Finally... this thing is working again. I tried about five times yesterday trying to get into this, but wasn't able to. Oh well. At least I am now.

Okay, did anyone hear about Terri Schiavo being cremated on Saturday, or did the Pope rule the airwaves? I know I never heard about it...good thing. I guess it means that the media has realized the important things in the news again and that no one cares about the Schiavo case anymore. But I do have one question. If you marry someone and then pass away, why are your parents going to control where you get buried or scattered if your partner is still alive? The right thing to do would be to give some of her ashes to her parents, but not everyone knows how to compromise. :-) One of the joys of living in the States. Not!!!!

Hmm...now we all complain about the Christian Right screwing us over in the ass. According to Bill Maher they have the experience with it from when they are kids. He wrote an opinion column for Salon.com And I do have to say that I agree. But you got to love his opinion...

"New Rule: Abstinence pledges make you horny. A new eight-year study just released reveals that American teenagers who take "virginity" pledges of the sort so favored by the Bush administration wind up with just as many STDs as the other kids.
But that's not all -- taking the pledges also makes a teenage girl six times more likely to perform oral sex, and a boy four times more likely to get anal...
"Is there any greater irony than the fact that the Christian Right actually got their precious little adolescent daughters to say to their freshly scrubbed boyfriends: "Please, I want to remain pure for my wedding night, so only in the ass. Then I'll blow you." Well, at least these kids are really thinking outside the box.
There's a lot worse things than teenagers having sex, namely, teenagers NOT having sex. Here's something you'll never hear: "That suicide bomber blew himself up because he was having too much sex. Sex, sex, sex, non-stop. All that crazy Arab ever had was sex, and look what happened."
Well, that's our story -- of how faith and the party of smaller government combined to turn your kids into a generation of super-freaks. Which shouldn't be surprising: Prohibition didn't work, "Just say no" didn't work, and I understand there's a host of Americans who illegally obtain and smoke marijuana. They're the ones who've been giggling every time I say anal sex. "

Oh...and the Danish can vouch that we are just as normal as anyone else. The divorce rate there is the same as hetero couples. Hmm...too bad the divorce lawyers in the States aren't pushing as hard to have gay marriages legalized; they would really be prospering from us. We seem to get married what, two times a year? Just kidding...we don't get married that much. Or at least not those of us who truly know what we are looking for.

Okay..that is my commentary for today. Have a good rest of the Tuesday..I get to wander around the office all day on my feet. Joy.  ¶ 4/05/2005 04:18:00 AM
