Equal Protection Under The Law: If women are going to be subject to murder charges for choosing to have an abortion or for using birth control...
If The U.S. Constitution Requires Equal Protection Under The Law...
And, if women are going to be subject to murder charges for choosing to have an abortion or for using birth control...
Then men who masturbate should be arrested for mass murder.
Period.

"Jobs? What Jobs?" GOP States Pushing Lady Parts Legislation. (Video From The Rachel Maddow Show)
"First, they came for women's health-care in Texas.
But, I didn't speak out. I didn't protest. Why should I? I don't live in Texas, therefore what they do in Texas doesn't affect me - not personally.
Then, they came for women's health care in Georgia.
But, I didn't speak out. I didn't protest. Why should I? I don't live in Georgia and what they do in Georgia doesn't affect me.
Then, they came for women's health care in South Dakota... in Indiana... in New Jersey...
And again, I simply did nothing, because I don't live in those states and nothing they do in them affects me.
And then, they came for women's health-care in Pennsylvania - where the (male) Governor (R) told the women of that state to: "Just close your eyes".
But, I didn't speak out. I didn't protest. Why should I? I don't live in Texas, therefore what they do in Texas doesn't affect me - not personally.

Despite my overwhelming desire to give the Gov. a (steel-toed boot) kick to the groin... I did nothing.
Why should I? I don't live in Pennsylvania. What they do in Pennsylvania doesn't affect me.
Then, they came for women's health-care in Louisiana.
And again, I did nothing. I don't live in Louisiana. So, whatever they're doing in Louisiana doesn't affect me.
In each of these instances, I took no action.
Sure, I may have thought, "Wow! That really sucks for the women who live there.".
Sure, I may have thought, "Wow! That really sucks for the women who live there.".
I definitely felt for them...
But, beyond that, I did nothing.
I kept telling myself that it simply wasn't my problem.
I told myself that (thankfully) I don't live in those states, so whatever back-a**wards things they were doing in them just didn't affect me - not personally.
Even now, their festering march continues...
Today... tomorrow... next week... next month...
They keep coming for women's health-care...
And now? I'm beginning to worry."
And now? I'm beginning to worry."

Newt Gingrich Defends The Catholic Church... And Is Swallowed By A Snake - The Daily Show
In the 2008 Presidential Race, Republicans prophesied many, er, creative "Be Afraid... Be Very Afraid." potential outcomes in their "If-Obama-becomes-President"-dystopian tirades.
None, of course, came to fruition.
Now, in 2012, how will those same Republican wrong-nosticators top themselves?
Here's one GOP candidate's recent declaration:
"He will wage war on the Catholic Church the morning after he's re-elected." - so said Newt Gingrich.
Newt Gingrich is worried about the Catholic Church? Newt Gingrich?
The very same, self-serving, Pillsbury P.O.S. who not only cheated on his first but, later, his second wife after each had became seriously ill and who, shortly thereafter, divorced Wife Number One and later divorced Wife Number Two and is now on Wife Number Three wants American Catholics to believe that he's concerned for and looking out for Catholicism and for the Catholic Church?
Uh, yeah... Riiiiiiiiiight.
D'ya like to hear more improbable prognostications from GOP leadership?

GOP-Led States/House Give Up On Gays To Go After Women's Va-Jay Jays!
With Hellfire-fueled hubris propelling them out of the starting gate (Discourse be Damned)... Observed teetering - only slightly - due to the freakish expansion of their craniums (yet tragically, not the brains within) and in the wake of widespread GOP majority wins in several states and in the House of Representatives... The countless oaths sworn that they would - if elected - focus on "Jobs! Jobs! Jobs!" were unceremoniously dumped (like fleetingly-revered Christmas Trees abandoned/forgotten on sidewalks) once they were elected.
Still, times had been a' changing. Perspectives, too. The GOP was forced to accept some hard Truths. Fact: Policies discriminating against gays and lesbians were being repealed. Fact: Nationwide, Americans were more supportive of Gay Rights and Same Sex marriage. Fact: No matter how hard they prayed, gays and lesbians weren't going away. So, what's a political juggernaut composed primarily of intolerant, blindingly-white, Viagra/Cialis -popping, 99%er old men to do?
The same thing they've always done: Demonize someone who isn't them. In this case, they chose a long-time favorite target: Women. Target chosen, they moved on to legislation: Bill after bill after bill (... after bill) began appearing in both state legislatures and in the House that made no mention of "Jobs", but were disturbingly detailed and specific about demonizing and de-funding life-saving providers of women's health-care and family-planning for the middle-class and poor (often shamelessly utilizing Iraq War-worthy fabricated "factoids"). "Person-hood" initiatives?. And now... Some GOP-laden state legislatures are trying to Force women who want an abortion to undergo State-Mandated, Invasive, Medically-Unnecessary, AMA, ultrasound, first!
Hey... Can I get that in an 8x10 Glossy?
*Shame On You Virgina! *Shame on You Pennsylvania!
All of which leads me to bring you this important announcement:
As of Today, February 21st, 2012, all across our Great Nation, I hereby declare that the GOP's standard Call To Arms: "God, Guns and Gays!" is for now and for the foreseeable future (or until after the 2012 Elections) updated so that it more accurately reflects the GOP's current "Most Wanted".
Drum roll, please...
The new version is as follows:
Can I get an "Amen!"?

