I am so goddamned tired of hearing about “The Homosexual Agenda”. I do love that it always seems to be accompanied by the phrase “jammed down our throats”, which seems a bit Freudian to me. But guess what—there is no ‘agenda’. They just want what all those pesky womenfolk and coloreds wanted. TO…

Can someone please tell me what a “homosexual agenda” entails? Because as far as I know, I haven’t been alerted to some world-domination plot. If there is one, let me know!
When people say “homoSECKshull agenda,” (usually followed by “I heard on Glenn Beck the other day”) I always think of a rainbow desk planner…

What in the ever loving hell? Hemant’s right, if this happened with any other religion, the xtian right would have flipped it’s collective shit filled brain.
But where were the parents during all of this? I know xtians that would think this form of bribery (for a passing grade no less) is completely wrong. My mother, who has a degree in...

Could you guys please reblog/post/tweet information about Habibollah Latifi’s case and his family? The fact that the regime has arrested his family after they put up such a fight to get Habibollah released is a sign that the authorities are trying to carry out his execution as quietly as…
Lots of goodies today
First, we got to skype with Greg’s family, so that was cool. We got to see his grandparents, parents, brother, sisters, and nephew. Romen is getting so big! He’s almost 2! He’s talking pretty well now, and he wanted to show us all the stuff he got, and whenever we left the screen, he said “Gone!” and “Where go?”
We opened all the presents on skype, and...

Those schools also get punished because of low test scores, which happen because of high teacher turnover. Teachers can’t handle the stress of working in inner-city gang-filled schools - it’s tough to want to go to work when gangs run the neighborhood and...

Reason #379 I moved to AK
I have, at the present, three dogs snoring at my feet. I rescued all three from certain death: Hank was starving under a deck, Bear was being beaten up by a gang of wild dogs, and Perry was part of a pack of wild dogs but is really sweet and just needed a hug. They are all clean, fed, and cuddly now! I needed my own pack of dogs to love on. I never would have gotten these pups if we hadn’t...
Reason # 27 I moved to AK
There are virtually no bugs here, and I have yet to see the bugs I hate the most - grasshoppers. They’re so freaky with their long, backwards legs and their big bulgy locust eyes. Did you know that the inside of one of those devil spawn look like cotton? It’s weird. I don’t like it. Therefore, I’m happy to be in AK.

Alright guys. Time to rock and roll. Obama got his tax compromise, even after House Democrats got all uncomfortable about it towards the end there. The process was a little tense, but eventually the House passed it as-is, 277 to 148. Obama learned the art of triangulation well from Master…

The pastor who launched the site claims to have received 2,000 posts (doubtful, as there are only two pages of guilty businesses so far). Among the “naughty” so far are Delta Airlines:
Though I am a frequent flyer with Delta they did not mind offending me, a Christian, with an email stating “Happy Holidays From The Delta Family.”
and American Airlines:

I love facts. Facts are great. I wish more people loved facts.
Fact of the day - I get sick more often working in a high school than I did when I worked in the pharmacy. How the heck is that possible? Doesn’t matter - it’s a fact.
Achoo! and asirtuk.

President Obama tripled the deficit. Reality: Bush’s last budget had a $1.416 trillion deficit. Obama’s first budget reduced that to $1.29 trillion.
President Obama raised taxes, which hurt the economy. Reality: Obama cut taxes. 40% of the “stimulus” was wasted on tax cuts…
