You know, I don’t really have anything against straight people. They’re entitled to do whatever it is they feel like they need to do. They gross me out a little, sure, but you know, things have come a long way in the last twenty years or so. Far be it from me to judge their lifestyle choices.
I have to draw the line at straight marriage, though. I mean, it’s not natural. It’s not what god intended, and clearly its consequences are rarely thought out by the young people like Jenna Bush and her dog-walker fiancee who are so eager to embrace it. Honestly, I don’t care what our president’s daughter does in her free time, but must they constantly rub our noses in it? Okay, you’re straight. We get it. Enough already.
Look, for example, what marriage did to Britney Spears. Heterosexual matrimony sets its adherents’ feet on a slippery, dangerous path of destruction that leads to drugs, promiscuous sex, and bad parenting. It is a menace to our society and it must be stopped.
Another serious strike against heterosexuality is its popularity among Right-Wing Opinionati like Jules Crittenden, who took some time out from getting behind the stalled War on Terror and pushing while one of his buddies struggles with the wheel and finding Iranian operatives lurking in the tea chest to bash Dave Neiwert for his essay here on Sunday about being a stay-at-home Dad.
Hey, Neiwert, you want to be a real man … try having more kids. One’s like a hobby. That’s like boutique parenthood. I’m kicking myself because we stopped at three. What was I thinking?
That maybe it’s irresponsible to squeeze out more baby wingnuts than you can feed?
But in Crittenden’s pointy little head, it is essential that white people have more babies, a moral imperative. Why? Because The Darkies are Breeding Like Flies.
Look, staying home with the kids is fine, if that’s what you want to do. Nothing wrong with it. If your wife can take six months off every two years to squeeze another one out and breastfeed it, then fine. But for God’s sake stop whining about your manliness and use it. I have bad news for you. The people doing all the breeding around the world aren’t interested in consciousness-expanding gender neutrality and growing as New Age androgenoids or reducing their carbon footprints or trying to understand you in order to respect your differences or any of that. They are interested in your stuff, however, and sooner or later, they will swamp your kind out of existence. And a lot of them might not even bothering sticking around to be fathers at all while they’re at it.
In other words, if we don’t fuck more western white babies into existence, brown people are going to bust into our houses and steal all our “stuff”. This is that same mentality we heard so much about on the NRO’s Boat to Nowhere Tour and it’s the same crap we get from John Gibson and Bill Bennett.
Get that? White babies good. Brown babies bad.
And furthermore, Crittenden says dads who stay home with their kids are pussies.
Now, to start doing your duty … as a man, as an American … you’ll need to swap jobs with your wife. She’s the one with the uterus and the breasts, after all, and if you’re going to be pumping out kids, she’s going to be using those. Let’s face it, while any real man can wipe a kid’s ass, do the dishes and the laundry, read kids bedtime stories, cook dinner, all that, moms tend to make better mothers. You know why? Because they do. Some of them are horrible failures at motherhood, and some guys are better at it than women. Some guys are horrible failures at fatherhood, and some women are better at it than men. So what. Most guys I know make better dads than moms, and its all they can do to manage that.
At the time of this writing, there is no word if Crittenden and that coat-tail riding moron Mrs. InstaPrawn (who started this particularly noisome round of “Real Men Don’t Change Diapers”) will be calling stay-at-home, single-child dads James Lileks and Jeff Goldstein limp-wristed, feminized, over-intellectualized New Age pansies to their faces or merely by imputation.

Nice, LL!!!
thanks CT, you know what they say about age and treachery ;-)
Dayam, TRex, does this mean I should become asexual to stay out of the line of fire?