NJ Legislature Approves Same Sex Marriage. Gov. Christie Vetos: "Rights Be Damned. Let's Put Civil Rights To A Popular Vote""
Both houses of the New Jersey legislature have approved the bill that would allow same-sex couples to marry and sent it on to GOP Gov. Chris Christie's desk, where it should've been signed into law.
Sadly, the not-such-a-good-fella Governor - having already declared that he would Veto any such bill - did just that.
Christie also declared that this Civil Rights Issue should, instead, be put to a popular vote.
(I cannot believe that - in this, the 21st Century - I actually have to say this, but...)
Dear (? Ugh.) Governor Christie:
No One's "Civil Rights" Should Ever Be Put To A "Popular Vote".
Civil Rights are - according to our Founding Documents - "Inalienable", sir.
And, unfortunately, it is both sad and true that, if we - as a country - were in the habit of putting any/all Civil Rights up for Popular Votes...
Well then, women would likely still be unable to vote and African Americans (and other minorities) would have no legal protection from racial discrimination.
Duh! (What a freaking dumb a**...)

Ted Olson and David Boyce v. CA's Proposition 8: 9th Circuit Court Ruling a Victory For Same-Sex Marriage
Forget what makes "odd-bedfellows"...
One of the most curious alliances ever to occur in the world of litigation has just scored an enormous victory:
In the U.S. 9th Circuit Court Of Appeals: David Boyce and Ted Olson - lead counsel for Al Gore and G.W. Bush, respectively, in Bush v Gore - have won the latest battle in their fight to overturn California's 2008 ballot measure known as "Proposition 8".
The Court has officially and correctly ruled the Un-Constitutional ban against same-sex marriage as being exactly what it is: Un-Constitutional.
Oh Happy Day! Another Win for Enlightenment!

NEWS FLASH...
For those of you whom have - like myself - long been lead to believe (often by Republicans who are frantically crying: Wolf!" or, perhaps, in this particular case: "Panda!") that China holds the greatest percentage of America's Debt...
Here's A Little Priceless Nugget O' TRUTH:
The nation of China holds only (Drum roll, please)...: 8% of America's Debt.
That's E-I-G-H-T Percent, people. 8. Period.
Feel Better, Now? (I do.)

Eric Schneiderman: NY's Heroic AG Is Holding Wall Street (BofA, Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase) Accountable... Hurray!!
Eric Schneiderman, Heroic Attorney General of The Great State Of New York has just filed a huge lawsuit against Bank Of America, Wells Fargo, JPMorgan/Chase - accusing them of fraud, deceptive and illegal practices (including false documents) for what they did to American homeowners and to the American economy.
It's all about Accountability.
Wall Street Must Be Held Accountable for what they did as well as be forever prevented from ever doing it again.
("Get a rope...")
Enjoy this brief clip from The Rachel Maddow Show - featuring Jared Bernstein from the Center On Budget and Policy Priorities - that reveals something not only genuinely newsworthy, but extraordinary - which your local news may have neglected to report...

GOP May Claim Its War On Unions Is "All About Economy/Jobs"... No. It. Isn't.
Wisconsin was the 1st state in which a Republican-led legislature and GOP Governor focused all their efforts into destroying union rights/collective bargaining - claiming that, "It's all about the economy.".
And - Surprise! Surprise! - It wasn't.
Since then, several other states sadly stuck with Republican-led state legislatures and/or Republican Governors have followed in (soon to be voted out of office) WI Governor Scott Walker's footsteps.
Ohioans recently forced a repeal of their Governor's anti-union legislation.
Now, Arizona's Republican legislators are, apparently, overflowing with inspiration and motivation following a visit from WI's shameless Governor Scott Walker - who lectured them about making "... fundamental and permanent changes...".
Arizona's Republican-led government is blasting their own uniquely extreme version of union-destroying legislation through it's halls... And, it's already reached their Governor's desk.
And, as you probably guessed... They, too, are claiming: "It's about jobs.".
(*Sigh)... Once more, with feeling: No. It. Isn't.

