As a side note, I just got a spam comment on how I do not post enough videos. This is the fourth video post in a row. Happy, spambot?

Back to my regularly scheduled playing video games for several hours.

MASS EFFECT 2!!!!!!1!!!!1!11!

Also, an economics rap where Keynes totally gets trashed (I hope I am using the slang properly):

Now back to my regularly scheduled video games for several hours.

The dedication slide at the end is the best part. At least it is if you are a giant nerd like me.

A random drag racing aggregate site linked how I hate video game drag racing.

And my appeal for bloggers to cover the Texas gubernatorial campaign got some notice.

In Massachusetts Election News…

…Martha Coakley says devout Catholics should not work in ERs:

And you think ObamaCare is not going to crush religious freedom.

For those a little confused, chemical contraception is a no-no. By tricking the female body into thinking it is constantly pregnant, it messes with God’s design on how the female body is supposed to work and treat one of His gifts, fertility, as a disease. Granted, the “mainline” Protestant denominations gave up that battle line and the Evangelicals are a little muddled in their opposition, but it does not change the fact that chemical contraception is a no-no. The especially egregious chemical contraception would be “the morning after pill” and it’s ilk (also called the abortifacients). By preventing the fertilized egg from implanting into the woman’s uterus, it is effectively the most common form of infanticide.

And here is someone gung-ho about ObamaCare essentially saying that , if you cannot tow the government approved line, you should not bother to be in the health care industry when we take charge.

A note to some of the commenters of the original story: The typical medical procedures we think of as “abortions” do not take place in the ER, but abortifacient contraceptives can be given. Even Planned Parenthood (who would rather you come to them for the typical medical procedure) says so.

Thoughts on the Governor Primary Debate

*Man, that debate was a little too short. An hour for three candidates? Especially when you try and throw so many curve ball formats, that is just not enough time for every candidate to get their message across.

*It’s nice to see that the moderators were equally hostile to all candidates. It’s the joy of the liberal “mainstream” media; since they ultimately want whichever Republican gets the nod to lose, they are more (for lack of a better term) fair than they would be otherwise.

*The zinger directed at Kay Bailey should have been better expected. She knew she was going to be question on her infanticide stance. I can understand why she would want to say her voting record is consistently anti-infanticide and could not utter the words “I support the continuation of Roe v Wade”. Unfortunately, her record is not squeaky clean (click the “votes” tab to see her record), with her vote to endorse the continuation of Roe v. Wade (as highlighted in the debate) and, more recently, her votes supporting embryonic stem cell research. She also ducked out on voting for/against allowing infanticide to be offered on military bases.

*The zinger directed at Debra Medina will probably backfire on the media. Trying to paint Medina as a “gun nut” is more likely to get Republican primary voters to want to support her, not less. And in a state where even the Democrats like playing with guns, being seen as pro-gun is a universal good thing.

*It was pretty ballsy of Kay Bailey to use her question to Debra Medina as a backhanded attack on Governor Goodhair. And attack Medina did.

*I think Medina was the straightest talking candidate there. Both Goodhair and Hutchinson were too “slick”.

*Hey, R.S.! I’ll throw $20 in the tip jar if you come cover this race once the Massachusetts special election is done. I’ll even buy you a cup of coffee if you cut through Denton on the way when I am off work. Need convincing?

• You would get to rub ‘Bama’s win over the Fightin’ Moo Cows in Austin!
• Medina is ya’ll’s kind of crazy. She made a Battle of Goliad ad! Would a RINO pose with a cannon and praise people who fought an imperial government?

• Hey, if Kay Bailey Hutchinson wins (or steps down after the primary as she has promised at one point), Cornyn would be the liberal Senator from Texas! A potential net win for conservatism!
• I’ll pretty sure Philosopher King Chuck Norris will not roundhouse kick you for being a foreigner…

I Have Not Heard From My Press Contact…

…so it is unlikely I’ll be able to liveblog the Governor Primary Debate at the site as I imagined I would.

This means that I will probably be listening to the debate on the radio whilst playing Forza, making notes for an analysis piece to be posted after the debate is over. I do not want to break my streak of liveblogging only inconsequential things if I am going to be sitting alone and listening to it like I’m from the roaring 20′s.

