nightdog_barksBeautiful weather. Bright sun, not a cloud in the sky, 89 degrees (31.7 degrees Celsius).
Watched a Canadian movie last night -- Passchendaele. It wasn't bad. The romantic sidestory was pretty predictable, but I thought the film did a great job depicting the filth and utter horror of trench warfare. Paul Gross was okay, but I really liked Joe Dinicol as the kid who wants to prove himself a man (cliched, but still good) and Jim Mezon as the Major. The scene where he shames the young, draft-age men at the recruiting event ("Eyes wide open," he says, and smiles a cold, cold smile) was just awesomely done. He was absolutely terrific, and I will look for him again.
Working on the Riververse story and hope to have it up for real in a couple of weeks. :-)
Must run a couple of errands today. Also donated to Planned Parenthood this morning because of this jackass. Pathetic state of affairs is pathetic.

CRAZYDISCREDITED) idea that a woman won't get pregnant if she doesn't have an orgasm. Ergo, a woman being "legitimately" raped would not have an orgasm, and would not get pregnant.No, I am serious. Which of course raises all sorts of other questions about what he doesn't know. Where I am not going to go, because frankly that well is just too deep.

I suspect that it's not so much that he doesn't know, but that he prefers to believe what fits in with his parochial world view, which is exceedingly twisted and exceedingly narrow. And one of the Very Important Things the Republicans need to accomplish is to free all of those poor innocent
whitemen of the burden of potentially being accused of rape by lying sluts. Think of the poor abusedupper and middle classwhitemen! They are the most oppressed and persecuted class ever! (Pardon me, I had to suppress the urge to vomit after writing that, but I have actually seen that precise claim from the more acephalic MRA assholes. It staggers belief.)
