George Lucas can go Fuck Himself

"I haven't even told Steven or Harrison this," he said. "But I have an idea to make Shia [LeBeouf] the lead character next time and have Harrison [Ford] come back like Sean Connery did in the last movie. I can see it working out.

Like Star Wars, I cannot say that I am a fan of Indiana Jones. I have seen them all, but they are not movies I go out of my way to see. I will go see the new Indiana movie at some point next week, just like i saw the Star Wars prequels.

But really, who the fuck does Lucas think he is? The only reason I even give a tiny shit about Indiana Jones is Harrison Ford. And there is no one i hate more than LeBeouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuf. No matter what Lucas things LeBeouf != Ford and LeBeouf != Indiana Jones.

No one wanted it [Star Wars: Clone Wars]," he told me. "Every studio rejected it, including Fox, and I'm very loyal to them.

You know why? it sucked on Cartoon Network, and it is going to suck in the theater. The Jig is up Lucas. You are out of goodwill. Take your big ball of money and boring ideas and go home. The sci-fi genre has grown and changed since you helped make it 30 years ago. You keep making the same tired story and the fact that you are a hack becomes more clear.

Emily's List v NARAL: Sexism is Dumb

It is an established scientific fact that women fighting is sexy due to the possibility that the women involved will tear off one another's shirts and make out. Women's Rights groups fighting, however, is not so much sexy as it is confusing and infuriating. So when Emily's List started beating on NARAL over presidential endorsements it was not a fulfillment of mankind's desire for a little BDSM Lesbianism but rather a bountiful menstrual eruption of illogical female dumb.

Here is the argument of Emily's List:
Emily's List endorsed Clinton in January, 2008 and that was fine. NARAL endorsed Obama on May 14, 2008 and that was not fine.

Yeah, I don't understand it either. But let's let Ellen R. Malcolm, president of Emily's List, speak for herself:

"I think it is tremendously disrespectful to Sen. Clinton -- who held up the nomination of a FDA commissioner in order to force approval of Plan B and who spoke so eloquently during the Supreme Court nomination about the importance of protecting Roe vs. Wade -- to not give her the courtesy to finish the final three weeks of the primary process. It certainly must be disconcerting for elected leaders who stand up for reproductive rights and expect the choice community will stand with them."

Couple of things, Ellen R. Malcolm:
1) Why the fuck was it fine for you to endorse Clinton in January but it's not fine for NARAL to endorse Obama in May?

2) NARAL's endorsement does not prevent Clinton from continuing her campaign in the hopes of getting 129.82% of all remaining Super Delegates, 160% of all remaining Pledge Delegates, or 71.68% of all remaining Delegates.

3) I'm pretty sure the "choice community" isn't a hive-minded conglomerate of unthinking bitches, much to your chagrin, but rather some pro-choice women and men support Clinton while others support Obama. Being pro-choice does not mean that one is obligated to support one particular candidate, ever. Being pro-choice means that you support pro-choice candidates.

Unfortunately I think the crux of this problem can be found in the mission statements of each organization:

"EMILY's List members are dedicated to building a progressive America by electing pro-choice Democratic women to office."

"For more than 30 years, NARAL Pro-Choice America has been the nation's leading advocate for privacy and a woman's right to choose."

Oh, that's the problem! Emily's List is sexist. Don't believe me? Check out the press releases of their endorsements:

Emily's List: "I am one of the millions of women who have waited all their lives to see the first woman sworn in as president of the United States — and now we have our best opportunity to see that dream fulfilled."

NARAL: "Today, NARAL Pro-Choice America PAC is proud to endorse Sen. Barack Obama for president. Sen. Obama has been a strong advocate for a woman's right to choose throughout his career in public office. He steadfastly supports and defends a woman's right to make the most personal, private decisions regarding her reproductive health without interference from government or politicians."

NARAL is primarily concerned with a candidate's position on the issue of choice and women's health. Emily's List is primarily concerned with a candidate's gender. And that is why the sexist, delusional, mathematically inept members of Emily's List need to shut the fuck up.

Because you know what, Emily's List? The only reason you're supporting Clinton rather than Obama is that you want a woman to be president. And it's hardly "progressive" to combat sexism with sexism.

You fucking morons.

So, McCain is Out of His Mind

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee made both statements in a speech in which he envisions the state of affairs at the end of his first term if he is elected president:

By January 2013, America has welcomed home most of the servicemen and women who have sacrificed terribly so that America might be secure in her freedom.

Iraq is a functioning democracy, although still suffering from the lingering effects of decades of tyranny and centuries of sectarian tension.

Several years of robust economic growth.

The world food crisis ending, low inflation, and a much improved quality of life not only in our country, but in some of the most impoverished countries around the world.

A Social Security system that is solvent, does not reduce benefits for those nearing retirement and includes individual retirement accounts

I mean, he'd probably do alright in an online fantasy presidency league wherein one plots an agenda and makes shit up to facilitate arriving at one's goals. But, "the servicemen and women who have sacrificed terribly," since necromancy is primarily relegated by reality to D&D and WoW, won't likely be returning home apart from the parcels in which they are shipped. And, &c..

Edwards Endorses Obama

The video will be up once it is available. But what's important is how his speech started:

"What am I doing here? Well...I was promised a jet ski. But I haven't got it yet..."
