George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina

~E~

Apparently George Tierney, Jr. of South Carolina thinks it's cool and ok to say nasty vulgar things to random women. He tweeted this to Sandra Fluke: When are you going to shut that god damn dick sucker?

He got a bit upset when she retweeted his tweet and, like, the whole world saw what a dick he is. So what did he do? He called her a cunt.  On twitter. 

And THEN he googled himself! He did not like what he found, friends, and went a bit bonkers over the whole thing. It did finally die down and I hope he learned his lesson, but wow - I feel sorry for his wife and all the women he comes across in his life. I adore Sandra Fluke. I did already, but she handled this very well. Kudos to her!!

Lady, you're not crazy

 ~E~

You know, it’s funny, generally when men refer to their exes as “crazy” what I keep hearing is “she had emotions, and I did not like that.”

Men need to just quit with this bullshit. 

Here.

They're everywhere!!!

~E~

Everyone is having babies! They're taking over! At least I finally got to get someone one of those cute baby Star Trek creepers, so there are benefits. :)

It's strange seeing people hugely pregnant, people who I never suspected even wanted kids. (I think it's a rude thing to ask, frankly) But they're so happy about it, and I get to play with babies without having one of my own. Which would be awesome but I'm getting a bit old for that.

Happy Baby Time!

I Guess

I suppose it's time to toss the exboyfriend's crap, if I can find it. It's been two years, he's never asked for it, and he's made it pretty much impossible for me to reach him. I don't think there's much. We'll see.

Where are you?

~E~

Where are the voices of men? Why aren't you sticking up for us? In state after state, and nationally, governments are passing laws to harass women, to take away our rights, to take away important health care and I see my woman friends talking about it. I see women on facebook talking about it. I see my women politicians talking about it, and a very few male politicians talking about it.

From all the men I know, there is utter silence. Do you not care? Is it just women, so no big deal? You're not the one getting a device shoved up your private parts so whatever.

Do you really think they won't come after you next? I will, sadly, be there fighting for your rights. What does it take for men to fight for mine?

Ugh.

~E~

So that's what the flu feels like. I can see why they want older folks to get their vaccine, it would kick their butts. I don't think I've missed that much work in one week before.

Also ugh is the, ah, interesting group of Republican candidates. I can honestly say I have never been so glad that I'm not a Republican voter - who could pull the lever for any of these guys? It's like a big joke being played on us and I keep hoping for the punchline because it just seems way too bizarre to be a naturally occurring field of nominees.

Perhaps at the last minute they'll toss Jeb Bush in and hope he wins?

And what is this crazy talk about making contraception illegal! They keep tossing out stranger and stranger ideas to win over ... someone? With 98%^ of women using contraception at some point in their lives, this seems a particularly egregious platform to endorse. Why do they hate us so much?

I thought things would get so much better after Bush, but the right has really amped up the insanity and honestly it scares me.

Feeling lighter and lighter

~E~

I no longer care, and that feels very good. I've decided that this year, I'm not going to be nice. Nice gets you nowhere. Mean can be fun, sometimes, and I feel like the pressure is off of me.

I'm feeling physically so much better, it's been a rough year and a half. I'm glad I live in this century and in this place so I can get treatment for what ails me.

I found a massage therapist that almost gives me wings. She's amazing, and I can't even express how I feel when I walk out of there. So, so good.

Maybe I'll write about politics next.
