The defense budget, that’s where. And check out where the environment and education fall into this. Those two little slivers epitomize the Bush administration to me. It is apparently a worthless exercise to invest in the future.
Ultimately, the question is not who, but what Bill Napoli is.
The ingenious ladies over at Smart Bitches Who Love Trashy Novels have come up with the idea of Google bombing him. This is my contribution — now make yours.
For those of you who live under a rock (which, admittedly, is me most of the time), Bill Napoli is the republican senator from North Dakota responsible for recently passed legislation that prevents doctors from performing an abortion except in cases where the mother’s life is in danger. And this is his description of what would be an acceptable case for abortion.
A real-life description to me would be a rape victim, brutally raped, savaged. The girl was a virgin. She was religious. She planned on saving her virginity until she was married. She was brutalized and raped, sodomized as bad as you can possibly make it, and is impregnated. I mean, that girl could be so messed up, physically and psychologically, that carrying that child could very well threaten her life.
Is it just me, or has he spent a lot of time fantasizing about that particular scenario? I mean, what does the brutal sodomy have to do with anything?
Thanks Wade!
He nailed pretty much everything else though.
What’s with this news about the Dept of Justice trying to get google’s databases? What’s this about job boards being required to retain old resumes and make them available to employers? And then there are the constant attempts to “Disnify the Internet”? I mean, c’mon people, porn FUELS the Internet, and it doesn’t make me very happy to google myself and find my name on some disgusting site involving animals because some bot grabbed random words out of separate posts, but hey, I live with it. I’m a good old fashioned liberal who believes that the government SHOULD be involved in improving peoples’ lives and ensuring fairness — but this isn’t fairness, this is Big Brother. Meanwhile, all the things that help us as a society just got slashed from the budget.
You know what this is about? This is about stupid people who can’t adhere to a standard code of conduct for themselves and who then demand the government get involved. Can’t stop your teenage kid with rampaging hormones looking for pictures of girls? Pass a law! Stupid enough to buy a genuine Ming vase off eBay for the screaming deal of $9.99? Scream fraud against eBay. And it’s about people who are so terrified of a possible terrorist attack –and, by the way, equally stupid people who voted this moron into office in the first place — that they’re willing to sign away not just their freedoms but everyone else’s too. Because they’re just too stupid and short-sighted and IGNORANT of the way totalitarian governments work.
Which is what this one is becoming.

Seriously. Like this is a surprise?
“Americans say President Bush does not share the priorities of most of the country on either domestic or foreign issues, are increasingly resistant to his proposal to revamp Social Security and say they are uneasy with Mr. Bush’s ability to make the right decisions …”