Evening, firepups!
Suzanne @ 10
sympathies, suz. are you doing anything for it?
There is always the possibility that Jules Crittenden is an incredibly talented satirist.
Alright, TRex, I’ll concede some definitely should not procreate, Crittenden, surely is one… but, don’t you want us liberals to procreate, as disgusting as the ritual may be…??? *g*
Some of your best stuff, TRex. Very well done.
Sort of apropos of tonight’s topic.
I took Man-Cub back-to-school shopping today, and at each store we visited, it seemed like there was an example of an over-stressed mom trying to manage multiple kids and flirting with losing it completely.
I took the opportunity to remind him that such are the consequences of unprotected sex.
I missed Dave’s thread while it was live, but as the primary caregiver to The Kid around our house, and the chief cook M-F, I loved Dave’s post.
And then there’s the wingnuts.
*sigh*
Go get ‘em, TRex.
Good evening, one and all!
Firstly, thanks to PB, Loo Hoo and Suzanne for the info on inserting links into text from last nights postings. I think I can figure it out, but it’s been quite a day and my brain is mush right now so perhaps I will attempt it later.
Nextly, who is this Crittenden cretin? Does he bash women over the head with a club and drag them off to his cave?
Lastly, does anyone think that the upcomming wedding of Jenna Bush is anything more than a shiny trinket thrown out to distract the unwashed masses from what is really going on? And is there any doubt that many sheep will follow gladly along?
I have a sympathy headhurt and am not fluent in wingnutese, but does that guy have a point in the last paragraph other than David’s duty is to be a father because he’s a man and not a woman? Because it all seemed to be just a lot of blithering.
Suzanne @ 10
Bummer, Ma Cheri!!! *g*
speaking of getting f*ck*d, has anyone noticed that Brad The Schloz jumped ship today at DOJ. He’s the one who ran the Voting Rights Supression Division of DOJ (the tag on the door was leftover from when DOJ wasn’t an arm of the RepubliNazi Party). No word on why yet.
Hey! I was a brown baby!
Let’s face it, some people just need to be slapped and sterilized, preferably BEFORE they contribute to the gene pool.
Yes, some gene pools really should be chlorinated.
Could be that Crittenden is lashing out because he suspects, deep down, that David might just be a better and more involved parent than he is?
*not a parent here, just an auntie, and just a wild-ass guess
Looks like a Dem Congressman from California has been charged with assault and battery after a scuffle with an airline employee at Dulles International Airport last night.

Brown babies are so dang cute! Mine were pretty adorable, but kinda pasty and pale till they got a bit bigger and played out in the sun just a bit (with appropriate sunblock, of course!)
Says Jules, “Most guys I know make better dads than moms, and its all they can do to manage that.”
It’s all they can do? Sounds like he needs to hang out with a better class of guys.
Betcha Crittenden was playing with his joystick when he wrote all that “Urge to Surge” stuff…but alas 4 martinis later like usual he was snoring on the floor.

This is actually an issue in Mandatory Medicare/Medicaid (which will inevitably be the US version of universal healthcare because the bureaucracy is already in place). A number of people have suggested in discussions on this sort of system, long term, that it ought to require full contraception, doctor managed, for all women until they are in a situation where the child/children are able to be supported.
Room for a lot of abuse there, but it may happen…
Crittenden is just jealous that he is not the (in)famous author guy.
Bush has increased spending 41% and revenue only 21% in 6 years. Except for Medicare, Part D does anyone know what he is spending the money on?

If you want to see what the wing-nuts want..go shopping in the Idaho Falls Wal-Mart or a Wal-Mart or Sam’s in Utah. Mid-Twenties women, who look worn out. One or two kids in the shopping basket, two walking and one in-utero; all spaced ~16 months apart. Most don’t look too happy at being reproductive units with a uterus and breasts.

Sorry. DonSanto is (or was, but I think still is) the chief of the Voting Rights Section. Schlozman claimed that he was ordered by DonSanto explicitly via email traffic between Schlozmans aide and DonSanto to indict in the Acorn suit in MO.
After Schlozman testified, he “corrected’ his testimony to exclude that assertion. He perjured himself in front of Leahys committee.
TRex @ 32
Don’t they have a Spin cycle in there somewhere?
althespook @ 43
Just found out Schloz dived last week and only now is it being revealed. When reached on his cell phone, schloz admitted the resignation and hung up.
In short, he may have dived the same day as Rove. Now wouldn’t THAT be interesting (since Rove’s fingerprints are all over the caging scheme among others…)
Wouldn’t it be odd if THAT was what make rove jump, he’s about to be indicted for voter interference or whatever the legal term is. If he had been sitting in the white house when that broke, hoo boy…
I know one baby that was ugly.
And I know I was born skinny and my mom said I looked like a pluck chicken. And my older brother tried to trade me for a kitten.

