Posted by Anonymous at Bush proves he has great reflexes at Baghdad press conference at 16 Dec 6:21 PM:

One must give the Bush some credit, he has some good reflexes. However, the emperor without clothes must realize that this war has done nothing to help the stability of Iraq. The insult was deserved, and thank heaven that the fool's replacement will get us out of there. Oh, and by the way this conflict has cost American tax payers 576 billion dollars. That is cash that could have been spent on feeding the poor or on healing the ill or on Cancer research. What a bloody waste. George W. Bush is a villain, and deserves worse insults than a size 10 shoe thrown at his face.

The kids in my Spanish class were talking about this and now we kick up our feet to insult people...Yay for lame honors kid jokes

The only thing I'd want is the Flaming Lips DVD. I was supposed to go to the premier of that movie at Sasquatch, but I was watching Death Cab play and couldn't be dragged away. Other music lover gifts that I wouldn't mind (hint hint):
There'll Always Be England (the new Sex Pistols DVD)
Loyalty to Loyalty (New Cold War Kids CD)
Death Cab Tote (band tote bags are always the coolest)
And basically a million dollars worth of iTunes!

Is heterosexuality a choice?

Posted by Christopher at Is Dating Outdated? at 16 Dec 3:49 PM:

Agree with Rae completely. As people get older, it probably gets less superficial, since people start thinking about who they want to spend their lives with, instead of a few nights.

By the way, I think the author of the article needs to be listed in the earlier "awkward names" post.

Posted by Christopher at Some kids just wanted a pony... at 16 Dec 3:45 PM:

Headline should have been "Santa Pwns child abuser."

That said, this is really a sad and amazing story.

Don't molest kids, and don't mess with Santa.

Posted by Vivek at Bush proves he has great reflexes at Baghdad press conference at 16 Dec 2:42 PM:

Hey Bush!!
Thats a nice way to fend off any questions. But atleast, you know the "truth" right ;)

Posted by Rae at Some kids just wanted a pony... at 16 Dec 2:13 PM:

Wow. That is so sad. But I guess if anyone could do anything, Santa could. Poor girl...

I read the article. 99 years? Serves the guy right...

The First Amendment to the US Constitution is not involved in the grocery store's refusal to decorate the cake. The First Amendment protects people from governmental action, the grocery store is not the government.

As the article indicates, if there is any legal case here it will involve the Pennsyslvania Human Rights Commission. The PA Human Rights Commission deals with state anti-discrimination laws. The article indicates that there would have to be denial of services based on race, ethnicity or religion. This situation doesn't cover any of these. It is purley political speech and ShopRite can do refuse service.

I just put a copy on hold at the library. Unfortunately, it has to travel all the way down here from Colville...

I think I'm also going to just go purchase a copy from B&N. (Lord knows I have plenty of gift cards for that store...)

It sounds to me like identity theft. I really don't believe that someone could truly fail to notice that many parking tickets. Seems a bit fishy...

Posted by Rae at Is Dating Outdated? at 16 Dec 7:58 AM:

It is sad. Its also sickening. Somewhere along the line, the idea and definition of dating got really screwed up. What ever happened to good old fashioned dates? Ice skating and burgers. A picnic in the park. Going on a hike. Who says you have to go see a movie all the time? Or spend $100 dollars on dinner. Good grief. What ever happened to just getting to know someone better? Dating nowadays has just become a game. Its ridiculous.

One major problem I see with many girls who date is that they become dependent. They have to have a guy, to be okay. Girls who go after the "bad boy" type usually have personal issues of their own, so they turn to a guy who has his own problems and the girl focuses on the guy to ignore her own issues.

Honest to goodness, nearly the only reason a teenage guy nowadays will date, is to get in a girls pants. I'm not even kidding. Its to fulfill their own selfish desires, to put it simply. In my mind, most guys who want to date at this age are idiots and jerks. I don't date for that reason. There are plenty of rocks in this world, but very few gems. Until I can find a guy who will respect me, and love me for who I am, dating is out of the question. It might be a while. I'm one of those "no nonsense" type of girls. I'm not afraid to walk out the door wearing sweats, no makeup (which I NEVER wear anyways) with my hair thrown into a pony tail. It doesn't phase me.

