“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 …

Political Hopeful Ken Buck Criticized for Declining to Prosecute a Rape Charge

When bad stuff happens, most people will talk to their friends about it, rant and rave via Facebook and Twitter, or take it to the next therapy session. When the truly unspeakable happens, however, there’s more of a tendency to keep it inside, to bottle up your feelings out of guilt, shame, or simple utter devastation.

Rape falls under the “truly unspeakable” category.

It takes a damn strong person to bring forward a rape charge—I did not have the guts to do it myself, and it almost drove me crazy. I am in awe of those strong enough to name their accuser, to publicly hold the bastard accountable.

Which is why I want to punch Colorado Republican Senatorial …

Fox News Takes on Pedophile Group’s Facebook Presence

I guess it should come as no surprise to anyone that Facebook, like AIM and MySpace before it, has become something of a tool for pedophiles to stalk their prey. What is a bit shocking, though, is the very public presence on the social networking site that the nebulous NAMBLA (North American Man/Boy Love Association) has achieved.

In fact, I give mad props to Fox News (hard as it is to believe) for bringing this extremely serious issue into the limelight, resulting in action by Facebook, a day late and a dollar short thought it may be, to rid itself of the presence of these dangerous people.

Would You Breathe Easier in an Emergency Bra?

All right, I’ve totally got to stop saying, “I’ve seen it all now.” Yup, just when I think there is nothing stranger in the world … well, something stranger comes up. Consider the so-called “Emergency Bra”, a dual titsling and respirator (yes, I’m freaking serious), the latest in a long line of things that have just rendered me speechless.

From Fox News:

Dr. Elena Bodnar won an Ignoble Award for the invention last year, an annual tribute to scientific research that on the surface seems goofy but is often surprisingly practical. And now Bodnar has brought the eBra to the public; purchase one online for just $29.95.

“The goal of any emergency respiratory device is to achieve tight fixation and full coverage. Luckily, the wonderful design of the bra is already in the shape of a face mask and so with the addition of a few design features, the Emergency Bra enhances the efficiency of minimizing contaminated bypass air flow,” explains the eBra website.

Yup, this is an odd one. Definitely a shoo-in for the “Ignoble Award” as Fox News defines it, but …