They say we can catch it here. We will see how that works.

Well, I’m off to grab some lunch/dinner/first real meal of the day so that I can be back before the rigmarole gets started. Stay tuned.

‘Cause It Was Stuck In My Head This Mornin’

As if I need a reason to post a Youtube video of a guy lip-syncing a Weird Al song:

Not That I Particularly Care…

…but apparently the sodomites are in an uproar ’cause there was not a sodomite in Avatar. And the future is “transgender“.

A couple of things come to mind. Taking the movie at the intended surface, how can you possibly find a “positive role” for a sodomite in Avatar? Make him a bloodthirsty U.S. Army substitute character? Mayhaps one of those Pandora pillaging miners? Show two male Na’vi fornicating?

If Cameron did put a token sodomite in the movie, they would be in an uproar about that. They’d accuse him of portraying all sodomites as bloodthirsty warmongers or environmental rapists or non-human. The best he could have done was to either make the main character a sodomite (and ruin his chances at the American box office) or invent a sodomite character to ineffectively protest the actions of the “bad guys” and listen to the sodomites whine about being portrayed as milquetoasts.

Secondly, look at their reasons:

“1) To make all people aware that heterosexual arrogance, assumptions or exclusions of alternative sexualities in movies is no longer acceptable. Diversity and tolerance are human rights.

2) To speak out for all gay, bi-sexual, genderless and transgender people who are not represented by any character in Avatar.

3) To educate people about Evolution and humanity’s transition to transgenderism.”

Really? You could not even correct the grammar, eh? Or is “evolution” the deity to the sodomites like Athor, Rational God of Reason is the deity of Atheists?

And how is diversity and tolerance human rights? Human rights “are endowed by their Creator” on an individual basis, not made up as one goes along. An individual cannot be “diverse” in any real sense of the term. Ignoring the mixed ethnicity wrinkle (which, I would argue, makes a new ethnicity, not a combination of old ones), an individual can only be one gender, one creed, one state of health, and, yes, even one sexual preference. And tolerance, by the liberal definition those folks use, means unquestionable acceptance of another person’s behavior. God does not work that way; If He were “tolerant”, there would not have been any reason for Christ to go up on that cross since God would have been cool with sin.

And that third statement is waaaaaaaay off-base. Even assuming evolution can explain macro-population shifts like the one this guy is trying to pin it on, either sodomy as a lifestyle choice will fade out of existence on the human race will. I’m sorry, but whatever positive aspects of your “pro-sodomy gene” conveys upon you, it is more than counter-acted by the fact that you do NOT BREED! Using evolution to argue for your poor life-choice is like saying evolution favors individuals that claim to have a gene that makes them compulsively smash testes to a bloody pulp with a sledgehammer. Whatever personal enjoyment one would get from that exercise is counteracted by them not passing on that gene to the next generation more effectively than those that do not (because either you or your sexual partner are missing the organs one would need to reproduce). Therefore, that gene does not exist. It’s the same thing with sodomy. You can blame society, addiction, masochism, or bad parenting on your poor life-choice, but saying “I was born that way” does not fly.

Europe is a good example of what happens to those populations that start to favor the “pro-sodomy gene”. It is a contributing factor in Europe’s below replacement levels of population growth. The Mohammadean populations are not experiencing population decline partly because they repress those pro-sodomy desires. The threat of stoning is more than sufficient to stop most emotionally unstable people from trying to get two of the same type of genitalia to stimulate each other.

On an off-topic note, this is all pretty funny when they start whining about Avatar’s DVD release will have a deleted bit of heterosexual inter-species erotica (a back on topic note: they are happy with the inclusion of that bit of beastiality, they are just mad that the two critters in question have different genitalia) by posting Youtube videos of Mass Effect’s Liara fornicating with the female version of Shepard. The Asari breed by telepathic transmission of genetic material. I doubt Asari even have ovaries. Let’s see evolution make that happen from scratch. Especially when there is still a perfectly viable way of having children.

Tip of the Hat: One of my Youtube subscriptions commented on a response to a video on the subject (which had the link).
