Mike's Blog Round Up
Michael from The Reaction here. So much good stuff, let's get right to it:
Mustang Bobby at BBWW: Don't ignore the Malkins and Coulters of the world, make fun of them. (And, I would add, call them out on their bigotry and stupidity.)
Pam with the steamin' House Blend: Oh no! Sexual addition among female fundies! Internet porn! Masturbation! Good times.
Maha of Mahablog: Dalai Lama Derangement Syndrome.
Libby Spencer at The Impolitic (who also blogs at my place and at the very fine Newshoggers): Bush's new "Family Planning czar," yet another anti-sex wingnut. See also Thought Theater.
The Gun Toting Liberal: American Oligarchy -- Verizon, AT&T, and the corporatist police state.
Eric at Total Information Awareness: The insurgency in Somalia, and the brutality of America's allies in the region. (Yes, Bush is destroying America's image everywhere.)
Finally, L-girl at We Move to Canada reacts positively to the Doris Lessing Nobel win.
I'm sorry I can't link to everyone, but keep the e-mails coming: mjwstickings [at] yahoo [dot] ca
Fundie women define sexual addiction as "enjoying it."
>"Oh no! Sexual addition"
mmmm ... calculators ....
Sexual addition, what are those naughty sororities counting?
Has Turkey invaded Iraq yet? Has oil reached $90/barrel? (it was $23/barrel in Jan 2001) Wait for the weekend.
Kucinich.
In a 2001, Orr embraced a Bush administration proposal to “stop requiring all health insurance plans for federal employees” to cover a broad range of birth control. “We’re quite pleased, because fertility is not a disease,” said Orr.
Niether is Erectile Dysfunction, but I guarantee they pay for Viagra.

Mission Accomplished
Brownback is quitting.
not enough money.
The conservatives have found something else to pin on Obama besides the flag pin; he's a distant cousin of dick chainey.
Defense Industry Embraces Democrats, Hillary By Far The Favorite
October 17, 2007 11:07 PM
The defense industry this year abandoned its decade-long commitment to the Republican Party, funneling the lion share of its contributions to Democratic presidential candidates, especially to Hillary Clinton who far out-paced all her competitors.
An examination of contributions of $500 or more, using the Huffington Post's Fundrace website, shows that employees of the top five arms makers - Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop-Grumman, Raytheon and General Dynamics -- gave Democratic presidential candidates $103,900, with only $86,800 going to Republicans.
Senator Clinton took in $52,600, more than half of the total going to all Democrats, and a figure equaling 60 percent of the sum going to the entire GOP field. Her closest competitor for defense industry money is former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney (R.), who raised $32,000.
Insofar as defense workers making political donations reflect the interests of their employers, the contributions clearly suggest that the arms industry has reach the conclusion that Democratic prospects for 2008 are very good indeed. Since their profits are so heavily dependent on government contracts, companies in this field want to be sure they do not have hostile relations with the White House.
The strong support for Clinton indicates that a majority of defense industry executives currently believe Clinton is a favorite to win the Democratic nomination and, in November, 2008, the general election.

Fertility may not be a disease, but Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Endometriosis are.
Racism never declines, it becomes less fashionable.
How can the US not be racist when its foundation is based on racism?
Yeah and? And the Jews don't believe Christ is their Savior. In man-ann's world she's definitely speaking for the 24%ers (he he) she barely has an audience. That says a lot.
I can't believe he's getting off on repugs' rudeness. Come on now, rudeness is the least of our problems with these nuts.
I don't believe in the sticks and stones philosophy; words can and do kill.
The repugs are fools; they're chimpy's court jesters. They are so far gone they become ridiculous, unbelievable and deadly.
Yeah I'm going to add a dash of name calling, because some words just do it for me.
Most of the words repugs say are deadly and full of vile.
No laughing for me.
Yep... some Christians I talk to are shocked that Buddha isn't the exact equivalent of Jesus... but I guess its natural to try to wedge everything into the worldview that you grew up with. For one thing, the concept of sin is non-existent in Buddhism, so there is no sin to be saved from. Second, Buddha is just a title for someone who's fully enlightened, so they get confused that there is more than one Buddha.
Tooooo Bad!!

Goddamn it:
Well who needs a judicial branch of government anyway when the Preznit, and now congress, not only legislate and enforce the laws but also interpret them?

Sounds like one can really get "familiar" with anybody in 6 months.
Their missions are comical.