This whole dating thing really need some reform...

yup. Definitely squirming...

Posted by Rae at Fashion Police: Star-Studded Laughs at 16 Dec 7:30 AM:

Allow me to say that I am so glad that Turtlenecks are making a comeback tis year. Its about time! I've been wearing turtlenecks since I was 3... and even though they haven't been "in" for several years, I've worn them anyways. (My mom actually has a purple one that she says I can probably have... ;D)

Posted by Rae at Dumb and Dumber at 16 Dec 7:27 AM:

BTW: If anyone does want to write an essay about why marijuana SHOULD NOT be legalized, go ahead, but good luck. You're going to have a pretty weak argument...

The gauntlet has been thrown down...

*eg*

Posted by Rae at Dumb and Dumber at 16 Dec 7:23 AM:

I'll tell you what's funny. I can guarantee that we have marijuana fields out in Tum Tum, and up on Jergens Rd. Believe it or not, I know who some of the "druggies" and "dealers" are in my neck of the woods. Boy, I hate Suncrest...

Katie: I know who you are, I guess you could say. I will have no problem getting it to you.
Anyone else want a copy when its done? (I guess I could just post it, and anyone who wishes to can either debate it or write a counter-essay...)

Posted by Rae at A day without gay at 16 Dec 7:21 AM:

Why is Homosexuality not a choice? (Actually I said lifestyle. Nowhere did I say anything about it being a choice. Although, now that you mention it, I do believe that it is a choice.)

As to your "why" about several of the things I mentioned, it looks like I'm going to have to write a whole series of Essays over Christmas break...

Posted by Mariah at Dumb and Dumber at 15 Dec 8:41 PM:

Haha.... we had a 'Mock Political Convention' last May, and one of the issues talked on was legalization of marijuana. The (stupid... it is so true...) girls behind me were saying stuff like 'Oh my effing god, I effing love it. God, I had some last night. I totally love the high...' and 'I took out my Mom's plant sitting next to the door and planted some. She's so dumb she doesn't notice...' They wanted to get up and SAY that. Uh, guys, hate to break it to you, but it's illegal... I know, crazy word, but going up there and saying you have plants growing in your backyard would be dumber than your normal things.

Posted by Mariah at Time for some (book) Clubbin' at 15 Dec 8:37 PM:

Yippee! I need a copy of the book- I'll get one tomorrow.

That's like "I didn't realize that my son, Satan Lucifer, would have any problems when he got to kindegarten."

Here's fun fact: Hitler came up with public health care...how's that for a squirm-in-your-seat feeling?

Posted by Jen at And Erin's coveted, "Here is the Biggest Butthole on the Planet" award goes to... at 15 Dec 5:28 PM:

I agree with you Rae (which is pretty unique in it's own right). Race goes along with this because race and religion are often one in the same when it comes to discrimination, and, in this case, it seems as if the family has issues with both Jews and races other than their own.

Posted by Jen at But officer, I didn't know... at 15 Dec 5:26 PM:

Or...he's a really bad at parking, and he chose to ignore the tickets thinking they would go away.
I know a guy who's doing the same thing. He thinks that because he's underage he won't be charged or fined further. I told him not to expect a care package from me in prison.

Posted by Christopher at Bush proves he has great reflexes at Baghdad press conference at 15 Dec 4:34 PM:

Not bad Jen!

Posted by Rae at And Erin's coveted, "Here is the Biggest Butthole on the Planet" award goes to... at 15 Dec 3:55 PM:

I don't think that being an idiot and naming your kid "Adolph Hitler" is a right protected under the first amendment... Therefore, I would've done exactly what the store did.

What does racism have to do with any of this?

I feel sorry for the kid...

How oblivious and ignorant can you possibly be to deny that the holocaust never happened?!?! OMG... G-d help us all...

