Anti-Choice, Pro-Lunacy

Caught a sound bite last night that made me wince - a republicant hoping to run for president apparently wants to ban abortion - totally. Huntsman, I think it was. This was the douchebag who held his press conference in New Jersey but said he was in New York.

And that got me thinking about this. Again.

Here's another man - a man who will never face the situation of having to decide if he can carry a child to term - or not - for whatever reason - believing his beliefs (Mormon) should be everyone's beliefs. (Doesn't everyone love that knock on the front door from the nauseatingly cheerful boy in the shirt & tie!?)

Reminds me of another bag of douche, Mitch Daniels, who approved the Planned Parenthood funding ban in Indiana - a man with four daughters. Four daughters who will most likely be able to afford any sort of health care they could ever want.

But, heaven with a baby jesus wrapped in golden fleece forbid, should they ever find themselves in need of health care they cannot afford, they'll be shit out of luck at Planned Parenthood, thanks to daddy.

On the flip side - how the fuckity fuck does IVF fit into this scenario? Why is it perfectly legal - even encouraged - to use unnatural means for women to become pregnant with MULTIPLE embryos? Isn't that - dare I say it... CHOICE?

If you're anti-choice, then IVF should be banned right along with abortion. If one cannot choose to abort a fetus, one should not be allowed to artificially create a fetus. Yet why is IVF so acceptable? Why wouldn't IVF be banned in favor of adoption?

Oh, but then it wouldn't be *our* baby with *our* DNA (that seemed to realize maybe you shouldn't be breeding). Heaven with fourteen baby jesuses wrapped in pink saran wrap forbid we adopt a potty-trained child desperate for a loving family. That's some shit talking right there.

But really, it goes a lot deeper than Save the Babies and Abortion is Murder. For the record, I'm pro choice/freedom all the way around. Pro-free country, pro-death penalty, anti-seat belt & helmet laws & pro-Darwin. But I digress.

Women saddled with children are more easily controlled - more so than we childless broads. Women running around after drooling, screaming toddlers all day don't have the energy to sit and wonder why all these men (and some batshit crazy women) want us having dozens of kids.

And by the way, these assholes don't give two shits about the kids - anyone can have one if you want one (or six). There's no special certification required - any dumbshit can crap out a kid and then pop it in the microwave for dinner. Or they can raise them to be totally undisciplined, screaming brats who will grow up to be totally undisciplined screaming assholes. Oh the beautiful miracle of life!

But back to my point... men run the world. Still. How, I really can't fathom, as most of them are rather inept, but they do. Though there are a handful walking around smart enough to realize just how dumb they are - hence, perhaps the fear of losing their status?

With women outnumbering the men in our country, and interestingly, it seems like everyone I know who is having kids has more girls than boys - you boys must be cuddling your nuts in terror. You know your days are numbered. That gives me great joy.

The bottom line is, you can go ahead and try to ban abortion - I don't think it will ever happen - but if it does, you're just making the problem worse.

The smarter, more capable women will always find a way to survive these ridiculous tactics and as a result, they'll be more likely to wreak havoc on your little nutsacks. It makes us that much more intent on doing so.

And the thing that should scare you more than women without kids is women who are consciously deciding to have or adopt them and are teaching them to question the world in just this way.

Day 4, Sugar Free & Sobbing

Day 4 is almost over and it's been the hardest day yet. It's not helping that I'm watching the Food Network and they just showed us deep fried candy bars at the fair.

So many candy bars... dipped in thick, delicious pancake-like batter, fried into crispy, melty chocolaty & nougaty bites of heaven. I wept as I made plans to attend the next state fair, in any state, as soon as possible.

With my period about to drop any minute, I couldn't have picked a worse time to give up sugar. And not just sugar, but all simple carbohydrates - anything & everything that *acts* like sugar in the body.

That reminds me - I saw a commercial tonight that I almost can't believe. A mother is serving cups of red punch to a bunch of kids and another mom tries to caution her about high fructose corn syrup being unhealthy.

The punch pusher cuts her off and says, "Oh, right, high fructose corn syrup? It's from corn, it's natural and just like sugar, it's fine in moderation." What the WHAT? Can you believe that shit?

Now the high fructose corn syrup lobby is trying to tell us that shit is OK? Early last year the Washington Post published an article about HFCS containing mercury! And HFCS is made from genetically-modified corn - even worse - and the Farm Bill subsidizes this shit!

