American women.... STFU

So I was reading an article talking about basically how Tunisia is facing some hard choices now and one of them is what and how big a role religion will/should play in the political landscape of the future.

Worth a read.

Anyways, the reason i'm posting is to point out a part of the article i read that made me say "god damn, the chicks in this country really don't know just how good they got it.  I swear the next girl I hear complain about how OPPRESSED women are here i think i might have to slap her."  Here's the part.....

She shared in the joy of the overthrow of what she described as Mr. Ben Ali’s kleptocratic government. But she also says she believes that the government’s crackdown on any Muslim groups it considered extremist, a draconian police program that included monitoring those who prayed regularly, helped protect the rights of women.

OK, so to summarize.... if she were talking about here she's basically saying that the only way she'd feel safe is if the government were allowed to and frequently did, watch and occasionally kick the shit out of the Westboro Baptist Church and the Mormons.  That's how fucking bad it is.  The chicks in that country WELCOME a government that engages in religious oppression of sorts. 

I also had to stop and wonder "how the fuck is it that they get it over there we still can't get our leaders or the people who elect them to get it over here?"  when i read this.

Protesters held up signs saying, “Politics ruins religion and religion ruins politics.”

I know we like to PRETEND there's a separation of church and state in this country, but until i start seeing some open Atheists elected to high government positions, I call bullshit.

Robocop

Good news: Detroit will be getting a Robocop statue.

Bad News: you have to go to Detroit to see it.

New favorite site

My friend Phil pointed me to this site the other day.

Don't even reply

basically it's some guy emailing replies to ads and just fucking with people.  It's fucking hilarious.

Like this one.... Angry TV buyer

I just love how the guy comes totally unhinged at the end.

Mono-D'OH!!!

I agree with instapundit.... screw the high speed rail, we need a monorail. I got dibbs on being Nimoy.

Joker

I kinda like this.

Good reading

My best friend Chris Badeaux started a website with some friends and he's writing articles for it. The website is

newledger.com

here's a great example of his writing. This is an article on the foreign powers and the kind of danger we face now.

Chris is a masterful writer. I highly recommend it.

Recommendations

I have a few things online to recommend.

- Zero Punction This guy is great. The animation makes the ranting 50 times better. Try to imagine a British version of me.

- xkcd A very smart, offbeat, and funny comic. Stick figure drawing, mathmatical references galore, and some deep thoughts about love and loss.

- Facebook. check out my profile pic. tee hee.

- The Pirate Bay if you don't know about Torrents, i highly suggest you learn. Kiss paying for music and movies goodbye. Rediscover old TV shows. Get some software.

- Filehippo tired of paying for software? Plenty of free replacements for the stuff you're probably paying out the ass for right now. Better stuff too. For example, tell Adobe Acrobat and its 1 hour start-up time to shove off and get FoxIt. Give Microsoft Office the finger and get Openoffice. Give Norton a huge foot in the mouth, punch to the gut, and bullet to the brain... and get AVG.

Bacon

Daffy

Funniest part of this one, 3:45. ooooooh brother!!!




One of the best. ah the good old days. remember when it was OK to make fun of people you were at war with?

Spaceships

Link to

Great Spaceship Sacrifices.

with video.

this is good stuff. personally i think the Pegasus from Battlestar Galactica is the best. Simply because the whole episode was just plain fucking awesome. I mean, you're watching and you're thinking, "oh man how the hell are they getting out of this one?" and then Lee shows up and starts whooping Cylon ass. This was the same episode that had the Galactica entering the planet's atmosphere, launching fighters, and then hyperjumping a few hundred feet off the ground in a fit of TV badassery.


UPDATE: here you go. both scenes. god this was an awesome episode.

Picture story

this is....

(a) very creative
(b) confusing as all hell
(c) awesome
(d) FUCKED UP
(e) all of the above


i pick "e"

Real Life

i thought i'd plug something.

Greg Dean has launched a new book.

For those of you who don't know, Greg is the creator of a webcomic called Reallifecomic. He bases most of his stories on his life, hence the name. I've followed his work for quite a while and it's my favorite right up there with Penny Arcade. Anyway, about his new book. It's a notes book on his comic. It will get you up to speed on his comic.

Peace

Who's ready to laugh?

How some retard like Kuchinich got a smoking hot wife like her....

101 Simpsons quotes

Some are actually just 2 lines in the same conversation, but hey it's still funny.

I'd like to also point out that no quotes are from past the 8th or 9th season. Since that's when the show ceased being funny.

anyway, here you go.
