The US seems to just become a more and more hostile place for women under the current administration. Pharmacists apparently have the right to not dispense birth control based on their religious beliefs. Isn’t that a little like signing up for the army and then refusing to shoot a gun? Would they to refuse to sell condoms to a man? They elected to work in this profession – you cannot then pick and choose which parts you want to do. You’re choice of employment does not give you the right to pass moral judgement on those seeking medication. In any other job, they would be fired. But in the current “culture of life” bush purports to encourage, they are supported by millions of right-wing pro-life voters, whose elected officials play slave to their whip. It’s disgusting and abhorrent, and they should all go become pharmacists at the Vatican. fucking moral majority.

in further police state developments, if you didn’t read about the volunteer “minutemen” patrolling our border and keeping our homeland safe from boogeymen, here’s some patriotic pics of them in action, guaranteed to tug at your heartstrings. I particularly like the one called “spotters”. get a gander at the license plate.

Colorado Republican Rep. Tom Tancredo, a supporter of tougher border enforcement, praised the group, telling them: “You are not vigilantes, you are heroes in my book.”

ready to sign up? they’re looking for recruits.

fucking redneck xenophobes.

and to everyone’s delight, bush has nominated an ambassador to the U.n. who thinks that the u.n. “is valuable only when it directly serves the United States” , and a director of national intelligence who undermined central american peace and promoted the war against the sandinistas. meanwhile, His deputy wants to make sure the intelligence agencies “push right up to that line” under privacy laws.

“We all know that the enemy may be inside the gates and that Job 1 is to defend the homeland,” General Hayden said in an opening statement. “But we’re also to ensure the privacy rights of our citizens…”

like we believe that.

fucking bush cronies. fucking bush, for that matter.

as his good deed for the day, bush want to clean up baseball. because that’s not our esteemed pot-president calling the kettle black. didn’t hear you crying about it when the ‘roids were lining your pocket!

fucking bush. and fuck bush some more for good measure.

in the “two steps forward, two steps back” category, connecticut has passed a law allowing civil unions (hooray!) but also attached the definition of marriage as a union between a man and a woman (booo!). And Oregon invalidated 3,000 gay marriages as unconstitutional (hissssss!).

fucking homophobes.

that’s all the news that would be fit to print, if I hadn’t liberally sprinkled in the “fucks”.

catch me in a better mood next week.