The Corn Refiners Association - Cornholers - should be drawn & quartered then lovingly dipped into giant vats of HFCS and set out to dry in the sun to become candied meat bits for the vultures.

To quote one of my favorite nutrition info sources, Dr. Mercola:

"Food and beverage manufacturers began switching their sweeteners from sucrose (table sugar) to corn syrup in the 1970s when they discovered that HFCS was not only far cheaper to make, it’s also about 20 times sweeter than table sugar...

...The food and beverage industry doesn’t want you to realize how truly pervasive HFCS is in your diet -- not just from soft drinks and juices, but also in salad dressings and condiments and virtually every processed food. The introduction of HFCS into the Western diet in 1975 has been a multi-billion dollar boon for the corn industry."

Read Dr. Mercola's article on the devastating health hazards of high fructose corn syrup.

Just seeing this bullshit commercial strengthens my resolve to completely eliminate this crap from my diet. I may go back to eating sugar at some point, but it'll be sugar - it won't be this shit.

Shouldn't it be a crime to put profits before health, you fucktards at the Cornhole Refiners Association?

George Lucas Sucks ASS

It shouldn't come as a big surprise, from the man who brought us the asinine Jar Jar Binks, that George would start a game company then put a bunch of no-talent ass clowns in charge of it.

After four months abroad working to successfully get a project back on track, a project that was derailed by ongoing miscommunication by the exec producers, David was laid off today. Along with about 99 other people. See Kotaku.com for more info.

He just returned last Friday and today they told him Thanks so much, Fuck Off. Though strangely, his boss called this morning to tell him that there would be a round of layoffs but claimed not to know if he would be included.

Not even an hour later someone from HR called to tell him that he was, in fact, laid off. And just two weeks after he received a glowing review with high praise for all his great work in the UK.

Later on we learned that one of David's teammates, an annoying, undermining piece of shit I'll call James, because that's his name, quit the company a week ago.

Jimmy-boy is a good buddy of the VP who reportedly put together the list of those to be laid off, so it would seem that the POS heard the news of what was coming and left before the clear cutting began.

Jimmy is also a good buddy of David's boss, the one who called this morning claiming not to know anything. Maybe he was trying to appear unaware of what was about to happen, when he was probably very aware and just such a self-serving piece-of-shit weasel he thought he could somehow appear innocent in the matter.

If it's always going to come down to who's willing to blow the most people to get ahead, why bother working to produce a quality product?

Why stand up for doing the right thing or have any integrity at all when all that really matters is how many knee pads you can wear out in the least amount of time? David's boss must have bone bruises on his knee caps by now.

You know what you end up with when you run a company like this? Just more no-talent ass clowns who only care about their own no-talent asses, who couldn't care less about doing the right thing by the project or the company.

Obviously I'm angry, but more so disappointed. We were both so excited when this opportunity came along, and David loved the work he was doing, despite the annoying hiccups along the way.

LucasArts used to have some cache in the industry, a place someone would be proud to put on their resume. Now they're just like any other ass-fucking corporation that couldn't care less about the people they hire to make them successful.

Fuck you, George, and your lame ass executives. I'm glad I booked a job instead of going to see your new movie and we're sure as shit not going to go see it now.

Update 6/11: Rumor has it a deal is in the works between LucasFarts and EA. Another game was just canceled, sending the developer into its own tailspin after staffing up to meet the redonkulous deadlines Lucas demanded.

Spielberg recently partnered with EA to ship something (I don't even know what it was it was so wildly successful) and he probably told Georgie to stop wasting money on his on IPs and just hand it all off to EA.

Those remaining report that it's just a matter of time before everyone is gone and Lucas is nothing more than a licensing company that works on one or two projects as a boutique shop. David's feeling like it was probably a good thing to get out when he did.

Tatiana Did Us a Favor

Thanks to a few stupid teenagers, a beautiful tiger is dead. A kid is also dead, but if he was taunting her, he paid the ultimate price for being a thoughtless jackass, and good riddance.

The surviving kids should be charged with manslaughter. They should also be punished for what happened to the tiger.

Squeeze them and their parents into fresh, tailored meat suits, throw them into the pit and let the tigers do what they will. That's one thing that might motivate me to visit a zoo.
