As much as I try to respect the opinions and beliefs of others, pro-life people really make it hard.

(In ancient Rome, there was a poem about a dog who found two bones. He picked at one, he licked the other, he ran in circles, and he dropped dead.)

Respecting opinions and beliefs you don't disagree with is no great feat.

In fact it is no feat at all.

Abortion doughnuts make me think of a stupid recipe: Start making a small doughnut but severely under cook it. Then chop it up, mix it with strawberry/raspberry/cherry/some other red fruit jelly and inject it into a fully cooked doughnut. Serve with a straw, knife, or fork stuck in final product.

Look, it's not like Arizonans want the Cardinals in the Super Bowl any more than you do.

Even better is the fact that they just happened to pull it off in the year they're hosting the Super Bowl in their own stadium, and they have pretty much the biggest homefield advantage in the league (because nobody else trains in freakin' Arizona).

Kazz · « **Reply #688 on:** January 19, 2009, 09:05:04 PM »

no, they hosted last year.

it's in Tampa this year.

Oh hey.

Well, they're fucked then.

Here, this is for anyone who might have been feeling some respect for George H.W. Bush due to contrast with his son.

...can Bill Clinton seriously not understand why he of all people couldn't get away with that?

Romosome · « **Reply #692 on:** January 28, 2009, 01:19:22 PM »

I think he's very well aware of it and that's just the closest he wanted to come to calling Bush a disgusting pig for making "too ugly to fuck" jokes at a press conference.

Ocksi · « **Reply #693 on:** January 28, 2009, 09:09:42 PM »

i saw some blogs about this earlier. even real blogs like kos or atrios or something. the suggestion is that this is sexist and that even bill's comment was somewhat sexist.

i am curious as to when "ugly" became synonymous with "sexist"

Thad · « **Reply #694 on:** January 28, 2009, 09:18:26 PM »

...you don't see what's sexist about a joke which boils a women's rights issue down to "Boy, I sure didn't want to fuck HER"?

Transportation · « **Reply #695 on:** January 29, 2009, 07:32:27 AM »

I don't really see at as a comment on female inferiority, just a little bit of irony about that specific person.

It's about as sexist as jokes about how the only pro-life people are sexist men or ugly women. Both strike me as massive generalizations/red herrings more than anything else, which is what most jokes are.

Zaratustra · « **Reply #696 on:** January 29, 2009, 07:46:15 AM »

just because it's common doesn't mean it's not offensive

TA · « **Reply #697 on:** January 29, 2009, 01:19:49 PM »

A bit of irony about that specific person wouldn't be misogynist, no. But in that context, coming from that person, it's belittling the pro-choice movement, and that is misogynist. Joking that ugly women won't have to worry about whether or not they can abort isn't cool.

Romosome · « **Reply #698 on:** January 29, 2009, 04:19:34 PM »

Debating just how sexist it is kind of misses the point, which is that it's just plain fucking crude and it's shocking that a former president threw it out as an off-the-cuff yuk-yuk. Way unclassy.

It came out of a President Bush. That was a foregone conclusion.
