Nooz you can yooz!

Happy Hump-day, all!

Well, let's get to it.
Nooz you can yooz has no time to lose!

Here's a piece of happy news:
Bernie won Michigan!
W00t!

VOTE FOR BERNIE!!!!

********************************************
Wanna lose some serious sleep?
Google "armageddon lobby."
Did you know that
Dispensationalist Christian Zionists
are arguably the largest bloc of the
Republican party?
Now we're all gonna lose some serious sleep!
********************************************

Republicans are the most tasteless, disgusting, lying hypocrites on this green earth.

Those bastards attacked Democrat Tammy Duckworth for "not standing up for Vets."

Srsly--how low can these snakes slither?

They know full well that Tammy LOST HER LEGS fighting THEIR little war-war in Iraq. Makes it a little hard to stand up at all, but that doesn't stop Tammy for fighting tooth and nail to make our veterans whole after serving their time in the military.

Not only have those bastards never even served, but they have cut veterans' funding every chance they get.

If I believed in hell, I'd hope that there were a special circle, lower and more foul than the rest, for these pieces of human filth.

********************************************
Republicans have defunded and shut down
Planned Parenthood clinics
that DON'T EVEN PERFORM ABORTIONS.
This tells me that they don't want women
to have access to birth control, either,
or STD screenings or treatments,
HIV screenings or treatments,
or cancer screenings or treatments.
What does that tell you?

    Revealed faith is not harmless nonsense--it can be lethally dangerous nonsense.
    Dangerous because it gives people unshakable confidence in their own righteousness.
    Dangerous because it gives them false courage to kill themselves, which automatically removes normal barriers to killing others.
    Dangerous because it teaches enmity to others labeled only by a difference of inherited tradition.
    And dangerous because we have all bought into a weird respect, which uniquely protects religion from normal criticism.
    -- Richard Dawkins
