t send pics like that to strangers, but most of us have done something similar at one time or another.
It’s that he lied about it for days. Like he thought everyone was just stupid enough to believe whatever he spewed – like the size of his dick. Like he didn’t know that tattletales would crawl out of the woodwork and the media wouldn’t show every mistake he’s ever made. Just ask Tiger or Schwarzenegger. Ask the guy caught tapping shoes in the bathroom.
The man believed his constituents and everyone else in the country would fall for the “I was hacked” line. The man showed no respect for his wife, his staff or anyone else. What makes anyone think he’s got any more respect in his day job?
It’s about integrity. It’s about admitting when you make mistakes and taking responsibility, not telling bullshit stories in a lame attempt to cover your ass when any intelligent person knows it’s impossible to keep secrets once the media has a toehold. And if he can’t stick to his commitment to his wife, what makes you think he’ll stick to his commitment to his elected position?
Just another dog. Wait, dogs are more loyal than this asshole. Just another disloyal fucktard only thinking of himself.
Dear US News People
Apr 24th
Nobody gives a shit about the royal wedding. I did a poll.
In fact, most of my friends didn’t care soooo much they told me they didn’t even care enough to go to the poll.
We don’t want 24-hour coverage. We don’t want you to send anchors to report from the scene. We don’t give a shit. Seriously.
The most you need to do is post a couple of pictures after the event. Or report if anything goes wrong. Other than that, leave that poor boy alone. Hasn’t he had enough of you people in his life?

Michigan Menfolk
Apr 12th
I don’t know why I bother, really. I knew when I lived there and it’s been proven over and over again, at least to me. Men who are born and raised in Michigan and never leave? Turn out to be more backward-thinking, beer-swilling, woman-abusing, child-neglecting, ignorant fools than any Kentucky redneck.
Case in point, a conversation with my ex-step-sister’s son Ben who I haven’t actually seen since I babysat him when he was a toddler. I get comments from him on stuff I post on Facebook. Comments just proving Fux News and conspiracy theorists abound in his little bubble.
My post on Facebook:
Apparently they’ve already started running these. So much for CBS Cares. I’ve already signed, tweeted CBS and swore my most impressive curse words into thin air.
Anti-vaccine advocates Mercola and the National Vaccine Information Center are scheduled to run an anti-vaccine ad on CBS Outdoor’s JumboTron on 42nd…
Yesterday at 12:41pm · · · Share
- Benjamin Did you even watch the 21 second commercial? What is so wrong with that?
- Liza What is wrong with it?? Everything is wrong with it. It is NOT safe to not vaccinate. These are diseases that can be PREVENTED. Diseases that KILL. These people are idiots.
- Sharon Ben: No, the commercial in itself isn’t saying anything bad, but it directs you to a web site that’s anti-vax and promotes the myth that autism is caused by vaccines.
- Gill I have no issue with people being informed about vaccines, but the key word is INFORMED. That site is quoting studies which have been struck off medical journals. Even the advert should be saying ‘Vaccinations, know the BENEFITS, know the RISKS’.
- Benjamin I haven’t checked out the website but as for vaccines, it’s my choice right? I am not saying there isn’t some validity in the science of vaccinations, i simply do not trust the people creating/pushing them. Have you seen the video of Bill Gates saying we can do a good job reducing our population using vaccines?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WQtRI7A064 Or how about our government purposely infecting patients with syphilis, gonorrhea without their consent in the 1940s ? - Benjamin http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/39456324/ns/health-sexual_health/
MSNBC LINK - Shanna You can do a much better job reducing the population with polio, meningitis, and whooping cough.
- Benjamin They vaccinate for a lot more than just those three things…
- Debbie Actually Ben, it’s not your choice. Well yeah there’s ways around it, but when your kid gets whooping cough, or TB or any other thing they’re vaccinating against, so does every kid they come in contact with. And if enough people don’t vaccinate their kids you have whooping cough epidemic like they have in California.
- Debbie BTW, there is no conspiracy.
- Gill “I am not saying there isn’t some validity in the science of vaccinations” Yeah, there’s only SOME validity in the millions of lives around the world which have been saved because of vaccines since the first tests with cowpox/smallpox. That’s like saying there’s only SOME evidence to say the Earth orbits the sun.
- Gill Debbie, when it comes to herd immunity, I’m going to be the one on the side of the immunity, rather than take my chances on being the cow who dies of measles. I work with deaf children, and one of my signers started because her daughter was born deaf. Simply because she’d got rubella in pregnancy, because her mother didn’t agree with vaccinations.
- Gill Needless to say, the deaf daughter has had every jab offered!
