Today just feels weird. People are in weird moods. Everything seems hostile. And I keep telling myself “just start new now” but nothing’s really changing. I need a shift! Coffee time, perhaps?!
This is so my day today!
Mine too. Mercury must be in retrograde or something. I drank a glass of water, took a walk around the block and drank another glass. Maybe that can...
The Republican Death Spiral by Nate Silver →
chuckmore:
I hadn’t been to FiveThirtyEight in a long time, basically since the election, and forgot how awesome Nate always is. Here he brings to light some more Republican bullshit that I hadn’t read about anywhere else.
It’s not just the goose egg that the House Republicans laid on the Democratic stimulus package yesterday: Boehner’s Boys have been equally uncooperative on other matters....

I don’t want to be a uterus nazi, you know, your womb - your multiple births or whatever. BUT FUCK. Knowing the link between fertility treatments and multiple births, and then also knowing that you already have SIX CHILDREN, why get more fertility treatment?
There is a recession and this is not the same as “buying American.”
UN CUTE.
25 things you probably didn't need to know
A lot of people have tagged me on this little meme. I’m sorry, but I’m not doing it. I have a blog. Every day I share at least 25 things that you likely didnt need to know about me.
So it goes
Joy: you’ve seen Dr. Horrible, right?
Boy: Er… that’s the one with grown up Doogie Howser, right?
Joy: Neil Patrick Harris, yes. And its directed by Joss Whedon
Boy: Joss Whedon..?
Joy: The creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer?
Boy: Do I look like the type of guy who watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer?
Joy: Sometimes I honestly dont know why I date you

The GOP’s opposition to putting $330 million stimulus dollars towards STD prevention funding could hurt their own constituents: Gonorrhea, Chlamydia and Syphilis, the most prevalent non-AIDS STDs, are unusually high in Red States.

Questions I’ve been asked by 3 of my closest friends in the last 24 hours:
What is Twitter?
What is Digg?
What exactly do you do?
Sometimes I feel like I live, simultaneously, in two different worlds.
I know the feeling.
WatchAnd then the Internet was like, “I know you’re kind of having a crap week, Joy, so I’m going to send a Capucine video your way.” And I was like, “Well that’s really solid, Internet, thanks.”

So the Republicans didnt support this, and yet funding for reproductive health programs was taken out in order to garner Republican support? Awesomeness. Total awesomeness.

The House just passed the stimulus bill with no Republican support. It’s going to take a lot more than a few beers to change the tone in Washington.

Mary Rambin thinks I fail as a woman
drunkengenius:
Well, welcome to the club of failed women, babe. Can I get you a fetus cookie or an abortion doughnut while I tell a couple of offensive abortion jokes?
Its a great club, love. Pass me an abortion doughnut, the next round of bourbon’s on me.

Joy walks down the street and sees a 20-something boy with a Maine sweatshirt.

But that’s okay with Mary Rambin because she has choices, you know.
Yesterday the Cometic Physicians Society of Australasia (CPSA) urged its members not to administer Botox to pregnant women following reports linking a woman’s use of the toxin during her pregnancy in 2005 to her child being born deaf and blind. The woman did not use Botox, but a rival botulinum type A toxin called...

Good prediction article. In short…a lefty but not liberal woman. The front runners are all well known judges. With Stevens or Souter likely the justice stepping down, the ideological shift of the court will be negligible, at least in theory.

My Soapbox, I'm on it.
Dear Mary Rambin,
When I read this post, my heart starting beating so fast I actually had to walk away from my computer. The fact that you have the audacity to compare your cosmetic surgery to a woman’s right to choose merely illustrates the fact that you fundamentally do not understand the issue at hand. Before Roe v. Wade women were taking drastic measures in order to end their pregnancies. From...
