Nobody Likes You Gavin

This made me happy in a kind of, "the world sucks but it could be so much worse" in the way that self important asshats running one of the largest economies in the world would be so much worse.

Via Gawker

I figured it out.

Life is a joke without a punchline.

Every tragedy is just that. It isn't a test, something to be overcome, or even some shared experience. It is just a tragedy.

There is no order or plan. It is some DaDaist piece with no conclusion save pain, suffering, loss and finally...nothingness.

When you get that the joke has no punchline, and it happens to be on you; it doesn't get any easier but it makes the longing for that nothingness more understandable.

Health Care

Health Care Reform has an enemy.

The DSCC has an enemy.

Every time I see a "Yes on 1" sign, I think to myself, "If you were to replace gay with black, would these people so happily advertise their bigotry?"

When I was 17 and a junior in high school, the school priest came in to discuss the immorality of reproductive choice and he showed us this lovely propaganda piece about how abortion kills babies.

When I asked questions, I was told that I was immoral and misguided and my beliefs I would change as I got older and really understood the "miracle of life".

Well, it is eighteen years later, and I am still Pro-Choice, so I suppose that I am still immoral, however, I haven't been defrocked for being a pederast, nor have I ever been accused of being a child molester.

Who is the more immoral?

Just asking...that's all.
