so there's a new supreme court nominee

[tommyschoolbruh]

they call him scalito or scalia-lite, making fun of his closeness to antoine scalia. his name is samuel alito and is a radical (by any means) right wing "judicial activist." for all you that never took politics seriously, now really is the time to do so, especially if you're a woman

"a mere 12 weeks"
"up to 4 months"

12 weeks = 3 months, which is just one month short of the awesome four

not siding, just pointing that out because the wording isn't all too convincing

[tommyschoolbruh]

yeah, one month totally isn't a lot of time when it comes to that at all. i mean one month off before the birth and 3 after is totally comparable to one month off before the birth and 2 after.

perhaps the word mere should be taken out. but to anyone that knows newborns, one month is ALOT of time.

i see your point, but it really isn't like omfg that's the almost the same.

yeah, i was hoping you'd get me

plus in the last sentence you used effect instead of affect

BUT HEY! i'm just bored

[tommyschoolbruh]

please explain that rule to me. i always thought effect was used in a physical way and affect is more mental. as in affection of a lover of loving love vs. effects of global warming.

so what is it?

and jt shirts are being made, you should donate a tshirt so that you can then burn it in protest.

Attention!

thanks gibby for this post (and for all of your informative posts as well). there is so much shit going on with bush and his cronies right now, it's near impossible to keep it all straight. in fact, it's easy to forget about what happened yesterday when there's some fucking huge event today (maybe that's how they want it?!) anyway, thank you for keeping us abreast... and yes, people need to sign petitions, they can find some of the many here:
