14. If I heard the Repubs correctly...
this bill requires the gov't to ensure a supply of Viagra for every male over the age of five.

43. It's certainly cheaper than several years of disposable diapers and moist wipes!
And greener for the environment--far more biodegradable.

15. I am SO damned tired of womens' bodies being used as bargaining chips.
They haven't been there, they don't know what it's like, they use us and abuse us and I despise everything they stand for.

Women don't mean shit to Repubs until the Repubs can try to cash in on a fetus.

To call it simply cynical is to miss an opportunity to call it cynical, pandering, and misogynist.

22. It's all about pacing yourself
During the Christmas season, I limit myself to knocking over no more than three creches on a given day.

Any more than that, and it just gets tedious.

29. I always overdo it....
I try to start small, saying "Happy Holidays" and surreptiously unplugging light displays. But then I look around and want to do more--knock over more creches, steal more lawn deer and penguins, and make file more lawsuits....

By Christmas Eve I can hardly particpate in the Black Mass. It's tiring....

41. That reminds me.
I need to have my right front CV joint checked out from running over that Christmas tree in the dark last Halloween. Hey, I started early in the War On Christmas. They started selling Christmas trees in my town a week before Halloween. I ran over the Christmas tree turning into the pharmacy 2 days before Halloween. :evilgrin:

I was actually on the edge of my seat for the vote, even though I knew that it was basically a done deal.

38. Typical female attitude.
Figures that you'd consider it "your" uterus.

Obviously, it belongs to God and to whatever man deposits his DNA in there.


Duh.