"The family wanted their kids to have "unique names" but didn't expect there to be problems, even after they start school." -ARE YOU FRICKIN' KIDDING ME?!?! Naming your kids after Nazism is not unique, its idiotic!

The utter "brilliance" of some people never ceases to amaze me... *groans* I think I'm going to puke...

Posted by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn at But officer, I didn't know... at 15 Dec 3:52 PM:

How could a person fail to notice 415 pending parking tickets?

I think the story makes it pretty clear. The DMV sent notices to his old address....and his identity was stolen....

Posted by Jackson at And Erin's coveted, "Here is the Biggest Butthole on the Planet" award goes to... at 15 Dec 3:16 PM:

"The family says they aren't racist but believes "races shouldn't mix." Gee, that isn't racist at all. Is this like saying that, "I'm not racist, I just won't vote for a black man?" I am tolerant of many things, but I am intolerant of intolerance. These racist pigs should be exiled to a place that is cold, dark and isolated so that they can wallow in their hatred. No one in honest, tolerant society would miss them.

Posted by Jen at Bush proves he has great reflexes at Baghdad press conference at 15 Dec 2:45 PM:

Hey, you've got to admit, he's pretty good at ducking. But I guess you've got to be when your approval ratings are that low.

Posted by Jen at Time for some (book) Clubbin' at 15 Dec 2:43 PM:

Yay! Since I've already read it, I won't give anything away. I would like to say I was a bit confused at first, but it makes since later, especially if you go back and read it. I LOVE THIS BOOK!

Posted by Jen at And Erin's coveted, "Here is the Biggest Butthole on the Planet" award goes to... at 15 Dec 2:42 PM:

I can't believe there are people out there who deny the Holocaust. There is so much proof, so many eye witnesses. You have to be in denial.
As for the grocery store, I think they have every right to refuse. Stores have the right to refuse service to anyone (as long as it isn't for racial purposes).

Posted by Rae at A day without gay at 15 Dec 9:25 AM:

Katie: Homosexuality isn't a disease, its a lifestyle...

To answer the original question (What do you feel so strongly about that would make you join a protest?), here's what I'd have to say:

If the driving age was raised, I would protest.

If the drinking age was lowered, I would protest.

If the Government imposed gun control, I would protest.

If anything related to abortion came up, I would protest.

If we went to a one world religion, I would protest.

If marijuana remains illegal, I'm going to protest.

If Obama for sure takes the Presidency, I'm going to protest. (I say that because there's very little proof right now that he's actually an American Citizen..) I will also argue with anyone who says we are going to have our first "Black/African-American" President, because, technically, that's not true...

If Homeschooling is banned or anything like that, I will protest.

If I am ever forced to take the WASL again (with the exception of 10th grade), I will protest.

If gay marriage becomes legal in WA State, I will protest.

Since physician-assisted Suicide has been legalized here, I'll probably protest that, eventually.

Anything I missed?...

Posted by Rae at Dumb and Dumber at 15 Dec 8:54 AM:

Well, Katie, hold your horses, ad let me write the essay first. (I'll emil you a copy if you'd like...) Then you'll know why I think it should be legalized. Oh, and I DID NOT write that as bait. Let's not debate this particular subject... yet...

Posted by chloe at Fashion Police: Star-Studded Laughs at 15 Dec 5:58 AM:

*fist pump...!*

no one will tease us! :D we'll stick together!

i did find really cool purple pants the other day, hailey! - they were at hot topic, i think...a deep deep purple wash with slight black streakage to mimic zebra print - only toned down. there was pink too...i couldn't decide...

they were pretty rad...;)

You could always just go with Merry Christmans

Posted by Katie at A day without gay at 14 Dec 9:14 PM:

Right on, Chloe! I really like the concept of this protest. It originated with some guy saying that homosexuality was a disease. Homosexuals decided that if they orientation was being labeled as a disease, then they would simply call in gay. It's a tongue-in-cheek way to get a point across and I like it. We all know that homosexuality is as a part of one's life as heterosexuality. It's not a disease, it's a given.