- Debbie Herd immunity. Those are the words I was looking for. All it takes is one non-immunized kid to set off a chain reaction among all the other non-immunized kid at school. Watching kids get sick and/or die because their parents are ill-informed. It should be considered child abuse if you could have so easily prevented something and CHOSE not to. Don’t listen to the scary conspiracy theory people. Look at the facts from the CDC. There is valid information all over the internet. Being afraid is being lazy.
- Benjamin The CDC is the government. I could give you examples all day long but you don’t care. Just believe what your government tells you. They care so much, they are spending money rebuilding every other country on the planet, with your money, while much of New Orleans still sits in ruin. Besides that, the pharmaceutical industry makes money by treating symptoms, not curing people.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAHP5cL8MXE&feature=related Here is a clip of them telling us mercury is good for our children’s brains. I saw it on tv, it must be true. Look at history, it is by far the most important thing to study to learn everything you need to know. Human nature doesn’t change, we see what they have done in the past, we know what they will do in the future.
Are you for forced vaccinations? It says on your profile that you are a libertarian. How do you reconcile that?
And I am anything but afraid. - Benjamin http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/07/21/obamas-science-czar-considered-forced-abortions-sterilization-population-growth/ This man is currently the science czar for Obama. How can you say there is no conspiracy when I can show you article after article, of these people in power, stating they want global de-population, forced sterilization etc. To ignore them is foolish.
- Debbie Not forced by government, forced by common friggin’ sense. Yes, look around the world and see the benefits of vaccinations.
- Debbie Fox news? Fucks News more likely.
- Debbie I wouldn’t believe Fux News if they said the sky was blue.
- Benjamin Read the article and debunk it then.
- Gill have you read the text book, or just the bits that Fox have quoted?
- Benjamin http://www.examiner.com/conservative-politics-in-national/science-czar-john-p-holdren-s-disturbing-beliefs-about-america-capitalism-and-humanityGo pick up the book he co-authored and see for yourself. You can discredit the messenger, but not the facts. Here is one that is not Fox news.
- Benjamin @Gill, if they quote the book, it is still in the book right?
- Gill Also, any government, for any country should give aid to those countries less fortunate that ours. I’d hate it if the UK government didn’t give foreign aid. What right do we have to have a higher standard of living than necessary, when people are suffering from not having a clean water supply, or access to the most basic of health care.
- Gill Context is everything, @benjamin.
- Benjamin Gill, if you believe we should lower our standard of living because it’s not fair, then I can’t even talk to you because we are from 2 completely different worlds.
- Debbie It says so right in the article: “Straining to conclude otherwise from passages treating controversies of the day in a three-author, 30-year-old textbook is a mistake.”
- Gill Benjamin, I’m ending this conversation because I don’t think you actually have any compassion to humans other than yourself, nor the brain capacity to realise we live on one Earth and resources should be shared.
- Benjamin Then give your house and car away. I’m tired of people talking the talk, and not walking the walk. Do you have a cell phone, internet access, a refrigerator, a microwave? Go to the city, pick a homeless person, and give all your stuff away then. You live in the lap of luxury and decry our way of life. I’m sick of you feel good liberals. You are a hypocrite.
- Gill I give away a good proportion of my earnings every month to children’s charities and Amnesty international. I don’t need to give away my things to make the world better, I need to give a proportion of my wealth, that I’ve been luckily enough to accumulate due to free education and a strong family unit who brought me up to see right from wrong, to others in need of it.
- Benjamin And as far as giving money to other countries, THERE ARE CITIES AND PEOPLE IN OUR OWN COUNTRY THAT DIE FROM STARVATION AND LACK OF MEDICINES, SHELTER ETC. Why give it to zimbabway when we have people we can help here?
- Gill I do not need to put myself into a poverty situation to not be a hypocrite, I need to ensure that my impact in this world is a positive one.
- Gill LACK OF MEDICINES – wasn’t that why Obama was trying to make health care fairer? I pay a proportion of my wages to National Insurance every month, that provides free health care to a high standard for anyone in this country.
- Benjamin Well, it is simple math. The entire world cannot be wealthy and have it like we do. There is simply not enough to go around. So to be perfectly fair, we must all be dirt ass poor living in mud huts and eating insects.
- Debbie Gill, I thought you were quitting the argument. Some people just can’t think outside their box. Or Fox, as it were. Annnnnd if everyone immunized their kids, the proportion of necessary health care woes would decrease significantly.
- Gill I am…, I am…
- Benjamin You think the health care bill was to help people? It was admittedly written by the big insurance companies. I’ve already illustrated that they don’t care about us. Why on earth do people trust their government? Again, look at history.
- Benjamin For the last time Debbie, I don’t watch Fox news. They are controlled propaganda, just like the rest of em.
Thanks to Gill and the others for attempting to discuss. You just can’t change the mind of a Michigan man without getting him the fuck out of Michigan first. Anti-government? All you have to do to debunk government conspiracy theories is to work for the government for any length of time. You’ll soon realize they’re just way too disorganized to conspire anything effective. It ain’t perfect but it’s better than most.
