I finally get HBO and a new Realtime, and he’s got Anne f*cking Coulter on. And not even for a “sit in the chair” segment that I can fast forward through. This is how you reward me, Bill? :tap: Do you want me to just cancel my subscription right now (fer chrissakes, HBO has True Blood – that should be all the vampires they need). He appears to be trying to make it up to me by having Maron on next week. I hope Maron is good. Or, should I say, I hope he’s allowed to be good. Maher is kind of a dick sometimes. Oh well, a lousy two-day weekend this week, so I guess I better go do shit.
I think it’s obligatory for Maher to return the favor and come to Maron’s garage. Maybe Marc will make him cry for having the Coulter-creature on.
Her laugh was the creepiest: worse than the raptor-like shriek of Palin. :omg:
I turned off the part of the program on which Coulter got to talk. Maher seems to like her.
Thank you, art. I just watched it and her laugh was very disturbing. The right wing douche bag way of dealing with being called out with truth and facts is drowning out inane and dismissive maniacal laughter and she needs a few more lessons from Buchanan. Let’s just dispense with the sincerity class. These fux are so shameless it doesn’t matter and the 20% or so who hang on their every excretion are d,d,&b anyway and delusional isn’t one of those ‘d’s.
I am pretty sure Maher has liked her, if you catch my drift. I was hoping that Chaz might put some bi-gender trans-sexual smack down on her. He sure had his parents’ voices.
An Anti-Abortion Ohio Legislator’s Embarrassing Night Out
Last Tuesday, Ohio Rep. Robert Mecklenborg — a self-described “Catholic boy from the west side of Cincinnati” — stood on the House floor to champion the most radical anti-abortion legislation in the country.
“We marvel, don’t we?” he said, before voting for the “heartbeat” bill. “We marvel at the march of the penguins as they go to propagate their species under very, very difficult odds and conditions. We marvel at the leaping salmon as they return to their ancestral homes.”
He also marveled over the mating habits of loggerhead turtles.
You’re not alone if you don’t quite see the parallel of wildlife to women’s lives.
Not once have I ever looked at a woman of reproductive age — including our three daughters and daughter-in-law — and thought: Why, you’re no different from fish, birds or reptiles.
can, however, see how linking women’s sex lives to images of prancing penguins makes it easier for some men to pretend we aren’t really human. Once you’ve convinced yourself that we women only recently shed our scales and fins and started walking upright, you can give yourself permission to break all kinds of rules.
Which brings us to a recent development in the life of Rep. Mecklenborg.
In a way, this isn’t exactly breaking news. The events in question happened more than two months ago. However, blogs and news outlets — and reportedly the House Republican leadership — found out only last Wednesday.
That’s exactly one day after Mecklenborg’s feisty critters speech.
On Saturday, April 23 — in the wee hours of the morning after Good Friday — an Indiana state trooper pulled over Mecklenborg, who was driving in Dearborn County, with temporary Kentucky license plates. The officer stated in his report that he stopped Mecklenborg for a burned-out headlight, but then suspected he was intoxicated after he smelled alcohol and noticed the state rep’s “glossy, bloodshot eyes.”
