I'm planning my wedding with my fiancee and I don't think we've ever been asked what kind of couple we are. I mean we're a straight couple, but when I've called places no one has asked, "are you one of them gay couples?"
So is this pizza place doing that? To every customer? Seems like bad business. "Thank you for calling Memories Pizza, May I take your order, unless your gay?"

I imagine the proprietors of Memories Pizza think all gay people talk like Paul Lynnde.

Judith MIller has a new oped in the WSJ about :qq:

quote:

Years would pass before U.S. soldiers found remnants of some 5,000 inoperable chemical munitions made before the first Gulf War that Saddam claimed to have destroyed. Not until 2014 would the U.S. learn that some of Iraq’s degraded sarin nerve agent was purer than Americans had expected and was sickening Iraqi and American soldiers who had stumbled upon it.

By then, however, most Americans had concluded that no such weapons existed. These were not new chemical arms, to be sure, but Saddam Hussein’s refusal to account for their destruction was among the reasons the White House cited as justification for war.

It's all lolworthy but especially the assertion that degraded chemical weapons that the Bush administration knew about before the fact but determined that they would not be a useful argument in favor of invading Iraq were the WMDs we were after.

Conservatives believe that all of our problems are caused by system abuse and government waste because if it turned out that "welfare" programs were actually good and helpful and compassionate then we might have to pay for them and raise taxes :ohdear:

There seems to be this implicit belief among conservatives that if you defund systems they will magically fix themselves to be more efficient.

The only thing that is not wrong with all government agencies/programs is funding. We need an It's a Wonderful Life Special Operations Team to kidnap conservatives while they sleep and put them in completely immersive VR simulations of the actual world they want to build and the end result of their policies so they can see what hell they would bring.

I wonder if conservatives will change up the type of cards used for SNAP and WIC benefits soon. In October everyone will have to use chip and signature/pin and they will no longer be able to quickly identify whether the person in front of them is someone just using a debit card or a filthy poor who they can sneer at for buying the decadent heavy syrup variety of canned peaches.

A good work around for this is to assume all minorities are on welfare.

Calling out Walker is pretty good, although he should've included the ISIS remark as well.

I disagree because Walker being in a battle of words with Obama raises his national profile.

He needs to be battling with Rand and Ted Cruz, help them move up the ranks.

The left needs to just loving drop gun control. In addition to polarizing centrists who like guns, it's actively counterproductive, because we need to be arming and training the poor (especially poor minorities). Anyone who wants guns to be banned is forgetting that laws don't apply to our real enemies; it'll just widen the force gap between them and us.