Suzanne @ 52
Well, I’ve got a new address, though the bills haven’t all caught up with me yet and there are still boxes around.
The biggest thing is the shift in time zones, though. Yesterday I was going to call my parents in Illinois, mentally added two hours to make sure I’d catch them at home, and decided to wait for an hour as they had plans earlier in the day. An hour later, I realized that since I’m now in KC, we’re in the same time zone again (*slaps head*) and I can quit doing that.
Of course, it also means Late Nite FDL really is Late Night. I used to really enjoy reading the next morning’s WaPo and chatting here in the early evening (west coast time), but now . . . not going to happen nearly so often.

The Schloz may be going to jail, see http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com for info on Schloz
Of course, Bush commuted Scooter sentence but I don’t think Bush even knows Schloz is alive and would not waste the ink.

DonSanto denied ordering the indictment immediately after Schlozmen testified, and the next day Schlozman (or DOJ) corrected the record of Schlozmans testimony. But too late – Schlozman was asked by at least 3 Senators a half a dozen times where the order to indict came from. They pressed him hard.

SOMETHING is making these people in the current admin jump ship early. Rove and Schloz may have left on the same day, and I don’t buy that either he or Chimpy wanted to have it happen.
What it is, we don’t know. We may find out after the recess ends.
And Ghod Help Chimpy if he violates his “no recess appointment” promise. I think that would pretty much push a lot of senators right over the line. Let’s hope he does it…

The AG isn’t untoucable, he can be impeached. and being recess appointed would be grounds IMHO.
I wasn’t thinking of that position because chimpy will never let fredo go willingly, fedo knows too much. I was thinking more along the lines of secretary of state or something…
Let’s not forget, most of the problems in the world are caused by straight people…

These days with AGAG, they’re one and the same. Contemnor, prosecutor, prosecuted.. whatever.

He’d love to try but I don’t think so. For the guy to have the job, it has be announced or something, IMHO.
Speaking as an effete dishrecycling, latte cooking, zero-carbonating hetero wimpy androgyno-manoid, that Crittenden enlightened me. I feel a change comin on. I feel my manhood unleashed because I finally understood the bottom line on that winger manhood thing:
“Keep your %$#! hands off my &#!! stuff!”
Very manly.
I’m gonna get me a shotgun and practice. Strangers lookin to git my stuff. I used to to plug jackrabbits and varmints on the ranch. I can plug mass quantities of brown people and liberals comin to git ma stuff.
Dang straight.
I feel manly.
You wimpy progressive on this blog, you keep your hands off my stuff too, I don’t care if you’re all white males in momma’s basement… nobody gets their hands on my stuff.
O crap, my stuff is mainly math and statistics books, and ratty banged up camping and gardening stuff. She don’t have much stuff either. We are not “stuff” people. I’m not even man enough to have manly stuff. Shit.

No. He meant we should have more kids so they could enjoy the freedoms of a liberal society, grow up to have a real voice in great democratic decisions of war and peace, to engage in free and open debate leading to the spread of knowledge, wisdom and a truly good life.
And by stuff he didn’t mean “stuff”, he meant our freedoms, our liberty, or ability to freely explore, voice our opinions and dissent, to engage in true democratic life from the corner school house, to the state house all the way to the great national decisions of…

Only slightly OT, here’s a hilarious new conspiracy the wingnuts are up in arms about, courtesy of the Washington Times:
Apparently ever since Bush dared to disagree with them about immigration, the xenophobes have been seeing One World Government around every corner!
Should we tell them that the European Union was arranged through decades of public discussion, not a secret plan by national leaders that was sprung on their people without warning? Nah…
“Pasty” is Righty blogger Jeff Goldstein, who runs Protein Wisdom. He fancies himself a comic talent, but you know how that always turns out coming from a conservative. Mallard Filmore, anyone?
I don’t know how he ended up being called Pasty. That happened before I knew who he was.
He’s notorious for not having a job (Gotta stay home and raise the kid!), not serving in the military (they wouldn’t let him bring his little yellow crazy-pills!), and being one of those Winger guys I was talking about recently who goes into full-on frothing, screeching mode any time you say the words, “Jane” and “Hamsher” in the same sentence.

the ‘yellowpup’’s pediatrician took him off whole milk at about 6.
I’ve always drank whole milk – go through about 2 gallons a week or so – but switched over to low fat a while ago. Can’t stand that fake blue non-fat stuff tho. Use real butter to – no fake margerine only one chemical away from plastic.
I think my comment at 184 was in moderation, and got released. If you didn’t see it, I think it’s amusing enough to be worth a refresh.

