This is Terrifying!

Our country has survived a civil war, two world wars, the cold war, 9-11, numerous natural disasters, Vietnam...well, you get it, without having to resort to something this drastic.

Oh Shit, We Now Have a War on the Rag

Here is an addition to the previous post. Apparently, if you have gone through menopause and no longer have your period or if you haven't gone through menopause but have had to have a hysterectomy for any number of reasons then you are no longer a woman. I know a young mother, about 26, with two kids who had severe complications after having her second child and had to have her uterus removed and thus no longer has a period. I'm sure she would be completely shocked to find out that she had to give up being a woman so that she wouldn't bleed to death while her uterus fell out.

I Think We Should Start Calling These People Panty Sniffers

Remember the guy the Bush Administration nominated to head the Title X program at HHS who headed a crisis pregnancy center that claimed that contraception was demeaning to women? And the link to other Bush nominees I included this post who seem to have an unhealthy obsession with other peoples' sex lives and specifically with what women are doing with their nether regions? Here's another crazed person with a vagina obession. Watch this woman completely freak out over a new birth control pill that is being approved by the FDA.

How are we supposed to effectively fight the war on terror when the Department of Defense is firing Arabic linguists in the military for being gay when we already have a shortage of personnel fluent in Arabic?

Supporting the Troops Some More

I am getting sick of hearing about how little the Bush Administration values veterans and those who are serving in our military. Bush has continued to call on the American public to support the troops and the war, all the while passing tax cut after tax cut for the wealthiest Americans. And now we end up with situations like this!
