According to Chuck Norris, President Obama is “creating a pro-gay Boy Scouts of America” by supporting BSA national board member James Turley’s efforts to make the Boy Scouts a more inclusive organization. This move came after a Lesbian troop leader was recently removed because her sexual orientation “did not meet the high standards” of the organization. Her child was booted as well. Norris accuses President Obama of giving Turley “perks and favors” and condemns his failure to protect the BSA’s “First Amendment rights to stand against atheists, agnostics and homosexuals.”
I just want all of you to know that I had to go to Glenn Beck’s personal mental hospital The Blaze to follow up on an article. Also, I am now bleeding from the eyes. So, thanks for that. Continue reading
When my husband and I were first married, we wrote a Christmas letter. This was his comment on his career at the time:
“Mr. Corn is working vigorously to pass a bill in the Colorado legislature. The bill will make it a class 2 misdemeanor to ask a couple when they are having children before their second wedding anniversary.” Continue reading

“And I have no privacy, whoa-oh-oh.” Well, yes, this is true for some of you. Callum Haywood’s experiment called weknowwhatyouredoing.com makes that abundantly clear.

Today in things that show people are disgustingly stupid, the Oreo Facebook page posted this image last night (which helpfully notes that it was made with creme colors that don’t actually exist). That’s not the stupid part. People who a) apparently like a certain type of cookie enough to find their Facebook page and share their enjoyment of said cookies with all their friends and b) are dumb, began inundating the page with family-friendly messages, including such gems as “i’ll stick to black n white. fuck gay oreos,” and “Gays can all go kill themselves they are sinners and will burn in hell.” Buzzfeed has a collection of these messages if you need a self-esteem boost.
Many of these proud Americans are calling for a boycott, so pick up your favorite variety next time you go to the store. As the STFUConservatives tumblr suggested, you should also tweet them (@oreo) or leave a message on their Facebook page to let them know that you appreciate their support. Comment.

Well the Supreme Court’s ruling on Arizona’s immigration laws certainly have brought out the crazy hasn’t it? Here are a smattering of some of the political cartoons that struck a chord with me and this subject. Again, please do not assume that I endorse a single one of these images. I either found them thought provoking, infuriating or just plain funny. Continue reading
