Dudes and Dudettes-

A couple of weeks ago, I asked you to sign a petition on President Obama’s website.  If we get 25,000 signatures President Obama promises he will look at our petition to “Nominate New Commissioners to the Federal Election Commission.”

Most of you went over and signed it.  I appreciate that because this is something near and dear to my heart.  We only need 5,500 more signatures by Friday.  If you didn’t sign it, do it now.  If you did, find at least one other person who will add their name to the growing list.  You’ve got a friend you can talk into it.  I know you can.

Thank you for your help with this.  It’s important.  It really is.

Susan

And Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen thanks you, too.

You have to get an account with WhiteHouse.gov before you can sign the petition. It’s free, easy, and they do NOT spam you.

Or gay.  It’s great to be gay today.

Take that, you hateful old people, trying to run everybody else’s lives.

Several customers sent me a site that I didn’t use here because Momma would chase us all down with a bar of soap.  It has the F bomb, but it you don’t mind that, this is darned funny and adorable.

It’s a Good Day To Be a Grown Up Women

She quit and then she whined.

A high-ranking official resigned Tuesday from the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast-cancer charity after a dispute over whether the group should give funding to Planned Parenthood, according to a letter obtained by The Associated Press.

Karen Handel, the charity’s vice president for public policy, told Komen officials that she supported the move to cut off funding for Planned Parenthood. She said the discussion started before she arrived at the organization and was approved at the highest levels of the charity.

“I am deeply disappointed by the gross mischaracterizations of the strategy, its rationale, and my involvement in it,” Handel said in her letter.

And Margaret and Helen put the gree-gree on The Komen Foundation, and then sent a call to all grown up women across America.

And then Brother Mike Luckovich took it for a ride —

Yes, it is a good day to be grown up woman.  But that’s pretty much every day, isn’t it?

And Speaking of Gettin’ Your Story Straight ….

Republican Congressman John Flemming of Louisidamnana read the following from the Onion ….

TOPEKA, KS—Planned Parenthood announced Tuesday the grand opening of its long-planned $8 billion Abortionplex, a sprawling abortion facility that will allow the organization to terminate unborn lives with an efficiency never before thought possible.

During a press conference, Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards told reporters that the new state-of-the-art fetus-killing facility located in the nation’s heartland offers quick, easy, in-and-out abortions to all women, and represents a bold reinvention of the group’s long-standing mission and values.

“Although we’ve traditionally dedicated 97 percent of our resources to other important services such as contraception distribution, cancer screening, and STD testing, this new complex allows us to devote our full attention to what has always been our true passion: abortion,” said Richards, standing under a banner emblazoned with Planned Parenthood’s new slogan, “No Life Is Sacred.”

… and immediately posted it on his Facebook page with the comment, “More on Planned Parenthood, abortion by the wholesale.”  No kidding.

One of his Facebook friends pointed out that it was satire.  From the Onion.  You know satire?  It’s something done to make you look like a damnfool.  Apparently it works.

Flemming then deleted the Facebook entry.

It is unknown if he said “oops.”

Thanks to RuthAnn for the heads-up.

No, No, Mel, You’re Doing It Wrong

Mel, Honey, that’s not why most folks go to prostitutes.   Marijuana is just their loss leader.

As you would suspect, voting records reveal that Mel is a staunch Republican.  I’m proud to say that Democratic men know what you go to a prostitute for.

Mel also has a Master’s degree in Theology and a PhD in Philosophy.  What the guy needs is a Bachelor of Gettin’ Your Story Straight.
