What a jerk


This man who continually collects wives as his net worth increases (four times to be exact), this man who pontificates about well, just about everything, this man who knows who butters his bread and continually caters to their need for this type of entertainment, today called a woman a slut.
That's right...a SLUT.
Now, does it matter that she was actually just a third year law student who wanted to testify before Issa's stupid all male birth control panel?
Does it matter that she wanted to let the panel know that the pill could be used for more than contraception (like it's any of their business anyway)? Does it matter that she, like so many of us, is sick to death of women's health issues being used as political playing cards or that she is a person with feelings and probably parents who now get to hear their daughter being called a slut and a prostitute on national radio by a hypocritical Viagra-seeking, doctor-shopping windbag?
Of course not. That would be too boring, not divisive enough, not mean enough for Rush and his followers.
I don't care if she was hooking for cab fare, this is not something civilized people say.

Here is what he said:
LIMBAUGH: What does it say about the college co-ed Susan Fluke [sic] who goes before a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex. What does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute. She wants to be paid to have sex. She’s having so much sex she can’t afford the contraception. She wants you and me and the taxpayers to pay her to have sex.

Where does he come up with this stuff?? Does he even listen first to what he is commenting on. because she said nothing of the sort? I hope she sues the pants off him.
And if you listen to this horrible man and have a wife or a daughter, shame on you.

Nanny nanny boo boo

OK, so this is a big one that has been making its rounds on Facebook lately. I have seen it on no less than 10 people's feeds. So I have a few questions. What is the motivation behind this and displaying it on your page?

Is it a "Ha ha, I'm going to Heaven and you're not, nah nah nah"? (insert whiny sing-song tone). Is it "I hate you and your flawed theology and you deserve to go straight to hell"? Or is it "you don't believe exactly how I believe and so guess where you'll be and I won't!!?"? Or is it just funny to them? If they really believe that someone's soul will be eternally damned to hell, why are they so excited about it? Why is it something to be proudly displayed to all your Facebook "friends". Why is it "GREAT NEWS" ?

I mean I swear, I have really thought about this. I have thought, would Jesus do this or say this? Is this how he expects his followers to behave? I have wanted to reply things like...harsh, wow, unreal, nice, very Christ-like, shame on you, etc.

I mean "GREAT NEWS", what does this mean? "I am soooo glad you won't be in Heaven with me (cause I'm not perfect, just forgiven)". What are they taking God out of that you are so upset about, what part of your perfect little life is so upside down now that you want to post this? Are you not allowed to worship where you want, have Bible studies, small groups, potlucks, sing-ins, wear Christian t-shirts, bumper stickers...I mean what has changed?

And if it is pure sarcasm, is this something that we need to be that sarcastic about. Sometime I think people just don't think. With all the hype of "taking our country back" and all the "anyone not like me must be evil" that is going on, it is easy to fall into that mind-set.

This is not seeking justice or mercy, and it sure isn't walking humbly with your God.

Missin' the biscuit, but not that much....

This morning I made a blueberry smoothie. I used vanilla soy milk, Bolt House super C juice, and some ice. Very good. I have been eating a non-processed, mostly organic diet for a few weeks now and I cannot believe how much better I feel, from head to toe and everything in between. I cannot believe the amount of junk I was putting in my body. I don't mean junk food necessarily (although I was), but the chemicals disguised as "healthy" food. All the artificial sweeteners and extra added chemicals to take out the fat and carbs. Not clean and not real. I had achy joints, shortness of breath, swelling, and headaches that just wouldn't go away. I am down 11 pounds and never, ever get sleepy during the day like I did before. I hope I can keep this up, why wouldn't I?

Do I miss a chicken biscuit? Oh yes! I haven't done a cheat meal yet and am totally frightened to do this. Some "clean eaters" allow themselves that once a month, I think it would be like crack.

Hardees, I miss you, but I am sure you will do fine without me!~
