If the anti-abortion movement took a tenth of the energy they put into noisy theatrics…

…and devoted it to improving the lives of children who have been born into lives of poverty, violence, and neglect, they could make a world shine.

Let me dispel a myth here. Women (the overwhelming majority) who get an abortion do not do so lightly. Nor do they regard abortion as contraception.

Sometimes, it is just not viable to continue the pregnancy to the stage where there is a viable human being.

And sometimes, those seeking abortions are the loudest pro-lifers.

Because life is often complex and difficult and involves choices that grieve us, that we wish could be made differently.

…next Tuesday.

John McCain called his wife a C*NT. Seriously. It was recorded. The press just went, “oh wow, serious word”. And ignored it.

Of course, here on the Internet, we don’t roll that way….

We are not as hypocritical as the mainstream media. We do not think we should turn a blind eye to the failings of ‘family’ candidates, while bleating on as if Barrack Obama is a ‘Muslim’, and other falsehoods.

Personally, I think they are sickening parasites now.
Walter Cronkite’s legacy is gone.

Anyway, here is a fun look at the whole thing. Naturally, language NSFW.

Integrity is doing the right thing…

June 18th, 2008 by timelady

…even if nobody is watching.

Jon Stewart NAILS the media on rumour mongering passed off as news.

Isn’t it sad that a comedy show has more information and honesty, integrity and common sense than ‘mainstream media’?

No, it is obscene. What we have made, people. We get the media we deserve, too.

The media’s power is…

…frail. Without the people’s support, it can be shut off with the ease of turning a light switch.

There are many reasons why more and more people choose to get their news more from Jon Stewart on The Daily Show than from the traditional outlets. Let me show you one:

To become truly great…

…one has to stand with people, not above them.

To announce that there must be no criticism of the president…

May 28th, 2008 by timelady

…or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.

Two goodbyes.

The American Dream has run out of gas. The car has stopped. It no longer supplies the world with…

May 24th, 2008 by timelady

…its images, its dreams, its fantasies. No more. It’s over. It supplies the world with its nightmares now: the Kennedy assassination, Watergate, Vietnam…

Keith Olbermann comments on Hillary Clinton’s commenting on the assassination of Bobby Kennedy, as relating to the current campaign. Seriously. She bought assassination into it. Really. I have watched it again and again, trying to make sense of why she would say this. All I can think is, this woman has gotten desperate and frightening. Why would anyone elect someone like this?

Part 1:

Part 2:

Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished…

May 7th, 2008 by timelady

…by being governed by those who are dumber.

I thought the Westminster System we use in Australia was weird. American elections of DELEGATES, wild crazy stuff. Especially if you are Hillary Clinton, who I once quite admired, and now despise as an example of power corrupting…

Anyway, see if you can follow Keith Olbermann’s explanation.

As an official celebrity…

…I know my endorsement just made your mind up for you.

Tom Hanks, the man of gentle wit and dry humour, has summed up for me why (if I was American), I would vote Obama.

Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment nothing can fail…

April 12th, 2008 by timelady

…without it nothing can succeed. He who molds public sentiment
goes deeper than he who enacts statutes or decisions possible or
impossible to execute.

The Daily Show has shown us how to truly regard Fox ‘News’. One of the best bits of reporting of the year. Funny, acid genius. Michael Moore wishes he was this good.
