This is what happens when you drop out of school to be in beauty pageants

Key quotes include: "the Iraq" "they should our education over here in the U.S., should help the U.S." Oh to hell with it, The Assimilated Negro has kindly produced the transcript. via TAN.

A feminist ranch roundup

Blame it on the weather, but I've been a bit out of it. Here's a little roundup of some news that still might be news to you: -- Harvard gets a female President. And it only took 371 years! -- An illegally parked California cop stopped a motorist, whipped out his dick, and ejaculated on her. She pressed charges. He admitted to the act. She took him to court. Park's defense attorney claimed, “She [the motorist] got what she wanted . . . She’s an overtly sexual person.” The jury, one woman and 11 men, agreed. They found the officer not guilty on three felony charges. Confused? Disgusted? The Prosecution's closing arguments make the whole thing clear: “Park didn’t pick a housewife or a 17-year-old girl,” Kamiabipour said in her closing argument. “He picked a stripper. He picked the perfect victim.” Because victim blaming is still cool . . . --A wealthy Upper East Side landlord stabbed his wife to death and was found not guilty second-degree murder. And they say the campaign to end violence against women is irrelevant and offensive. In case you're still wondering how violence against women is normalized. And as an aside, does anyone else think that Maureen Dowd's column has gone down the tubes? It--content and style--is just such rubbish these days.

Vaginas back in Florida

Hoohah!! One young niece can finally have some answers. Say it with me Florida: V - A - G - I - N - A.

Florida's population flatlines

Well that's what happens when you're anti-vagina. Caving from a complaint, a theatre in Florida putting on "The Vagina Monologues" changed their signage replacing "Vagina" with the much more acceptable "Hoohaa". Atlantic Theatres in Atlantic Beach, Florida, received a complaint from a woman who'd seen the advertised title as she drove past with her niece. She said that it had made her niece ask her what a vagina was. Eeek gads!! Imagine children knowing from where they come! Or anything for that matter. Let's just keep them glued to that television that is free from sexually explicit messaging, body objectification and anything vagina related.

British not afraid of Al Gore

In striking contrast to one Washington school district, An Inconvenient Truth will be distributed for viewing to EVERY secondary school in England. "Children are the key to changing society's long-term attitudes to the environment," Johnson said. "Not only are they passionate about saving the planet, but children also have a big influence over their own families' lifestyles and behavior." The DVD will go to 3,385 secondary schools in England as part of a year-long environmental education campaign. Why is the US hell bent on paradox and ignorance? Ah! Because if we know too much, we might be compelled to change.

An inconvenient truth?

Some pissed off parent in Washington has managed to get Al Gore's film An Inconvenient Truth pulled from classrooms. "You will not teach or show that propagandist Al Gore video to my child, blaming our nation — the greatest nation ever to exist on this planet — for global warming," he wrote in an e-mail to the Federal Way School Board. The computer consultant is an evangelical Christian who says he believes that a warming planet is "one of the signs" of Jesus Christ's imminent return for Judgment Day. Because of this dude's cataclysmic Christianity, An Inconvenient Truth now may only be shown in conjunction with "balanced views" AND with a principal's written permission. But I'm confused. Shouldn't we be at least slightly concerned about global warming even if it is sanctioned by God? I mean, when locusts start pouring out of the sky, is this guy not going to ask questions?

Mommies have boobies

Check out this doll that actually tries to be lifelike and educational. Unlike other shoe-less freaks. The maker of the doll started the project back in 2001 as a way to teach her daughter about the body. Each 16-inch cloth adult Amamanta doll has genitals and pubic hair, and the mother doll features breasts that can be snapped onto the baby doll's mouth to help reinforce the importance of breastfeeding.
