So, it’s okay for Christian extremists to make lists about where you can find abortion clinic physicians’ homes and all of their personal information while these doctors are being assassinated left and right and clinics, not even, Planned Parenthoods, are being firebombed but we need to hold congressional hearings on Muslims because 19 self-described Muslims (totally rejected from the Islamic world) did something very stupid over a decade ago.
Meanwhile, Homeland Security and the Department of Defense are defunding programs investigating right-wing white male Christian extremists.
We have to take the information in this database and use it to build “defense squads” for each of these abortion providers. We need organization. We need to raise funds, to buy surveillance equipment, bulletproof vests, and hire security if necessary. We need volunteers to provide escort to women using these providers. We have to become better organized and smarter than our foes.
What The Definition Of “Marriage” Is of the Day: Speaking out for the first time since divorcing Newt Gingrich in 1999, the presidential candidate’s second wife Marianne revealed to ABC News’s Brian Ross that Gingrich asked her for an open marriage after coming clean on his six-year affair with then-aide, now-third-wife Callista.
All this was going on while Speaker of the House Gingrich was working to impeach Bill Clinton for lying about his affair with Monica Lewinsky. “At the time, I believed him to be ethical,” said Marianne, who now insists Gingrich does not have the moral character necessary to be President, and wants voters to know what she knows.
Gingrich, who is ahead of Mitt Romney by 6 percentage points in the most recent South Carolina poll, was asked at a campaign event today for assurances about his character.
“I’ve been very open about my life,” Gingrich replied. “I’ve been very open about mistakes that I’ve made, I’ve been very open about the need to go to God.”
The full interview with Marianne Gingrich is set to air tonight at 11:35 PM ET on ABC’s Nightline.
Ew. Fuck you, Gingrich.
I am 100% opposed to SOPA and PIPA, even though I’m one of the artists they were allegedly written to protect. I’ve probably lost a few hundred dollars in my life to what the MPAA and RIAA define as piracy, and that sucks, but that doesn’t come close to how much money I’ve lost from a certain studio’s creative accounting.
The RIAA and MPAA are, again, on the wrong side of history. Attempting to tear apart one of the single greatest communications achievements in human history in a misguided attempt to cling to an outdated business model instead of adapting to the changing world is a fucking crime.
A free and open Internet is as important to me as the bill of rights. I don’t want the government of one country — especially the corporate-controlled United States government — to exert unilateral control over the Internet for any reason, especially not because media corporations want to buy legislation that won’t do anything to actually stop online piracy, but will expand the American police state, and destroy the Internet as we know it.
Please contact your Senators and US Representatives, and tell them to vote NO on SOPA and ProtectIP. The future of the Internet — and the present we take for granted — depend on it.
RIP Society of the Day: Several film-goers in Liverpool demanded a refund after seeing award-winning throwback film The Artist because they were “unaware that The Artist was a silent film.”
Patrons of the Odeon Liverpool One reportedly asked for their money back upon realizing the film contains no spoken dialog and is presented on a smaller screen
The Artist, which just landed 12 BAFA nominations after picking up a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture (Comedy/Musical), pays homage to the silent-era films of the 20s.
A Daily Telegraph source says Odeon Liverpool One ushers are now required to ask paying customers walking into The Artist if they are aware the film is silent.

are you freaking serious? why is it the theater’s fault that people went into a movie knowing absolutely nothing about it?
