Toilet Laws #6 - Bomb Bomb Bomb - Bomb Bomb the Can

EVANSTON – "A small bomb exploded in the women's bathroom at a Target store in Evanston on Wednesday. 

Officials are investigating whether it’s connected to the company’s policy allowing transgender people to use the bathroom of their choice.

Commander Joe Dugan says no one was inside the bathroom when the small explosion happened a little after 4 o'clock. It caused minor damage and no one was injured.

Early indications are that a plastic bottle was used but no projectiles like nails or tacks were inside it. Investigators are gathering evidence including examining store security camera video."          

Exploding a parking lot dumpster is the kind of prank Teens pull to celebrate auspicious occasions. Halloween? Finding a small bag of shrooms? Graduation?

I ask myself, Self:

  • You think these are delinquent Teens at work? 
  • You think these are Christian fundamentalist Teens doing God's work? 
  • You think these are grown men who are "protecting their women and girls?"
  • You think this is a political operative sent by Bryan Fischer?

I mention Bryan Fisher because he seems to find trans women and trans men alluring and dangerous.

I offer an illustration from his BLOG

I am female. I find this guy hot. If this guy exhibited brains as well as daring and fashion sense, I would be on him like pink on a rose. My sexual orientation HERE. 

And just to focus on the irony of it all - I give you the original joke. Ha ha ha, not. And the Music that inspired it all below. Covers of same may be in the comments.

Friend of the Fetus

I just found this song. I had no idea it existed. The things I learn on the Net - just amazing.

Provided to YouTube by Smithsonian Folkways Recordings: I Am a Friend of the Foetus · Carole Rose Livingston and Mark Dann







Friend of the Fetus (Carol Rose Livingstone) 
1.
I am no friend of the fathers and mothers
I am no friend of the sisters and brothers
I am no friend to the weak and distressed
I am no friend to the poor and oppressed. 
Chorus
But I am a friend of the fetus,
A friend of incomparable worth
I am a friend of the fetus,
Right up to the moment of birth. 
2.
Once it's a baby I will not go near it,
I will not feed it and I will not rear it.
When it is crying I won't even hear it
For I have no room in my heart for a human. 
3.
I will not weep for it, I won't lose sleep for it,
I will not care for it, I won't be there for it,
I'll walk away from it, I won't go grey for it
I will not pray for it and I won't pay for it.


Sign of the Month - June 2016 - The Reason Rally

You choose the best sign from a surfeit of riches. I want to go to this rally next year. Got to be a hoot. 

I remain a theist. However, I think atheists have a damn good argument.

I want to give atheists some free advice. It probably does not help to call religious people crazy. Momma said "You get more flies with honey than you do with vinegar."

The first sign is from Reason Rally 2012. I like it so I put it in here anyway.


I am not sure what this sign has to do with reason or religion but it is kool. Kind of.

FEAR

Frank Herbert fans, do not slay me for using the Bene Gesserit litany this way. I mean it with all my heart.
LITANY AGAINST FEAR
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