Why are you assuming that hurting small children isn’t the object of the exercise? The small children that will be hurt will be disproportionately poor and brown, and therefore unlikely to grow into dutiful wingnuts.

Even better, rabbits have demand ovulation – the sex act stimulates them to ovulate and so as to maximize the probability of pregnancy.

I have seen cats and roosters behave the same way. In this case the rabbit really has no defense against a cat… Cats love attention however. The rabbit learns to attack the cat, but the only way a male rabbit knows is sex.
My cat would tease my rooster, get attacked and pecked, the rooster would be all over him… But the cat did not think of it as abuse, he purred and loved it.

And puh-leeze stay off little bitty airplanes.
newdealfarmgrrrlll @ 285
Yeah. Demand ovulation combined with continuous sexual receptivity is an awfully damned effective breeding strategy. Wild rabbit populations routinely go through a boom-bust cycle as they overbreed leading to a population collapse. When you raise rabbits, you have to keep adult males separated from the females ofr they will continuously “annoy” them, even to the point of breaking their backs. Apparently in the wild the females can get away easier.
SnarKassandra @ 287

Uh, Al, honey, paisley just isn’t a good look for you. Perhaps a switch to a little black dress would set off your coloring a little nicer.

Yes. Something strappy.
Suzanne @ 305
True. Do you remember the old bill cosby routine he did where his wife was in labor and being very upset at his being responsible. The monologue was essentially, “God made you erp. Says so in Genesis. That other thing was just entertainment.”
Any man fool enough to actually say that while his wife was in labor would risk being the first person murdered with ob-gyn equipment, I would suspect.
Suzanne @ 308
Fine. That means I haveta get out the dayam pearls now. See what you’ve done…
I am REALLY going to regret myself in the morning.
althespook @ 301
Did you remember a little lippy? Lipstick is always the finishing touch that just totally makes the outfit.
althespook @ 310
isn’t that from the same show where he talks about how his wife pulled his lips over his head so he would know whether or not childbirth was painful?
wangdangdoodle @ 312
But at least you can’t:
get pregnant at the lake.
be arrested for DWI at the lake.
be photographed in incriminating activities at the lake.
All things considered, it’s a safer place to let yourself go wild than most.
Pearls and clip-ons, Al?
Dr Dick,
So you are telling me that the rhythm method doesn’t work for rabbits? That explains so much. Snatching last cookie off the plate and re-lurks. Thanks, Cassie!

yep. that’s the one. it was my introduction to standup comedy…
Suzanne @ 314
Childbirth is proof that we cannot really remember pain. I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would do that more than once.

Doesn’t really work for humans either. It’s that damned concealed ovulation thingie. Hard to time it right when you don’t know exactly when the moment is “wrong”.

I have looked into the pain aspects of memory, and you will find _all_ of your memories of pain and pain related events selectively dimish over time. You forget the pain.
PTSD is an after-injury symptom. You relive what happened while your brain seeks to re-enforce a non-memory response to the pain. The memories fade as the PTSD heals… But then something can trigger anxiety, often disconnected by memories: similar sounds (tropical birds in Nam vets for instance), or vibrations even (trucks rumbling for earthquake surviors), etc. You get used to it, but this never really goes away.
But the pain itself, and direct memories of intensity… Fade quickly, then you start to forget the time immediately before and after the pain, say the hospital stay… Eventually most women do forgive their lovers.
I wonder if post-partum (spel?) depression is a type of post trauma stress mechanism.
American Citizen, whom do you support?
American troops who’ve put their lives on the line in Iraq for 15 months tell you this war is not working and can’t work.
Politicians and pundits who’ve never served but enjoyed a red-carpet dog-and-pony show speak of hopeful signs that warrant another Friedman of war.
You have no way of knowing who’s telling the truth. So, it comes down to the question of “Whom do you support?”
Redshift @ 184

I like my men evolved … “limp-wristed, feminized, over-intellectualized New Age” … they can hold a real conversation, and are much, much better in bed than the hairy, bible-thumpin’ he-men for jesus who wanna shoot my food and bully the kids around. When did American men start to devolve? When did women get stupid again?
I like my men flat on their backs with their legs up over their heads.

Crittendon is completely disgusting. He’s the kind of person who demeans childcare as a “women’s job,” because he’s a misogynist when in fact caring for children is critically important. But then again, Crittendon is probably not fit to nurture and educate children, and it is an educators’ job, on top of a mom/dad’s job. Good for Neiwert.
