A place that isn't obsessed with "perfection".

I originally intended this post to be about the spending costs of the newest Michael Bay film:  Transformers: Dark of the Moon.  I was fumbling through google searching facts about how much money was wasted making this film and the generous profits it earned.  I was also genuinely interested in seeing how much a certain new young sex symbol for American entertainment was getting paid for her role in this movie-- Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley apparently has made a mark on Americans and what they view as the ideal woman.  Right down to what they searched for the most when I typed in her name....




Her weight.  That's right, the number one suggestion based on typical searches was Rosie's weight.  Appearance really is everything I guess.

Science! It's What's For Dinner

The following statements regarding science, facts, creation, and evolution were made by Christine O'donnell. She's a Senator. In Our Government. This means people actually supported her and found her to be a qualified voice of the American public. 



Well, creationism, in essence, is believing that the world began as the Bible in Genesis says, that God created the Earth in six days, six 24-hour periods. And there is just as much, if not more, evidence supporting that.

Well, as the senator from Tennessee mentioned, evolution is a theory and it's exactly that. There is not enough evidence, consistent evidence to make it as fact, and I say that because for theory to become a fact, it needs to consistently have the same results after it goes through a series of tests. The tests that they put—that they use to support evolution do not have consistent results. Now too many people are blindly accepting evolution as fact. But when you get down to the hard evidence, it's merely a theory. But creation …

Now, he said that it's based on fact. I just want to point out a couple things. First of all, they use carbon dating, as an example, to prove that something was millions of years old. Well, we have the eruption of Mt. Saint Helens and the carbon dating test that they used then would have to then prove that these were hundreds of millions of years younger, when what happened was they had the exact same results on the fossils and canyons that they did the tests on that were supposedly 100 millions of years old. And it's the kind of inconsistent tests like this that they're basing their 'facts' on.

Evolution is a myth. Why aren’t monkeys still evolving into humans?

I Pledge Allegiance To My Own Stupidity

I used to think these were the two biggest morons I'd ever heard of:





But then I took a really closer look at the Family Leader pledge that all GOP candidates were asked to sign. The family leader is a non-profit organization of Evangelicals in Iowa who push the virtue of the 50s TV sitcom version of families.  I hadn't even heard of this at all until I read Gary Johnson's blog. Gary Johnson (who I am increasingly excited about) was the first to refuse to sign the pledge and actually called it "offensive." The above idiots were the first to jump aboard and sign. Of course. Considering their social views and comments each has made about homosexuality, religion, and family, it comes as no surprise. 

Then I read the thing. You should take some time to do so youself right now if you haven't already. You can do that here.

Who the fuck is stupid enough to come up with such a document? How can you possibly discuss the fact that half of all first marriages and 60% of all remarriages end in divorce then state there is empirical evidence which shows married people have better health, sex, blah blah lies blah bullshit? Not to mention comments about slavery and the innocent fruit of conjugal intimacy...

This just goes to show how large the portion of Americans is who have not yet advanced past the days of Reefer Madness mentality. It's sad and ridiculously embarrassing to be associated with these low-class, narrow-minded freedom-haters. 

It's time to get to work on this commune.
