My sister Chelsea is currently in Kenya working for the Foundation for Sustainable Development and she has been emailing me blog entries and I’ve been posting them for her over on Piece of the World since her internet time is limited. Check out Chelsea in Kenya and read about some really cool programs and see pictures of the people and animals of Kenya.
The entire media just needs to calm down. Yes, H1N1 has killed people. Yes, more people are now sick. Total infections around the world are only in the hundreds. In case you forgot the world is a huge freaking place with a lot of freaking people. Tons of people are killed by regular flu every year but now we are supposed to flip shit about a tiny percentage of those deaths being a different type of flu. Now Joe Biden is saying that he doesn’t think it’s safe to fly because you’ll be close to all those icky germs. The whole world is covered in germs. You are filled with them right now. You wouldn’t be able to survive without a giant colony of germs setting up shop in your guts. Everyone needs to take a step back, look at the big picture, and CALM THE FUCK DOWN!
Came across this dumb sign earlier today while driving around.
This is girl has mad squabbles.

01) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.
02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
03) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.
04) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn’t changed at all like many of the principles on which this great country was founded; women are still property, blacks still can’t marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.
05) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of marriages like Britney Spears’ 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.
06) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn’t be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren’t full yet, and the world needs more children.
07) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
08) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That’s why we have only one religion in America.
09) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That’s why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.
10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven’t adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.
Sen. Patrick Leahy is calling for an investigation into the “chain of command” the orders to use these torture techniques came from. John McCain is saying we should just put this all behind us. No, sir. We don’t. I don’t care what the circumstances are, America should never torture. Our country was founded because of our founding fathers’ will to be free from a tyrant who tortured and killed people. If we roll over and let the people responsible for this get away with it we will be spitting in the face of every person who wrote the declaration of independence, the constitution, and the bill of rights. I want this whole scandal investigated. From the CIA torture planes to waterboarding detainees to Dick Cheney’s global assassination program I want it looked into. We hanged Japanese officers during WWII for water boarding American soldiers. It’s been illegal for a long time. To all the people protesting their wicked high taxes at tea bagging parties across the country I say this:
Your tax dollars were used to pay for these programs. Your money has and is being spent to break the law and violate people’s basic human rights. Terrorist or doctor, in America we believe that we all have certain unalienable rights. Torture is never a reasonable course of action for a modern democracy. It is what dictators and tyrants resort to when they run out of ideas. Instead of complaining about the “wasteful” stimulus package that was passed by our elected congress simply to help save us from the disaster the Bush Administration gave us as a parting gift you should be angry that your elected officials were knowingly commiting war crimes in your name. The world should look to America as an example for what they should strive for and we have a right to know what exactly was going on with these awful programs that were created supposedly to keep us safe.
Prosecute the people who ordered Americans to torture people. Show us citizens and the world what America really stands for.
