Mitt Romney is a Cookie Dick
It takes a special kind of a dick to be a dick to someone who is giving you cookies. Not selling you cookies, GIVING you COOKIES. Mitt Romney is that kind of dick. From now on, I propose that the term "Cookie Dick" be entered into the vernacular as a term meaning "one who is a dick to someone who is offering you cookies, e.g. Mitt Romney"

They always do this. Every time one of these pricks says something hateful about gay folks, they always claim that they have "gay friends." And no one ever calls them on it. No one ever says, "oh, you have gay friends? Give me the name of one of them. Because I'd like to meet the gay person who would be friends with someone like you."
Remember when "Joe" the "plumber" said he had friends who were gay? And he said, and I'm paraphrasing here, but he said something like "They know where I stand, they know I'd never allow them anywhere near my kids." Why didn't the reporter say "give me the contact information for one of these gay friends?" Because you know damn well that he wouldn't be able to produce one.
Could you imagine a scenario like that? Imagine someone says about you "yeah, we're good friends. He's a good guy. You know, turn your back for two seconds and he'll be ass-raping your kids, but other than that. . ." Is there any chance you'd ever be friends with that person?
Or can you imagine a gay person saying "Oh, sure, Dwight's a good friend of mine. He compares my relationship with the love of my life to goat-bangin' but other than that, he's a good guy." It's bullshit. Even a log-cabin Republican would have more dignity than to befriend someone like that. (maybe GOProud. . .)
From now on, when a gay-hater says he has gay friends, or a racist says he has black friends, or whatever, reporters should be legally required to say "name one. Because if that claim can not be verified, we will assume that you're lying."
You know, if I said I had friends who could shoot webs from their wrists and fly through the city, you wouldn't just accept that at face value. That's only slightly less believable than Dwight Scharnhorst having friends who are gay who don't mind being compared to goat-fuckers.

“There is no need to talk about Billy wanting to marry a goat.”
–Missouri’s Dwight Scharnhorst (R-St. Louis) discussing their own “don’t say gay” legislation
Lest you get the wrong impression, he concluded thusly:
“I’m not bigoted. I have friends who are homosexual.”

This woman is seriously an actual candidate for US Senate!
This empty suit is apparently the Republican nominee for the United States Senate.
Jeezus, Sarah, how are you going to oppose this bill if you don't even know what it is?
So I had never heard of this Sarah Steelman before, so I checked out her bio. After a bunch of boring Christmas-letter type crap about her stupid husband and stupid kids, there's this hot bit of information:
Well, the Club for Growth, I'm familiar with (might as well brag about being a member of the Legion of Doom) but I'd never heard of FUJAH Magazine. So I looked it up.
I was expecting something along the lines of the Weekly Standard or National Review or Johnny Weiner's News for Morons or something, but it mostly seems to be about fashion and other fluff.
Also, they are apparently out of business, because this is what comes up when you click the "Current Issue" button:
So, what sort of nuttery does Sarah Steelman contribute to this fine rag?
Somebody better tell Micheal Franti that this nut is using his song.

Winter Fashions Must Haves  With cooler temperatures comes excitement. And that excitement is fueled by the curiosity of what winter fashion trends we’ll be seeing and what clothes Ione might get to add to their wardrobe. This year is no exception and here are some of the season’s top picks: |

RNC Spokeswoman: Republican Economic Platform Will Be The Bush Program, ‘Just Updated’
Are we going to try and pretend that that wasn't an enormous disaster the first time?
