We are the Star Wars Generation…

The ones who believed that anything was possible with the Force

Who believed a small band of rebels could bring down a mighty Empire

Who believed that it was never too late for redemption

Who watched a farmboy become the most powerful Jedi in the galaxy

Who watched a princess fall in love with a pirate

… and grew up to share the tale with the children of today.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…

I love this - it’s awesome.

And here is what Leia does, when you force her into a scanty outfit and choke-chain: she takes that chain, and she kills you with it. She doesn’t let her clothing get in her way or limit her more than she can help—she waits for her moment to strike, and then she conquers her would-be conqueror and saves the day.

And I was a little kid, not yet desensitized to violence […] Jabba’s death scene freaked the hell out of me. It wasn’t a clean blaster shot to the chest or a slice from a lightsaber that sent sparks flying or made you turn invisible. There were struggles, and flailing, and twitching limbs. The shots are close-ups, and very dark—it’s vicious, and vengeful, and physical, and very very personal.

So for me, wearing that gold bikini does not mean Here I am, a sexy toy for your amusement and gratification.

To me, that gold bikini says, If you fuck with me, I will end you.

Obi-Wan suddenly comprehended an unexpectedly profound truth.

The man he faced was everything Obi-Wan had devoted his life to destroying: Murderer. Traitor. Fallen Jedi. Lord of the Sith. And here, and now, despite it all…

Obi-Wan still loved him. ~ Revenge of the Sith Novelization

Woman:
Can I have birth control?
Government:
No.
Woman:
I got pregnant because I didn't have birth control and I don't want the fetus. Can I have an abortion?
Government:
No.
Woman:
I gave birth to my child but since I wasn't expecting it, I can't afford daycare. Can I have help paying for it?
Government:
No.
Woman:
Well, why can't I have birth control?
Government:
Because. Sex isn't for recreation.
Woman:
It can help regulate my period and benefit me in other ways.
Government:
Too bad.
Man:
For no reason other than for recreational sex, may I have birth control?
Government:
Do you have a penis?
Man:
YES, YES I DO!!
Government:
WELL HOWDY, VALID CITIZEN. You can buy condoms by the dozens. Here, here's a pack of special condom for "His Pleasure." Oooh, these come in different colours and flavours. Here, try these. They have ribs on them. And this one glows in the dark!! LOL OMG DICK LIGHTSABER!!
Government:
But seriously, you're a man. You can do what ever you want.
Woman:

Government:
Shut up, you sinning, freeloading hussy.

The One with the Guy who Replaces Shovels.

My friend Nicki wrote this - this is why she is awesome. How dare the city council try to shut down a guy who replaces shovel handles! Really - who else is going to fulfill this need? (Ok, I’m being semi-silly and semi-serious. It does seem kind of a random thing; a guy who replaces shovel handles, but at the same time the city council is being ridiculous. This guy isn’t hurting anyone and is a genuinely nice guy! Let him have his workshop and help the neighborhood! :)

In the small semi-rural town in which i live, there is a man. A man who does what no other man can do. A man who replaces shovel handles. This man is Mr White. Every day as I drive home, I pass this man’s home and this sign ^^. I love this sign. Its a landmark in the town. When my best friend…

President of the Day: A brand new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll released today predicts that if the elections were held today, Rick Santorum — the presidential candidate who believes that pregnant rape victims should make the best of it, that free prenatal testing leads to more abortions, and that, contrary to the Constitution, the separation of church and state should not be absolute — would defeat President Obama by three percentage points.
Against Mitt Romney, Obama comes out even at 47% all.
Interestingly, both Obama and Romney are apparently being dragged down by the same thing: Universal health care.
“If they used Mitt Romney’s Massachusetts health care program as a guideline for the Obamacare thing, what’s the difference?” asks 37-year-old Sanford, NC resident Robert Hargrove.
Lynn West, a retired New Hampshire state education official who says the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act has been “fabulous” for her family, has a suggestion for Obama’s campaign on how to strengthen the president’s flagging numbers.
“If I had to fault President Obama or the people that help him put out his message, I think they need to be simpler,” says West. “A lot of times it’s the catch phrases that catch fire, like when he said, ‘Yes we can’ in the 2008 campaign. That’s why the term ‘Obamacare’ has worked — a simple phrase, and they’ve been able to put a negative connotation to it. In fact, they ought to be saying, ‘Obamacare! Let’s rejoice!’”
A silver lining, perhaps: According to the latest poll of battleground states conducted by Politico and George Washington University, Obama’s approval rating has increased by 5 percentage points to 53. Mitt Romney’s approval rating stands at 43, while Rick Santorum is in third place with 42.

Come on, America. Come on.

Something is seriously, disturbingly wrong with approximately 153 415 514 people currently living within the borders of the United States. That number is terrifying! I wouldn’t even care: not my country, not my fight, but these people could potentially gain access to nuclear weapons. :\

This is the kind of thing that makes me me just 0_o. Seriously, WHY???
Ugh.
