GMO

Yes!  It's Attack Of The Genetically Modified Organisms!!11Eleventy.

Japan just decided to reject a shipment of grain from my fair state of Oregon because some GMO grain was found in it.

OH NOOOOOEEEEEEESSSSSSS!

Now, goddamnit!  Every time you turn over a new generation of any organism, it's genetic makeup has been modified.  Almost every single thing we eat has been modified for thousands of years through selective breeding by us and the process continues today.  The fact that we are now able to make changes at the genetic level itself makes no fundamental difference.  The tomatos are not going to sprout legs and attack you.

Most of this business is just exactly that:  Business.  As in for profit.  And if someone can make a tomato with more flavor and a longer shelf life, why the hell not?  I'd personally rather grow my own as I think the very best flavor comes from ones own garden, but I don't have the time or place for that and so I'm stuck with what ever I can buy at Fred G Meyers place.  The notion that eating GMO foods will poison, kill, maim or otherwise zombify you is just so much ignorance based fear mongering.

Now then:  Japan is certainly entitled to do whatever they want regarding food imports, but I humbly suggest they've got a lot bigger things to be concerned about right now with out bothering about a bunch of fucking wheat.  When you've got that radioactive slag heap that was once Fukushima all cleaned up, then you give us a call Japan.

This World Makes Me Bipolar

Sometimes the yumin (human) spirit fills me with awe.

And then something like this comes along and makes me want to pull my own teeth out ala Col. Kurtz.........................

Speechless.  Fucking Gawddamned Speechless.

That is all, young lovers.

Sorry, No Free Ride Ladies.

This one is so very short and sweet.  What we've got here, to channel Strother Martin, is an 18 year old in a consensual relationship with a 14 year old.

Except the law says a 14 year old cannot legally consent.  Period.  No exceptions.

Not even for a couple of young ladies.

This scenario is ripe with jokes, non of which I'm going to stoop to at this time.  I applaud and support the right of anyone anywhere to express themselves sexually, or otherwise, as they see fit.  And as long as no one is getting hurt and they have consented, then where's the problem?

Oh yea, that naughty consent thing again.

The law is clear.  The 14 year old cannot legally consent to the relationship.  The 18 year old cannot skate on this.  And certainly not because of the same sex nature of the relationship.

On the other hand, I wish them both the best of luck.  In about 4 more years.

Take It Away Dana!

Exceptionally well done (as always......wut?) piece from Dana Hunter.  She can actually write whereas all I do is fling poo.  That, and she's way prettier than me.  (Although I've been told I have sensational legs.......)

Every Once In A While

Something comes to my attention that makes me feel good about being a yumin being.  Here's the latest:

 http://yellowdoggrannie.blogspot.com/2013/04/im-ok.html 

The last time I darkened your stoop, gentle reader, was on the occasion of my rant regarding that disgusting situation in Stuebenville.  Who could have foreseen the attrocities that have followed, and so quickly too, on the heels of that level of hubris?  I didn't think it possible.  A gang of hoodlum Rethuglicunt obstructionists in the Senate block any and all progress towards reasonable control of guns in this Sky Daddy forsaken shit hole of a country and two criminally stoopid assholes try to blow up the Boston Marathon, killing 3 and maiming many more.

The Steubenville Stoopidz

No link for you here as it's a waste of time and cyberspace.  Just Google or Bing Steubenville and you'll get an eye full.

In a nutshell, two high school football assholes rape a 16 year old and are convicted of same.  The smoke, dust and fallout from that has been stoopid enough but, alas, it gets better with the recent development that two other idiots from Stoopidville have now been arrested for sending the victim harassing, malicious and threatening tweets.

It just doesn't get any dumber than that. 

This is the level of stoopid that should trigger an automated response that taints the drinking water in Stoopidville such that none of these absolutely clueless young assholes will ever be capable of future generations.  The gene pool is conservative stoopid enough with out the generous contribution from The Steubenville Stoopidz. 

And all of it, every last goddamned bit of it is occurring under the filthy lie that this is a christian nation.  Well now, christians:  Go fuck yourselves.  The rest of us don't need you telling us how to live our godless lives while your children rape each other at drunken high school debacles none of you could be bothered to chaperon because you're just too damned holy and devout.

Shame on you Steubenville.  Shame on you. 

You Know How I Love To Bitch.......

So that when something really sweet comes along it seems all that much sweeter.

Science Rules!!11Eleventy!



Oh shit.  Wait.  There's is also this:   http://www.cnn.com/2013/03/03/opinion/avlon-rodman-korea/index.html?iid=article_sidebar

I know it's a free country (ours I mean) and Dickhead can do whatever he wants, but why oh why didn't someone at the state department dissuade him from this bullshit?  I personally wouldn't let that freakshow sonofabitch be the unofficial ambassador to a scum filled puss bucket.  And BTW--Kim would really appreciate it if The POTUS would ring him up.  Seems he doesn't want a war with us.  Good.  Then let him stop being the belligerent asshole that he is and do a little something on the civil rights front there for his people.  Like, uh, I don't know...............maybe helping them not to starve to death?

Jeebus Fucking Christ.  And Rodman actually thought we were going to buy this little dog and pony show?  What a fuckin' maroon.  If you really want to do something important for the North Koreans there Menace, then convince them to stand the fuck down before someone turns that whole goddamned thing into a sheet of glass.
