I'm sorry to hear that Slinkerwink got banned, but I can't fucking stand the other diary and the militant post police pouncing on every questionable comment. Yeah, it's nice to have a thread dedicated to her long-time presence here, but the reverent tone was bumming me out. So, I decided to start another thread where people could speak their minds. Honestly, the entire site is getting too touchy.

The point I wanted to make, as the title would suggest, is that rules are made to be broken, but consequences are made to be paid. I only know about the banning from 2nd-hand information, so I really have no opinion on what was right or wrong. Slink probably said something that she thought needed to be said and Kos did what he thought he needed to do to keep order.

So, break some rules, man. Don't let this place get too boring. There's got to be give and take, ebb and flow, push and pull. Conflict is interesting, just don't be an asshole for asshole's sake, because if you are, then your the reason one-strike rules get made and people, good people like Slink, get banned.

By the way, some people aren't going to get past the first paragraph and they're going to start flaming me. Those are the assholes I'm talking about.

Two years ago, I was laid off from my job as an Internal Communications Specialist for an area hospital. Since then, I've been doing some freelance work and continuously looking for a job. I have sent out hundreds of resumes, and I usually don't hear anything back.

It's not that I haven't been successful. I built, branded and maintained the hospital's intranet on Sharepoint (which I had never worked with); chaired the communications committee; managed state grants, one of which was a very successful train-the-trainer program "Disaster Preparedness for People With Chronic Disease"; and wrote, edited, and published the weekly newsletter for the CEO.

I honestly thought I was invincible.

This is just a short diary to bring the Iranian protests to the light of day. Not sure if it's been diaried yet, but today -Valentine's Day - as we chase romance, Iranians are trying to get it on with freedom .

Iranian opposition groups, who accuse Khamenei and Ahmadinejad of resembling the ousted Arab leaders in their defiance of popular demands, were met with tear gas and baton charges when they held a rally in Tehran today in solidarity with the regime-changers in Egypt, Al Jazeera television said.

For more information you can search #25 Bahman on twitter and on YouTube.

Also, you can like this on Facebook.

I think without an army of foreign journalists, the protesters will definitely need help spreading the words and images associated with the protest. Hopefully, there will be a good outcome.

Quick note: I'm in a hurry so didn't have a lot of time to spend on this. Still, the linked article is pretty funny in it's awesome lameness.

This "exclusive" is so fucking stupid that I'm not sure what to say.

EXCLUSIVE: 'BMWs' Help Afghans Go AWOL From Texas Air Base

BMWs, in this case, refers to "Big Mexican Women." Now, I don't live in San Antonio, but I am assuming that BMW is a generic term used by the military to describe a type of woman you might meet at a bar. Fox News would have you believe it's a suspicious network of "possibly" illegal aliens.

A loose network of Mexican-American women, some of whom may be illegal immigrants, have been responsible for helping numerous Afghan military deserters go AWOL from an Air Force Base in Texas, FoxNews.com has learned.

In other words, FoxNews.com doesn't have proof, but why let a good opportunity to pile on the immigration issue go to waste?

Okay, I am not one to try and deny someone the chance to make money. Hell, I love money. Money is good, it lets me buy shit for my wife and kids. It gives me security, food, heat, and a lot of stuff that I just enjoy having. But, there are times when I draw lines in the sand. For instance, I would never hurt anybody for money. I certainly wouldn't kill for it. For that matter, I wouldn't do anything to intentionally harm the environment for money.

There's what's right and there's what's right, and never the twain shall meet.

This diary is a mash-up of sorts, it takes an idea from here and applies it to Arizona's new draconian immigration law.

Okay, I've made it this long on here; and with a user ID in the 8k range, I've decided it's finally time for me to "come out." You see, I'm actually a Republican member of Congress, and I actually do represent the views of some the the craziest mother fuckers in the land.

Now, some would argue that because I represent these crazy fucks, that I must be crazy too. It's not true. Consider the defense attorney who represents a child molester, does that make the attorney a criminal? Hardly. It just makes him rich, which is why I'm in Congress. One day, I'll shed myself of these loathsome Limbaugh fanatics and land a cushy job lobbying new representatives of the irritrievably insane. Does this make me a bad person? Sure it does, but at least I'm not crazy.

Apologies in advance for such a short diary, but a few moments ago on Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough sounded as if he was coming out against torture. If you watch the program with any regularity, you'll know that up until today, he's been a huge torture apologist. That changed when he was talking about a detainee, saying:

And what about the prison conditions? There's rape, beatings, forced confessions... It's right out of Stalin's playbook."

Jump...

If you're old enough, you probably remember that shortly after the Desert Storm soldiers started to get sick - real sick.

It began in Indiana in early 1992, when soldiers in two reserve units that had fought in the Persian Gulf war began to suffer a puzzling array of symptoms. Some became unusually fatigued, and others said that their joints ached. They experienced headaches, rashes and hair loss, and their memories occasionally failed them. In some cases, the symptoms were severe enough to require hospitalization.

It gets worse.

As the military prepares for a possible war with Iraq, researchers have identified a new malady among veterans of the first Gulf War: <red>burning semen syndrome</red>.

In these veterans, exposure to semen causes burning, pain and swelling at the tip of the penis and in the vaginal areas of their partners.

The first question we must ask is why anyone believes anything Bush has to say. He lied to get us into a war, therefore he'll stop at nothing to get what he wants. He is a master liar with no qualms and the knowledge that fear makes people more susceptible to his lies. He does not care what happens to you or me, he only cares about his ultra-wealthy base.

I for one am ready to call his bluff, take his chips and send him limping back to Crawford/Houston/South America with his tail between his legs.

I’m not how you’re all staying so calm, but I am in an increasingly excited state over this Palin for VP thing. My ailments of agitation caused my heart skipped a beat after I first heard the nickname "Barracuda." It was unsettling and, seemingly, an unfitting alias for a woman from Alaska. "Barracuda," as I understand, is typically a male who cruises the beaches in warmer climates looking to throw cold water on the back of big-breasted women who are sunbathing backside up with their tops unhooked - or, men (who may or may not remind you of Bill O’Reilly) slip rufies to women in bars – but not a pretty, outdoorsy, b-balling, bear and wolf-killing, mooseburger eater from Alaska. No!

She should be dubbed "Wolverine" or "Badger" or some other northern-associated animal with overabundant tenacity and razor-sharp teeth, to be geographically correct.

Her awkward A.K.A. geography aside, "Barracuda" implies an aggressive, attorney-ish secondary predator that might bite you on the thigh - which is a very sensitive area for me. It’s just one of the reasons she scares me, but the real reason I’m panicked is...

With all the cone of silence talk, I thought it would be worthwhile to do a little research on Rick Warren's background. Sure, we all know he wrote a best-selling book that some woman used to get through a terribly frightening ordeal. Yeah, we all know he's a bit on the portly side. Of course, we all know he created one of the biggest, most slickly marketed mega churches ever conceived; one that, if like our local mega church, has professional security (you don't find that much in liberal churches). But do we really know Rick Warren for the douche bag that he is?
