Why Do They Deserve This?

Un-fucking-believable.

Fred Phelps is a fucking moron. Does he even have a functioning brain anymore? What, were these poor kids members of the Sodomy Squadron or something?

Seriously. What. The. FUCK?!

A big hat tip to Pam's House Blend for the 411.

--Weasel, finding that her migraine has come screaming back at double strength....

Mixed Nuts

With plenty of cashews for your enjoyment!

A Brazilian woman claims her cat just had... wait for it: puppies!
Can we say "genetically impossible"? Of course we can!

The residents of Shiloh, IL. are crapping their collective pants over a picture book dealing with gay penguins. Ummm, ut-oh. There goes the idea that gays make lousy parents.

Oh, and PETA needs to do a little research. Way to go, guys!

And lastly, a Public Service Announcement: If you live near a port, keep your cat indoors! 'Nuff said.

And this has been your helping of "Mixed Nuts". Hope you've enjoyed your serving. Until next time, this is......

--Weasel, signing off.

Saying "Hi" to Kathy Griffin

Yep, I'm a D-lister. Yay me. :)

Truly Frightening

Found this little gem while surfing the net. I warn you, this is not for the faint of heart.

A big thank you goes out to Fundies Say the Darnedest Things!

Where Have You Gone, America?

Where have you gone?

The combined $39.1 million bond for the workers and their supporters is far and above the normal amount of bail set for people accused of even violent crimes in Harris County. While each of the non-violent protestors is being held on $888,888 bail ...

* For a woman charged with beating her granddaughter to death with a
sledgehammer, bail was set at $100,000;

* For a woman accused of disconnecting her quadriplegic mother's breathing
machine, bail was set at $30,000;

* For a man charged with murder for stabbing another man to death in a bar
brawl, bail was set at $30,000;

* For janitors and protesters charged with Class B misdemeanors for past
non-violent protests, standard bail has been set at $500 each.

More than 5,300 Houston janitors are paid $20 a day with no health insurance, among the lowest wages and benefits of any workers in America.

Only in America. So much for the terrorists hating us because we're free.

--Weasel, left to cry "America my country, where have you gone?"

"He's Thinking for Himself...! Get Him!"

So much for the idea that college campuses are liberal havens.

At least the victim is suing over this bullshit.

Thanks to AmericaBlog for the update.

Weasel, "This is some serious bullshit!"

Welcome to Amerikka

I cannot fucking believe this.

It is the most sickening thing I've ever seen.

What the fuck happened to my goddamned country?

Seriously, what the FUCK?! What the in the hell happened to my country? How in the flying fuck could something as gods awful as this happen in a "free society" such as ours?

This goes beyond the pale. I'm too pissed to even think straight.

Maybe this'll help calm me down.

I leave you with this:

Now, this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for

Your Public Service Announcement

Birth control: It's a damn good idea!

In Honor of My Fucking Ex

In memory of my ex, aka Frankie the Fuck-Up, I post this little gem from YouTube.



Let the healing begin, baby.

Something's Rotten in Denmark

Actually, it's the US, but you get the idea.

"Peterson objected to the interrogation techniques used on prisoners. She refused to participate after only two nights working in the unit known as the cage. Army spokespersons for her unit have refused to describe the interrogation techniques Alyssa objected to. They say all records of those techniques have now been destroyed. ...".

.............

"But on the night of September 15th, 2003, Army investigators concluded she shot and killed herself with her service rifle," the documents disclose.

Riiiiiiiiiight. To quote Baby Herman: "The whole thing stinks like yesterday's diapers."

Massive thanks to Jesus' General for giving us the 411.

--Weasel, "The truth? You can't handle the truth!"

Today

Today is a special day indeed: it is Dan Gilvezan's birthday.

Dan is a true celebrity in every sense of the word: funny, charming down-to-Earth and a wonderful human being. I am extremely fortunate that I was given the opportunity to meet him twice. He is an example of Hollywood's finest.

Have a wonderful day, Dan. The world's a much better place with you in it.

