Texas Burns While Republicans Cut the Texas Forest Service's Budget.

GOP Plan to Keep Us Safe: Volcano Monitoring? Liberal Hoax. Tsunami Warning Center? Tax Payers' Money Pit. Nucular Safety? Let the Free Market Decide. Wild Forest Fires? Smokey the Bear's Plot to Defraud Tax Payers.

Pssh. We don't need to worry about the environment. We've got the power of prayer, ya'll. I sometimes wonder why the hell I'm in TX. :/

But if so much of it has already burned, there's nothing left to burn, so we don't need those guys anymore!

sorry, this is OT but UGH.

OT but I'd like to reach through the screen and strangle this news guy Thomas Roberts on MSNBC right now. In a story discussing "powerful men behaving badly," referring to John Ensign, Arnold, and DSK, he was asking this woman who was an expert on something, idk, but he was like, "What about the women who enable him? It takes two to tango!"

REALLY? FUCKING REALLY, DUDE? YOU'RE BLAMING THE WOMEN IN THESE SITUATIONS, BECAUSE "IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO?" At least the woman he was interviewing pointed out that in the case of DSK that we're talking about rape, and he was like, oh good point I was referring to Ensign and Schwarzenegger and again, he's what? Blaming women who were cheated on for their husbands being ratbastards? SHUT UP, ASSHOLE.

That is all.

It always has be some of the woman's fault, duh. Men can't take all the blame. That would just be unfair, and imply they are actually responsible for their actions and could have refrained from doing what they did.

Re: sorry, this is OT but UGH.

[screamingintune]

Of course. I guess also, since it apparently "takes two to tango," we have to blame those women for existing. I mean, if those women weren't around, then they wouldn't have gotten hurt!

Or if they had only done something different! I can't tell you what it is, but I assure you, there is something different they could have done.

[keeperofthekeys]

Should end well.
