I hear this place is restricted, Wang, so don't tell 'em you're Jewish, okay?In a post yesterday I accidentally linked an article about Maine's recently defeated gay marriage whatnot, which made no sense, but since I brought it up, I suppose I should say something about it. Also, Mr. Henley finds Renowned Anal-Retentive Crossing Guard and Andrew Sullivan Doppleganger-Clone Rod Dreher opining that Attention Must Be Paid! To Him! Before the fags take over. Which, he admits, they undoubtedly will.
There is really no sense in bemoaning recent setbacks to the ongoing quest for gay marriage, as it is so certain ultimately to succeed. If a bare majority in rural Maine came out to overturn it (while ratifying medical marijuana--stay classy, America!), then the future of its prohibition looks decidedly short. People of my generation and younger simply do not give a shit about faggotry, and if there is a threat to the ultimate extension of gay marriage to the nation as a whole, it is not the Gay, but the Marriage, whose inexorable decline as a social institution we can only cheer and hope to speed along. Indeed, the focus of what now passes for a gay rights movement on the marriage issue is a source of constant consternation to me. How focused we've become on getting into the country club instead burning it to the ground, or, at very least, trashing to pool! I mean, I suppose that in some post-ironic sense it is wonderful that two aging dykes may yet have an opportunity to participate fully in a major proprietary institution of the patriarchy. With free Goldman Sachs stock for all and a unified bourgeois hatred of labor unions, we'll really be getting somewhere.

what about the toe?
As I noted elsewhere, some politicial scientists have come up with years for each state by which they will approve of gay marriage.
I'm with IOZ in opposition to marriage, but because I'm more akratist than anarchist what I mean is destroying marriage as we know it in order to save it.
Forget about the fucking toe!
C'mon my little faggies! All the straights are doing it!!
"Renowned Anal-Retentive Crossing Guard and Andrew Sullivan Doppleganger-Clone Rod Dreher"
ROFLMAO
It's funny. I can look back on a
life of achievement, on challenges
met, competitors bested, obstacles
overcome. I've accomplished more
than most men, and without the use
of my legs. What. . . What makes a
man, Mr. Lebowski?
I've sentenced boys younger than you to the gas chamber. Didn't want to do it... felt I owed it to them.
Ok Fundy, I gotta know, what the fuck is the deal with quoting Lebowski as verse?
apparently you are not a golfer.
Yes to dope, no to queers.
We'll take the niggers and the chinks but not the Irish.
Yeah, a friend with a cleft asshole.
I think marriage isn't something to be destroyed. I mean, kids tend to start acting out once their parents get divorced. Kids of single parents tend to be fucked up. Didn't you guys go to HS?
Marriage may have some drawbacks for the adults, but, sometimes, you DO actually need to think of the children.
I think a more sensible approach would be to find some way to fix marriage. Of course, what about it needs to be fixed and how it should be done is something I've never heard anyone say anything reasonable about.
Fund, it's "Obviously, you're not a golfer"
Get it right or I'm off the fucking team, man.
"Acting out."
yea, kids just need a more palliative narrative.
Is it. . . is it, being prepared to do the right thing? Whatever the price? Isn't that what makes a man?
It's about drawing a line in the sand - across this line you do not
the med marijuana thing is a positive, at least. rod - ha ha, rod - can be encouraged to get his doob on and consider what can and cannot be preserved without stepping on too many toes/dreams/etc.
wtf is with the anti-mary-juana poasts?
listen, faggots: i think you should be able to settle down, and i'm sorry that the voters of maine disagree. but no reason to rain on other peoples parades.
The linked Lady P piece, as is typical, pisses and moans a great deal without ever getting to the fucking point. What is this great unspoken secret truth about the plight of the union that, gosh, if they only had some PR staff, the good citizens of fair Philadelphia would long since have risen up to rectify? Anyone want to help me out and wade through this or this searching for something, anything other than "we want a bigger raise".
Picking? Really? Does any employee in private industry have the privilege of deciding for himself when and where he works, management be damned?

Well, speaking on behalf of management, yes. We do.
choosing for oneself where and when one works sounds like a foreign concept, but fuck, who wouldn't want that? this is a freedom a society like ours simply will not tolerate.
btw, they're gonna kill that poor woman.
The way I've seen it work, the employee (whether entry-level or executive) and her managers negotiate the terms of her employment. Neither party just decides. Freedom, and shit. There are power dynamics, but ultimately either party can unilaterally terminate the agreement. Which is what the union just did, cool.
That's not even what I was bitching about. Why do you link to a Lady P post with no discernible content? If he's going to whinge about us non-union idiots misunderestimating their woeful situation, I would think he could, like, describe said situation.

Yo, what do you think management and the CBU do prior to a strike or lock-out? Are you employed, sir?
Hello. Nein dizbatcher says zere iss problem mit deine kable.
Hey, just leave IOZ be already. He knows he's a second class citizen, and he's comfortable with that. Leave well enough alone.

What do I know about their situation? Much like yourself, I don't have time to carry out a research project just so I can discover their demands. But in the context of ongoing local media coverage, why the hell should I have to?
Don't forget to beat Judge Smails on the way out.

Wow. Take a peek into my mind, go ahead... clear to the other side.
Jess,
The union is a pool of workers- why would management care who exactly gets what shifts on what routes- as long as someone shows up for that shift? Seniority structure gives senior members some choices- it's not like each member decides for himself each day when and where they work.
i like ur website. thanks for this comment posting...