This Had Better be a Fucking Joke

For the love of God people, please tell me this is a fucking joke.

If it ain't, I'm gonna need morphine for the migraine that will result from this bit of idiocy.

Seriously, wow.

--Weasel, who just broke her brain reading that little "piece".

STFU!

I mean, damn! How fucking stupid do ya gotta be?

Referring to the recent rash of deadly assaults at schools, Mallory said books that promote evil — as she claims the Potter ones do — help foster the kind of culture where school shootings happen. That would not happen if students instead read the Bible, Mallory said.

No, instead we would have daily stonings. Or daily burnings at the stake. Or daily... oh fuck it. You get the idea.

Bitch, please. Your fifteen microseconds of fame are over. Now please dissipate like the fart in the wind you are. You'll be doing the world a favor.

--Weasel, looks like somebody needs a nice, tall glass of "Go fuck yourself, dumbass".

One Last Update

I'll be on vacation for most of the week. When I get back, I'll update.

A quick aside: DA, I wish you could be there, man. I'm really gonna miss you.

--Weasel, needs this vacation bad

Fuck You, American

Seriously, fuck you.

I refuse to fly your airline ever again. I hope you asshats go bankrupt.

--Weasel, "Someone needs to have their ass fired for this bullshit."

Score!

I got a really cool surprise when I checked the mail today: my Mew DS (which I laid claim to most loudly) was sitting with the rest of the mail.

It's in pretty good shape, for a used game system. I just need to bust out my DS starter kit, which is sitting in a layaway, and find the Mew DS top cover (doink, found it, thanks be to Prime for braving a box forest) I ordered from the Pokémon Center and I'll be ready. Ready to wait for the next six months to pass so I can get my hands on Diamond and Pearl...or more accurately, whichever of the two I will actually play, as Prime will get the other.

Things seem pretty quiet on the job front. My transfer is now in motion. I have no idea when everything will be finalized. It may take a bit; I'm one of a large group of associates who are trying to transfer out. No one enjoys their jobs anymore.

We are hemorrhaging associates. We are down 30 cashiers, have fewer people on the sales floor and in ICS, and the management is now trying like hell to hire new people. Not that they'll last. New associates never last more than a few weeks.

Oh well, enough of the downer. I'm going to admire my DS.

--Weasel, thinking of getting a few DS games to help ease the pain of waiting. Trozei, Nintendogs, maybe Magnetica for Prime if he's good...

Steve Would NOT Approve!

Seriously, stop it.

Acting like this will not bring Steve Irwin back. And do you honestly believe he would approve of this behavior? I sincerely doubt it. So, whoever is doing this: knock it off. NOW.

End of Summer

The calendar may still say summer, but I beg to differ. The leaves are beginning to change, the nights are getting cooler, the days are steadily growing shorter.

This sucks.

I really didn't have a chance to enjoy summer and poof, now it's gone. Never got a chance to hit the pool or the lake. Never got a chance to take a nice, long walk in the park. Never got enough free time to do anything I wanted.

On the bright side, I have vacation (and BotCon!) coming up in a couple of weeks. Gods, how I need the time away.

It'll feel damn good to see my friends again, to hang out, shoot the shit, and forget about my lousy job.

BotCon can't come soon enough.

--Weasel, "Nineteen days and counting."

Fuck You, Disney

Seriously. Fuck you.

And a big old go fuck yourself, Scholastic.

Gods, how I wish another studio had gotten the rights to distribute Studio Ghilbi's films here in the states. Then I could completely cut that craphole called Disney out of my life.

--Weasel, "The Ministry of Truth couldn't be prouder."

Fade to Black

"Conserving koala bears is easy. When it comes to conserving the nasties like spiders, snakes and crocodiles, and things that kill you and eat you, it's a different story to get people to value those animals. People say, 'What the hell are you conserving them for?' and he made a strong contribution in making people think a lot more about the values of conserving these animals."

So long, Steve. I'll miss you. You did one helluva job.
