Weekly Round Up

I am nothing if not a woman who will beat a dead horse - particularly if that dead horse will give up a blog post.  Because you all enjoyed my delightful slant on the week's news, here's this week's version:

Peter King.  You are a fucking tool.  IRA supporter decides to hold hearings on the threat of home-grown Islamic terrorism?  Takes a thief to catch a thief?  Is that the deal? Jackass.

Wisconsin Republicans. You. Fucking. WANKERS. You should be writhing around in shame for your cowardice and selfishness and complete and total assholery.  Except looking at you, I don't think any one of you has a conscience and so you are all probably enjoying sipping baby-tear-martinis and eating unicorn steaks.

General Strike.  HELL. YES.  And I am not just saying that because I currently have some time on my hands.

Chuck Schumer.  Kick ass, baby.  Stand tall.  I am a firm believer that people simply need things explained to them so that they can understand them and see the light.  Busting the GOP party line about fiscal responsibility and deficit reduction wide open?  Brilliant.  Now, you other fucking wussy Dems, GET ON THAT MESSAGE.  Jesus.  It's exhausting being liberal.

International Women's Day.  I didn't do anything.  Partly because I'm not a joiner, or rah rah go vagina type person even though I am an ardent feminist [although YAY for vaginas, right?], but mainly because anytime I thought about celebrating the fact that I'm a woman or celebrating women in general, I would go on Twitter and see that women in Egypt who were trying to have a demonstration for International Women's Day were being harassed and grabbed.  In Tahrir Square, for fuck's sake.  Plus ca change, plus ca meme chose.

Charlie Sheen.  Fired?  Go to rehab.

Did I miss anything?

Oh, and while it may not be on any of the major networks, Andygirl and I are very eager to see what you've got for this month's Raw Photos Contest - What Makes You Laugh?  SHOW!