GOP State Of The Union Rebuttal Choice Mitch Daniels: Excuse Me While I ROFL!!
If you need any more proof that the GOP is either:
A.) Insane. B.) Completely Out of touch with REALITY. and/or C.) All Of The Above...
The guy they picked to deliver their rebuttal to Obama's State of the Union address was Mitch Daniels.
The same Mitch Daniels who was George W. Bush's Senior Budget Director. The very same dim-witted dolt who claimed that the Iraq War would cost us $50 billion.
(*It cost $3 TRILLION.)
...And now Mr. Daniels/the GOP is promoting himself/themselves as "Mr. Fiscal Responsibility"/"Fiscally Conservative"?
Riiiiiiiigghhtt. (*cough*) Iraq War! (*cough).

From The Rachel Maddow Show: Newt Blusters / Attacks Media / Avoids Answering Pertinent "Values", "Hypocrisy" Questions
Friday Night's GOP Debate:
Newt Gingrich was asked to comment on his 2nd wife's, Marianne's, interviews - in which she claims he came to her - after she'd been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and after he'd already been cheating on her; and whilst, simultaneously, he was condemning then Pres. Clinton for his lack of moral leadership - and he asked her for an "open marriage".
Newt's holier-than-thou response was to use the Good Ol' Reliable GOP M.O./Safety Net:
He responded by playing - to the hilt - the part of a poor, innocent victim of that evil "Mass Media" whilst ferociously attacking the big, bad "Mass Media" for making such a big deal about what he felt was a private matter.
And in doing so, Newt avoided (this time, anyway) actually having to answer some very pertinent questions (and he did this to much applause/hooting and hollering).
And whilst - certainly - under normal circumstances, as a rule it is a fact that Newt's or anyone's sex life is neither newsworthy nor is it anyone else's business...
The Fact Is This: These are not even remotely "normal circumstances".
The reason that Newt's marriage(s) is (are) an exception to that rule is due to the fact that, historically, Newt has - militantly, if not religiously - portrayed himself as "Mr. Family Values/Traditional Marriage"-Guy...
Whilst he was publicly vilifying others for their extramarital affairs and...
Whilst he was simultaneously railing against same-sex marriage as an affront to "traditional marriage" and...
Oh yeah ~ Whilst "Mr. Family Values/Traditional Marriage-Guy" Newt, himself, was actively cheating on his own wife... No, wait... Hold that thought.
Correction: "...his own wives".
Hey, Look Everybody: It's the Great White Hypocrite!

ABC News: Mitt's Millions In Cayman Islands. Romney Campaign denies tax shelter. (with TRMS video)
Politically, Thursday was a roller-coaster of a day, with some GOP Presidential Primary candidates riding Upwards and some tumbling Down:
"No Newt Is Good" Newt Gingrich rode the crest of the wave whilst "Mr. 1%" Mitt, uh, didn't.
On Wednesday, ABC News reported that the Multimillion $ Mitt (who admitted to lounging in the shallow end of the tax pool: paying only 15%) stashed Million$ of his Million$ offshore... in the Cayman Islands.
After the AP ran with the story today, Mr. Romney's campaign came out and confirmed the veracity of the Mitt's Million$ / Cayman Islands report and then quickly added that the former Governor has "... never used the location as a tax haven".
Sure. {*nudge*nudge} Whatever you say. {*wink*wink}
I'm sure he has a very simple explanation for the Cayman Islands Million$...
Perhaps something like: Mitt just felt that those millions of dollars had earned a well-paid, extended and tax-free vacation(?).

The Rachel Maddow Show: Racism A Growing Issue For Gingrich, Paul. (with video)
On Martin Luther King Day, during the South Carolina GOP Primary debate, hosts from Fox TV utterly ignored the enormous elephants in the room by refusing to ask Ron Paul about voting against the National MLK Holiday or about his being against the Civil Rights Act.
Then, "No Newt is Good Newt" Gingrich refused to accept that he'd offended/insulted countless Americans (and African-Americans, in particular) with his "... they need jobs not food-stamps" and his suggestion that poor kids (whom he also said "lack a good work ethic") replace janitors at schools.
Hold on, folks... There's more!
Worst of all: the blindingly-white audience defended Newt's nonsense.
(*Sigh.)
