“The [anti-abortion] amendment is also a big win for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, which used its power, especially with conservative Democrats in swing congressional districts, to help force Democratic leaders to permit a vote that most of them oppose.”

Hey ladies. Enjoying your Saturday evening? That’s nice.

See these guys?

Have a real long look. You should get to know them better. They have very special privileges. You pay their taxes. They enjoy all sorts of benefits from the infrastructure which you work to provide, from big things like police and hospitals and the military, to little things like sidewalk maintenance and garbage removal. You subsidize the social safety net which makes their lives possible. It’s a pretty sweet deal. It’s also statistically probable that at least half of the men pictured are either pedophiles or closeted homosexuals. So they’re admittedly not so sympathetic to people-with-vaginas.

Which is odd, considering they and their operatives hold the deed to your lady-parts.

A bipartisan House coalition voted Saturday to prohibit coverage of abortions in a new government-run health care plan that Democrats would establish to compete with private insurers.

And if they would just stay bought, then that would be one thing. But they take your money AND pilot your genitals. Its not like they stay inside the church walls, grateful of your largess. No. Tonight, they had so much raw political power they were able to make a mockery of society that ostensibly separates church and state.

Please remember tonight the next time you meet a person of faith. You didn’t just have your reproductive rights taken away, you paid for it too.

Religion: it gits all up in ya crevices.

This photo represents a heretofore undocumented element of my very being.

We believe the greatest beauty of 500 Pencils is that you don’t receive all of them at once, but over the course of 20 months. It gives you new focus as an artist, working with color families and feeling the precious nature of each pencil. We send 25 pencils a month, crafted to order. As you build to 500, the pencils become your story and experience. It’s about enjoying an unhurried creative process, and the artist - that over time - you become.

Someone needs to get me this.

I also just spent about 15 minutes reading the names of the colors. Loving Baroque (a grey-green blue), Miss Josephine (a muted, lilacy grey pink), and Upsy Daisy (bright yellow).