Posted by Katie at Fashion Police: Star-Studded Laughs at 14 Dec 9:10 PM:

Agreed chloe...I feel a little hesitant...hopefully no one teases us! but i also like the gladiator sandals. I have some that are a little toned down. I have pretty eclectic taste in clothes, though. I'm not exactly a fashion follower. I'm looking for the perfect pair of purple pants right now...let me know if any sees any good ones!

Posted by Katie at Dumb and Dumber at 14 Dec 9:07 PM:

Posted by Katie at The infamous "War on Christmas" at 14 Dec 9:03 PM:

I think that Merry Christmas is okay. I mean, it's a well-wishing and if you don't want it just mentally reject it or something.Someone is trying to be nice to you, deal with it. As for Hanukkah and Kwanzaa, neither began as major holidays until companies decided that they'd try to get more money out of the general public.

Posted by Rae at Video of the Week at 14 Dec 6:30 PM:

I love this video! I will openly admit that I am a total Nerd... okay and a Geek. But seriously, he makes a good point. What's wrong with being a Nerd? Plus, he makes another good point. Nerd and Geek insults need some work...

Posted by Rae at Dumb and Dumber at 14 Dec 6:13 PM:

First of all, over christmas break, I'm going to be writing a report about legalizing Marijuana (I want it to be legalized)...

Secondly, I don't think it gets much more dumb than this guy...

Posted by David at The infamous "War on Christmas" at 13 Dec 3:48 PM:

Haha...Michael, I agree completely. Spokane's the whitest city in the U.S. (other than Provo, Utah...lol)

However, the whole debate, as with most political debates nowadays, is a complete joke. Honest, who gives a damn? You don't hear nearly the amount of criticism for Easter, and absolutely none for Halloween, which is traditionally a religious holiday (though it is largely considered secular). Like Halloween, Christmas isn't a religious holiday anymore; it is a mere representation for all of the celebrations that commemorate this time of year, including atheistic and non-Christian ones.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Posted by Renata at The infamous "War on Christmas" at 13 Dec 1:39 PM:

Even "Happy Holidays" has its PC limit, as there are many people who do not celebrate any holidays.

That being said, I think the issue is accuracy, not some ambiguous, unattainable concept of PC. For almost everyone, there are two major winter holidays -- an overtly religious one such as Christmas/Hanukkah, and a secular holiday: New Year's Day.

Even Christians worth their salt know there's more than one religious holiday in the winter...Epiphany, etc.

"Happy Holidays" recognizes all of the celebrations during the dark time of the year. It would only be a 'war on Christmas' if the term "holiday" excluded Christmas, which obviously isn't true.

Posted by Michael at The infamous "War on Christmas" at 13 Dec 10:51 AM:

Yeah, I think that if you know a guy to be Jewish, you should wish him/her Happy Hanukkah. But I think for all practical purposes, just base what you say off of where you are. Like Spokane, and I don't mean to sound un-accepting or anything, but it's pretty safe to say "Merry Christmas" to people and on banners/whatnot. Other places, not so much, you may have to use Happy Holidays to cover your ass.

Posted by Jeremiah at The infamous "War on Christmas" at 12 Dec 9:41 PM:

War on Christmas...uh huh...that's as big of a joke as the war on drugs. And who cares if its Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas? Happy Holidays is probably more PC, and I personally prefer Happy Hanukkah from people who know I'm Jewish, but meh, I'm not Hasid, so I don't stand out (that and I've been mistaken for an Irishman before because of my hair).

One of my friends is convinced that it's going to snow within the next week or so (despite the fact that it was in the mid-60s this afternoon).

I think this movie will be a good thing. Hopefully it will broaden some minds and help people understand the gay population, especially since America seems to be at a turning point when it comes to gay marriage, what with the Prop 8 controversy.

What you may not be remembering about this country, bub, is that anyone accused of a crime is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty in a court of law by a jury of their peers...although I'll admit, the evidence against Gov. Blagojevich does seem to be rather convincing.

Also, you're generalizing--the actions of one man do not equate with those of his party.
