–Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad and his wife… the picture just says it all. She looks like Casper’s black cousin. There is no way I would ever hide myself because I have a vagina. That’s just wrong.

“After you blow me.”
– This was a guy’s response after I outwitted him. Of course, he’s voting for McCain. And of course the conversation and the friendship ended there. Congratulations, Neocons, you have a monopoly on mysoginists!

Senators David Vitter and Larry Craig… a study in hypocrisy.
More information, as well as link to the bill HERE.
I just can’t believe these two men would think they have any moral high ground on this subject.

“I won’t vote for a colored man. He’ll put too many coloreds in jobs. Coloreds are O.K.– they’ve done well, good for them, look where they came from. But radical coloreds, no– like that Farrakhan, or that senator from New York, Rangel. There’d be riots in the streets like in the sixties.”

Full article HERE. Picture below of the Pope in a snazzy saturno [...]