I pissed HER off?
Mar 12th
I was at this comedy club with friends last night having a great time. I’d asked for water and they bring it in a bottle I guess so they can charge you for it, right? So when the show was over and everyone was being directed out the side door I took my half-full bottle of water with me.
Squishing through the door… girl at the door says “oh you can’t take that with you” and I’m stunned. It’s water! Whatever, so I look around for a trash can or something… nope. I can’t go back into the venue as there’s like 20 people behind me trying to get out! So I wedged the bottle between her folded arms and say, “if you want it, here it is” and keep walking.
As I’m filing down the steps she says snarkily, “Thanks for being so understanding and polite. I’m just doin’ my JOB!” Louder and louder to be sure I and everyone else hears her.
Fine, sure, do your job. But when you don’t have a receptacle for people to toss things in what are they supposed to do with them? What did she want me to do? Really? Suckit bitch. She’s lucky I didn’t march back up those steps and shove it up her ass.
Fucking ridiculous over a bottle of water. It’s Arizona, people carry water everywhere.
Need a phone book?
Feb 28th
Nope, neither do I. Who actually uses phone books anymore?
All right, sure, there are still some elderly or Luddites out there that need a new phone book every 6 months, but the rest of us have moved on to various applications on the Internet, right?
And yet, AND YET here there is another useless bag o’ phone books outside my door. What a waste of perfectly good paper that could be used for something better, something useful.
Why are they still delivering them door-to-door? Why can’t they maybe leave a stack at a central neighborhood location like the post office and people can pick up a new one whenever they choose?
Sorry, but this bag will go directly into the garbage (because there’s no place to recycle it here) along with just about everyone else’s. And I’m resentful that I have to pick it up like a wet bag of dog doo and dispose of it at all.
What a waste.
Gorram Cox again!
Feb 20th
Jesus Christ Cox, for an Internet provider you sure don’t understand how things should work, do you?
Let’s go back, last month I tried to arrange to MOVE my services to a new address. I went though your step-by-step instructions numerous times and it just pushes you to choose/start new services. I liked what I had and I didn’t want to think about it, I just wanted to MOVE it. Shit.
Ended up having to call in, nope you have to start new service.
That’s just stupid.
Then I had that rigmarole with actually getting my services to work in this new apartment.
That was stupid #2.
So my McAfee “Cox Security Suite” kept popping up the you-need-to-renew thing, and every time I would click on “renew” absolutely NOTHING happened. I’d go to the website and log in and all it shows is my OLD information. I don’t know my new account number until I get a bill. So I wait.
Meanwhile, that renew button just taunts me.
Now your old information doesn’t transfer to your new account, you have to reregister and basically start over. Losing your old email address and not being able to re-use the old login name.
That’s stupid #3.
Here’s how it should work just in case you want to, you know, get it right:
- I should be able to add an account number or change account numbers with my existing user information so I don’t lose email addresses, etc.
- I shouldn’t have to get a new account number if I’m moving my entire package to a new address. You’re flipping switches, it ain’t that hard. Off here, on there, done.
- Your “Cox Security Suite” should renewal should work. Right now that renew button does Jack.
- I shouldn’t have to uninstall and reinstall McAfee. There should be a way to, oh I dunno, simply transfer the old serial number.
- Steps on your website should work. I should NOT have to call in for any of this. I should be able to do it all online and have it work. And there’s too much crap on every page making it difficult to find the exact step you need.
I’m pissed off, Cox. I just want Internet/TV service and you’ve been the most pain-in-the-ass company I’ve dealt with this entire move. Great ISP, one that just doesn’t get it.
Some people!

There appeared to be some sort of business meeting this morning at my local McDonalds. Five men and one woman who – as I walked by to the bathroom – was telling the men how hard it was for her to get to 7:45 meetings and pointed to the child sitting next to her.
My thought? Way to be professional and whine about your kid. IN FRONT of your kid. That’s a great way to advance women being taken seriously in business.
Cut to a little while later, SmallChild and I were alone in the playland and this woman popped her head in and asked me if I had planned on being there for a while. Yeah. Could I keep an eye on her kid? Sure. Off she went. SmallChild was happy she finally had someone to play with.
So maybe 15 minutes later this woman comes in to get her kid, bustles her into her shoes and coat and leaves out the side door without a word.
Whatever happened to Thank You?
It’s not like I did anything. BUT, had some rotten kid came in and hassled the girls I was prepared to defend them both. If/when the bad man tried to steal her kid, I would have stepped up to stop him. I mean, I accepted responsibility for her kid and she can’t say thank you?

