Franken Takes Down Anti-Gay Witness For Mischaracterizing Study

II

I love you Al Franken. If the only thing you ever do in your political career is show this people how ignorant they are... that will be enough.

And in case anyone is wondering here's what the writers of the study had to say about it:

“Sen. Franken is right,” the lead author of the study told POLITICO. The survey did not exclude same-sex couples, said Debra L. Blackwell, Ph.D., nor did it exclude them from the “nuclear family” category provided their family met the study’s definition.

The study’s definition of nuclear family is: “one or more children living with two parents who are married to one another and are each biological or adoptive parents of all the children in the family."

Denying Existence Of Record Heat Wave, Limbaugh Suggests The Heat Index Is A Government Conspiracy

Denying Existence Of Record Heat Wave, Limbaugh Suggests The Heat Index Is A Government Conspiracy

REALLY?? I'm not sure what disgusts me the most, the lengths this man will go to attack this Government, or the fact that some out there will actually listen to this and BELIEVE him.

I mean it doesn't take much to disprove this - a quick glance at the National Weather Service website will show exactly how full-o-crap Limbaugh really is.

So does this mean that Limbaugh is:

1) so stupid he believes this crap?

2) He believes none of his core audience will fact check him? or

3) He just doesn't give a damn?

Oh how exciting....

A brand spanking new blog to fill with ..... Well crap... I really hadn't thought that far in advance. I was truly thinking only about the nice neat little *100* my teacher was going to give me when he saw that I'd completed the assignment.


But somewhere along the way, I started getting excited about the possibilities inherent in a new journal/blog/venue. I started oohing and aahing over the templates, the colors, - heck even the fonts made me happy. I thought about the blogs I admired ( Love Ya, Mean It! especially) and thought, "HELL YEAH!!" I can do that!! NO SWEAT. 


Well that was then.... and this is now. Now I actually have to find a topic to write about. 


I suppose I could write about the unbelievable stupidity running rampant in D.C. right now. About how I've gone from the type of person who stood outside for hours, in the sleet and freezing rain to support my favorite candidate, to a person who barely cares.  I'm so disgusted in our political system. 


I could write about this insane heat we've been having in Tx and how I'd rather be at the beach.... but if you've spent more then an hour around me, you know that the beach is my passion and I'm always trying to get back there. 


Of course, there's always the stories about about family and all the crazy things they do... but I'd like to keep breathing for a while longer. 


I could brag about my super smart daughter... 


Or about my funny little nephew full of vim and vigor...


But for now, I'll just leave you with this thought:


Is it really possible to have a blog and not be at least a little bit of a narcissist?
