Have you seen insurance giant AIG's new commercial? The one with AIG employees saying "Thank you, America" for bailing them out a couple of years back? Yeah, well, now AIG is considering suing... the United States, for bailing them out I guess? and for allegedly screwing its shareholders. LOL. I guess what AIG meant to say was "Fuck you, America."

Does Joe Biden know how to work a room, or does Joe Biden know how to work a room?

Who is this old bird? They are flirting up a storm, lol.

 I love Joe Biden.  I think he’s the best VP we’ve had in more than 30 years.  Cheney was scary, Gore was creepy and boring, and Bush was, well, the introduction of Bush. But Joe,  he’s such a cool cat and he seems like such fun to be around.  I love Joe.

Sperm donor fights attempts to force him to pay child support to lesbian coupleA sperm donor is fighting an effort to force him to pay child support for a child conceived through artificial insemination by a lesbian couple.William Marotta told The Topeka Capital-Journal newspaper he’s “a little scared about where this is going to go, primarily for financial reasons.”When the 46-year-old donated sperm to Angela Bauer and Jennifer Schreiner in 2009, Marotta relinquished all parental rights, including financial responsibility to the child. When Bauer and Schreiner filed for state assistance in Kansas this year, the state demanded the donor’s name so it could collect child support for the now 3-year-old girl. (AP Photo/The Topeka Capital Journal, Jeff Davis)

Pay close attention folks.  Neither of the women is suing this man for child support.  The state is.  The women, having gone through a divorce and having a child between them, should have been made to go through a judgment for custody and child support that effected only the two of them.  Instead, because the state doesn’t like the idea of a lesbian couple, they are attempting to involve the donor.   The problem with this is that had this been a heterosexual couple who had sought a donor and artificial insemination due to infertility, the court would not go after the donor, but would have sought child support between the couple.  But because lesbians are involved, now they go after the donor. Homophobic bullshit.

Fox is now talking about how maybe Romney ran too clean and nice of a campaign. They’re saying maybe he should have gone more negative.

I don’t even have the words.

What campaign were they watching?!

About

I'm a Black female progressive liberal attorney. I also happen to be an Army spouse and mother. Here you'll find politics, race, crime, women's issues, LGBTQ issues, a few tidbits about me and sometimes a little pop culture. Pretty much whatever thrills me at that moment.
