“We’ve got John TraVOOOLLLLLTTAAAAAAAA!!!”
solid gold to take you into the night.
I swear I already have almost this exact mix on my computer, only with a different Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam song, and no Evelyn King. AND THAT IS WHY NU-IDOLATOR MAKES ME CRY.
That’s a limerick, not a haiku. [/poetrypedant]there was a young lady named anna
in the sun she got progressively tann-ah
she’s smart and she’s witty
and also she’s pretty
that’s why she’s better than a banana!
if you are very nice and totally awesome perhaps some day i will write one for you. but anna sets a high bar.
Just to pile on, as it seems the popular thing to do today, I’m finding the revamped Idolator startlingly similar to that evil zombie Sassy that made me weep salty Christina-Kelly-missing tears of adolescent anguish my freshman year of high school.
Hey, guess what, I’m morally opposed to the Iraq war. Give me my money back.from the floor “debate” on the stupak amendment:
Mrs. BACHMANN. Mr. Speaker, it all begins with life and with protecting the most vulnerable among us, the unborn. Life is the watershed issue of our generation. How can one claim to call the destruction of innocent human life “health care”? Orwellian statements aside, it is the duty of government to preserve and protect human life. If we do nothing else tonight, let’s choose life.
Mr. SMITH of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, abortion not only kills children; it harms women physically and psychologically, and it risks significant harm to subsequent children. We have and are going to have more disabling, because of abortion.
Mr. ELLSWORTH. Since this debate started, my goal has been to ensure Federal taxpayer dollars are not used to pay for abortions and to provide Americans with pro-life options on this exchange. I have been proud to work with Mr. Stupak and all my colleagues and the Catholic Bishops to make the goal a reality. Getting to this point has not been very easy, but today we’re on the brink of passing health care reform that honors and respects life at every stage, including the unborn.Mr. PITTS. I urge my colleagues to stand with the majority of the American people, to oppose establishing a Federal Government program that will directly fund abortion on demand, to keep the government out of the business of promoting abortion as health care, and support this amendment.
Mr. PENCE. Ending an innocent human life is morally wrong, but it’s also morally wrong to take the taxpayer dollars of millions of Americans and use them to provide for a procedure that they find morally offensive. In the Congress of the United States, we have a responsibility to respect the moral beliefs of the majority of the American people.
Over 600,000 science and engineering degrees are granted annually from American universities.(1)
The US produces only 120,000 science and engineering jobs per year (much less lately; the number may now be negative).(2)
That leaves 480,000 graduates per year without jobs in their chosen careers. Add to this over 250,000 H-1B, L-1, and trade visas each year. Half a million Americans are losing their jobs to cheap foreign technical workers every year. Another half million Americans waste their S&E degrees on non-S&E jobs.
Oh, Femputer. The world is less awesome for the loss of you.The estate of the late, great Bea Arthur — aka Maude, aka Dorothy Petrillo Sbornak — has donated $300,000 to the Ali Forney Center. The nation’s largest organization dedicated to homeless GLBT youth, the center announced at Arthur’s memorial service last month that they planned to purchase a building to house 12 youths and name it her honor.
The Ali Forney Center offers emergency shelter and transitional housing in numerous residential sites in New York City, and operates drop-in centers offering food, clothing, medical and mental health treatment, HIV testing, treatment and prevention services, and vocational and educational assistance — providing services to over 1,000 young people each year.
