“They Won’t Magically Turn You Into A Lustful Cockmonster”: Chris Kluwe Explains Gay Marriage To The Politician Who Is Offended By An NFL Player Supporting It

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo has spoken out in favor of a Maryland ballot initiative that would legalize gay marriage. Yahoo has published a letter that Maryland state delegate Emmett C. Burns Jr. wrote last week to Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti, urging him to “inhibit such expressions from your employee.” This is Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe’s response to Burns.

Warning: strong language inside.

  1. It’s nice to see football players actually speaking about something intelligently. It’s especially nice that one is from my hometown team (go ravens!)

  2. Awesome! I think he kicked that one right up where the sun don’t shine! :-)
    I am a straight heterosexual – married to the same woman for 38 years, yet when Barney Frank was finally able to marry his significant other, I could only applaud and say loudly “Good for you Barney!”. FWIW, Barney Frank was a Congressperson from Massachusetts for many, many terms, and ably represented ALL of the people in his district. On the other hand, Emmett C. Burns Jr. obviously is not suited for his position of influence and authority.

  3. “fromunda.” New word for me.

Not just on cars…

  1. I’ve had a few phones and several TVs die for me.

  2. I had a car self-immolate for me. It must have been a protesting Buddhist monk…

Obama: ‘Help Us Destroy Jesus And Start A New Age Of Liberal Darkness’

With the savage roar of the heathen Democratic horde rising all around him, President Barack Obama delivered an incendiary speech to close his party’s national convention Thursday night, commanding the ultraprogressive minions in attendance to help him “destroy Jesus and usher in a new age of liberal darkness that shall reign o’er the earth for a thousand years.”

[..]

“The streets shall run red with the blood of forced sodomy, performed daily upon every American man, woman, and child!” the commander-in-chief shouted, froth forming around his mouth as the crowd threw hundreds of aborted fetuses onto the stage. “Die, Christians, die!”

Slamming his fists on the lectern until his hands began to bleed, Obama proceeded to lay out a “three-point plan of sin and lechery” for his second term. If reelected, the president said, he would begin by banning organized religion entirely—starting with Christianity—and burning all churches to the ground, preferably “with their wretched, Jesus-loving congregants still huddled inside like rats.”

  1. And Romney said he was underwhelmed by this speech?

  2. I’d vote for that.

The truth comes out: CEO says ‘stupid’ consumers deserve hefty fees

Finally, an honest CEO.

Ryanair head Michael O’Leary called his customers “idiots” this week. The chief of the deep-discount, “gotcha”-dependent airline might be the first to say it, but he’s hardly the first to think it.

O’Leary was speaking specifically about fliers who fail to print their boarding passes before they arrive at the airport, and are forced to pay Ryanair’s 60-euro fee. The issue came to a head after a mom paid about $380 so her family could get the paperwork to fly home from Spain to Britain. She aired her concerns on Facebook and got hundreds of thousands of “likes.” O’Leary responded to the controversy as many CEOs would after being administered a truth serum.

“We think Mrs. McLeod should pay 60 euros for being so stupid,” he reportedly told The Telegraph before piling on the sarcasm. “She wasn’t able to print her boarding card because, as you know, there are no Internet cafes in Alicante, no hotels where they could print them out for you, and you couldn’t get to a fax machine so some friend at home can print them and fax them to you.”

  1. I take it “delight your customers” is not a priority at Ryanair.

  2. I take it that staying in business is not his concern either. IMO, anyone who flies on Ryanair is an idiot…

  3. “No frills” airline; being nice to people costs money, apparently.

  4. Ryan Air is like a casino: you gamble that you’re going to save money, but only if you can beat the house at its own game.

  5. Ryanair is an amazingly awful company. In Budapest, to save costs, they made passangers STAND for 45 minutes on the tarmac, in the rain, in a cordonned area.

    I simply can’t understand why anyone picks Ryanair…

How Romney Learned The Hard Truth About Promoted Hashtags

Posted on September 7th, 2012 at 15:42 by John Sinteur in category: Indecision 2012

After betting big on Twitter ads, the Romney campaign just saw their first sponsored hashtag go wrong. After promoting #AreYouBetterOff to the top of Twitter’s list of trending hashtags as a criticism of President Obama’s economic policies, a surprising number of tweets came in saying, Yes, they are better off.

But exactly how many tweets were defending President Obama? By our calculations, it’s a Mockery Ratio of nearly 5:1.