My friend Ruthie - taken by MrAnathema
So Sunday was our 3rd Annual NoPantsAZ Day on the light rail. There are some pictures on flickr tagged #nopantsaz if you want to go wander through them. It was a bit chilly but I managed to keep up when the whole group strutted down Mill Ave to Robbie Fox’s for drinks and then back to the light rail. Good fun… such good fun I just spent the rest of the day pantless.
Also, I managed to get approved for my new apartment so I finished the day making arrangements for utilities and stuff.
Monday night I had Kira and for some stupid reason we decided to pincurl her hair. She sat still for me to do the front and top, but there was no way in hell she’d let me do her whole head.
As you can see, she wasn’t pleased. I think it’s adorable but she complained all day. I’m pretty sure as soon as her Daddy saw it (and more than likely laughed) she showered it out. Oh well.
Speaking of hair, for some reason I have sores all over my scalp. Maybe it’s a side effect from something I’m taking or more likely, it’s an allergic reaction to something I’ve eaten. I’m beginning to think my fondness for pistachios is causing that and possibly the difficulty with breathing I have periodically and coincidentally after ingesting more than my fair share. I’m really gonna hate giving up pistachios.
What else…
I’m planning – hoping – to get down to Tucson on Thursday to stand as silent guard at the funeral of Christina Green. There are a couple of groups getting together to stand silently arm-in-arm to block any possible hate-spewing by the Westboro Assholes. I want to go, but between the 5000 local residents and if the President or First Lady shows up, it might be better for us non-locals to stay out of the way. Still not sure.
Yes, I’m still slightly bitter about my failed attempt to get to the Jon Stewart Rally. My poor health and ability to walk distances might make the whole Tucson mission impossible for me. But I really want to, to stand against the WBC, to provide what little protection I can for a grieving family, and to show that Atheists have compassion and honor.
Excuse me?

Who the fuck are you?
I’m watching the Kennedy Center Honors and among my other tweets was this one:
Carol Channing is still alive? Huh.
Which really means… good for her? How about that? Isn’t that great? Or along those lines. I didn’t say the old bat should be dead, I simply noted my surprise that she’s still out there kicking musical theater ass. She was never one of my favorite performers but kudos on her for still going strong.
And I get this tweet back:
@RichardSkipper Richard Skipper@spellwight Carol Channing is a dear friend. Your tweet is VERY offensive to her friends and family! SHAME
Really? This guy must be searching for Carol Channing tweets just to bitch slap anyone who isn’t in love with her. He certainly isn’t a regular follower of mine.
GET A LIFE!
People are VERY offended by an off-hand tweet from some middle aged broad in Arizona? What is the world coming to? Of course I responded:
@RichardSkipper Dude, if my little question was offensive y’all need a tougher skin. I’m often surprised I’m still alive. Bite me.
Don’t even think of correcting my behavior on twitter unless you know me. I might listen to my friends but the rest of you can kiss my ass. You wanna be the twitter police? Go after someone who gives a shit.
Isn't that speshal?

Wow. Seriously. Check this out. As if the Creation Museum wasn’t bad enough, now they’re seriously planning to build an Ark Park, a theme park with a replica ark. Complete with penned animals IN THE ARK TOGETHER.
No matter that there are recognized standards for space and relative location to predatory animals.
Let me say I’m no big huge fan of animals. I find PETA extremes laughable. But I think if man takes an animal out of the wild he has a responsibility to keep it in as close it’s environment as possible. Roaming animals need room to roam, cold animals need cold, etc. And I don’t approve of even house pets being penned up for any length of time. It’s inconceivable to me that these people are okay with penning LIVE animals up inside a wooden building for display. Just to show now Noah and his family would have handled the management of these animals.
You know, that Noah bible story from that book written by old guys a couple of thousand years ago? That book that so many base their lives on… their Christian ideals. Do unto others and all that bullshit?
And if that’s not bad enough, they want to use Government incentives to build it.
See? This is why Atheists are “attacking” Christians. Because they continue to change/break the rules of this country whenever they choose, and we’re supposed to suck it up and keep quiet. If they wanted to pay for the whole thing themselves and use animatronic animals, I’d have no problem with it. Oh, I’d still find it laughable and stupid, but to each his own. Go for it. But when you think you’re above or beyond the rules the rest of us live by, that’s where I get pissed.
And by the way, I’m hearing a lot about Atheists “attacking” Christians. Kind of like Christians have historically attacked everyone who doesn’t think just like them – and even amongst themselves – for centuries? No, Atheists haven’t killed or maimed or even penned up anyone. We’re smarter than that.
It feels to me that the atheist/skeptic/they’re overstepping their bounds group is getting stronger. Or is it just cuz I’m in it? And then “they” do something stupid like cover up the mass molestations of innocent children or build arks and I feel just that much… righter.
Come join me on the dark side.
