Let Me Get Back To You On That Whole "Equality" Thing.

Two quick notes that will make you pull your hair and scream.

First, via Feministing, there's this asshole. Colorado Representative Larry Liston called pregnant teenagers "sluts":

Liston used the derogatory term during a Republican caucus lunch on health care to express his view that unmarried teen parents are sexually promiscuous and to

... and what if you're frozen in place and can't say anything, much less "no"?

Clearly it's all your fault for not bringing your father, brother, or husband along with you everywhere you go, since they're the only people qualified to speak for you.

Bastard assfucking shitheel rat-raping jerkoff fuckheads.

I dearly want to know if they respond to you. I want to write letters, but I am literally shaking with rage right now. My stomach has turned right the fuck over, and I could vomit.

I've been on the receiving end of a date-rape. I didn't prosecute, and it's too late now. But though I regret it, it likely wouldn't have done any good. I live in a college town in Alabammer, and would have been laughed off as a drunken SLUT had I brought it to the authorities. I've seen how they respond to such accusations, "Well, it's your word against his. Too bad." I might have been taken seriously had he left any marks, but alas, he was too careful for that.

I'm signing off now, because I could rant on this for HOURS.

Sir Fucktard Doug Henry's words don't even seem like words that any sane, non-psychotic person would say.

I wish I could write a coherent response, other than "fuck, this IS a joke, right?"

My husband heard me sputtering, and came over to check. His response?

"Calm down baby."
*me sputtering more*
"Steph, he's so old he smellslike dirt. He ain't gonna matter much longer."

So I calmed myself down by picturing the attendants in the morgue raping him. Did you know that after an autopsy, they drop your brain in the bottom of your torso? I mean, its not that far of a move, since it seems his brain already lives in his ass, but still. Almost makes me wish I had a penis, so I could fuck his ass and his brain at the same time. Ooo, squishy! And of course, I would be responsible with my penis, and triple bag it. Cuz its always the ones that yell the loudest that have the most to hide.

Do you mind if I ask, why do they take your brain out of your head after you die? Does it melt and come out your ears? And how do they get it out of your skull, anyway? Go Egyptian on it and use a nose-pick?

[naamah_darling]

I have no idea WHY they do it, unless it's just a generic check for abnormalities, which is probably the case.

I do know they just saw the top of your skull off to get at it.

This is why I plan on having it in my will that unless there is clear evidence of foul play, I am to be cremated and not autopsied at all.

First off, sorry if my reply is a little wierd, I just got up for work. *groan* I thought you'd like an answer asap tho, so if its confusing, just say so and I'll come back later and try to clear it up.

During a full scale autopsy, they'll remove the brain and most of the of the other organs to do testing on them. They'll just saw the skull open, around the forhead. (I can't quite remember how they cut it to prevent to cut from being visible on the forhead, but I'm sure the info is out there.) They put it back in the torso to keep brain material from leaking onto the pillow.

Oddly enough, I learned this in high school, because I was seriously considering becoming a forensic psychologist, and I thought that I ought to know exactly what happens in the morgue.

"They're sluts... I had no intention of offending anybody."

That is one of the more succinct statements of "I am either a moron or a liar" that I've heard from a politician. And not for lack of competition.
