“Fiscal Conservative” Tea Partier Owes Over A Hundred Grand in Child Support

Hypocrisy is unspeakably distasteful to me.

I think that’s most of my problem with the whole Tea Party movement.  The gist of what they’re saying sounds logical to those who aren’t educated in the ways of politics, and they use that logic to prey on the ignorant.

Their M.O. is to make themselves sound like an average citizen struggling to get by, and John Q. Minimum Wage has no idea that most of the Tea Partiers are extremely wealthy.  They collect the votes of people with legitimate financial struggles in order to put plans in place that will protect their fortunes, often at the cost of us low or middle class citizens.

It’s sickening.

Which is why I’m always kind of excited when Tea Partiers are caught with their financial pants down.  It gives me hope that the misguided people following them in droves will see the light.

Congressman Joe Walsh of Illinois, he who has accused Barack Obama of “spending like a drunken sailor”, allegedly owes well over $100,000 in back child support.

For those of you unfamiliar with the child support concept, there is a standard …

Planned Parenthood Gift Cards?

Okay, I have to start off by saying that I think Planned Parenthood has done a great deal of good.  Whether parents like it or not, kids are having sex at ever-younger ages, and having the means and information to protect themselves from pregnancy and STIs is invaluable.  I still find it almost entertaining to hear Sarah Palin’s sound bytes about abstinence-only education being the …

NY Government Candidate Carl Paladino Wants to Protect Our Kids From Being Gay

Here in the United States, we’ve been subjected to a fair share of ridiculous people running for various political offices. And, unfortunately, ending up in office.

So, I’m calling on all you New Yorkers to make sure that this hypocrite of a man does not end up representing us in anyway.

Mr. Carl Paladino is a self-proclaimed “values candidate” who is here to “protect our children.” That’s great and all, cause man oh man do all of the American children need protecting … from a whole garbage truck full of things. Unfortunately, Mr. Paladino is …

Bristol Palin Talks Abstinence and Telling Parents About Pregnancy

News of Bristol Palin’s impending motherhood at 17 sparked across the media when her mother became a national celebrity as John McCain’s 2008 running mate.  She took an exceptional amount of heat for her situation considering her mother’s rather vehement views on abstinence-only sex education and the importance of traditional family values (which presumably means not saying, “I will” before saying “I do”).

Bristol has been a busy girl lately between her work for the Candie’s Foundation, continuing her education, guest-starring on The Secret Life of the American Teenager, and, of course, being a mother to her 18-month-old son, Tripp.  She recently spoke with Pop Tarts (the entertainment piece of Fox News) about everything from her TV role to how hard breaking the news of her pregnancy to her parents was:

… But breaking the news to her parents was painful for the soon-to-be teen mom.

“It was extremely difficult; I’ll always compare it to labor. I thought it was harder than labor,” she said. “I was just thinking they’d be disappointed, then realizing I’d have to grow up so fast. It was all extremely difficult. Going from a teen to an adult so quickly has been the most challenging part of motherhood.”

I can completely relate to Bristol on this one.  Telling my parents I was pregnant at 17 was significantly harder than labor, and it’s funny that I never thought of that analogy myself.  I wrote my mom a letter and went and stayed with my best friend for awhile.  Bristol, who told her parents face to face, clearly has more guts than I did at 17.
