A Harry Potter reference wraps up 2009 pretty nicely.

Of course the unnerving thing here, that Robinson doesn’t get into, is that in Cheney’s recent experience, repeating a lie over and over again, and loudly, has worked for him.

Notably, when Obama won the presidential election by a clear majority this time last year, this same d-bag was whistling a very different tune.

Today one of my relatives talked about the “roving gangs of blacks” downtown. Good times! Nothing says the holidays like a little family-friendly racism.
RedState name-drops postmodernism
informationcompost:
Erick Erickson over at the conservative blog RedState writes this about Obama’s remarks regarding the recent terrorist attempts:
“It may be easier for an academic wrapped up in post-modern liberal syllogisms to draw inescapable conclusions from the absence of facts than to embrace simpler themes based on the presence of fact, but we can always hope and pray Obama learns...

From Renee E. Mestad, MD:
My patient Sherry is 24, pregnant, and the mother of a 7-month-old son. Although her pregnancy was not planned, Sherry and her husband were initially excited to have a little brother or sister for their boy. Then Sherry’s early ultrasound showed she had twins. She and her husband spent several weeks eagerly anticipating the growth of their family.

I must be the only person on the planet who doesn’t have a friend who’s had more abortions than she has fingers.
I feel the same way sometimes. So many anti-choice people are like, “Well, I have a friend, and she’s a SLUT, and she has a standing abortion appointment every third Saturday of the month and never uses condoms and so obviously abortion is wrong!”

Reblog: Abortion

amberpanda:
Sorry to talk about the infamous hot topic, but I would just like to make a quick statement. I was/(am?) pro-choice for the past 3 years. You know, if you get prego, you should have the choice to make it go away. I know that if I were to ever get preggers, I would most definitely abort it, rather than come to my parents and tell them I’m pregnant. F that.
However,...

I’m so on the fence about pro-choice vs. pro-life. It’s almost like I want it to be legal, because sometimes it’s almost necessary, but there are other people who abuse it and I can’t let that shit happen.
When abortion is illegal women die.
I can’t let that shit happen.
