Additions, and then Reality

THE ABSURD TIMES

Illustration: By the Great Keith Tucker on the Election:  www.whatnowtoons.com

    First, I apologize to those of you who wrote in to point out that I missed the funniest part of the GOP campaign.  Rape.

    So, a few words about Rape.  We have been against rape here at the Absurd Times -- let us make that clear.

    Now, our first encounter with it during the campaign came from the owner of the Chicago Cubs (that is funny in itself) who said that the best birth control is an aspirin, between the woman's knees. 
    Next came the announcement from the Republican member of the House of Representatives' Science Committee.  He embodies the Tea Party's concept of Science.  See, women can not get pregnant from legitimate rape (yes, illegitimate rape, but not illegitimate rape) because their fallopian tubes go spastic and thus prevent conception.  He got this information from a doctor who testified somewhere, but who has since repudiated his own claims.
    But see, that don't matter.  As the Republican from Indiana pointed out, a child from rape is a part of God's plan, or a gift from God -- so we should say thank you.
    Now this is the same group that believes that the earth is 6,000 years old and that the floods, Hurricanes, and disasters recently on the East Coast are God's punishment for homosexuality.
     Today is the UN day to recognize Malilia, the girl in Pakistan shot by the Taliban.  Bad Taliban.  Trouble is, we have our own Taliban when it comes to religious attitudes -- only they are called the Tea party. 

    These right-wing loonies are the subject of Keith's cartoon, above.

    Below, we have articles on Sandy and Occupy Wall Street as well as our idiotic attempts to overthrow the government in Syria.

    Also, the right-wing idiots tried to get Benghazi-gate started (Most of them think of the name as a TV doctor). 

    The head of our CIA quit because he needed to spend more time with his mistress.  Betray-us is the first CIA chief to resign for activities that had no effect on his job.

Respond to this post by replying above this line New post on Occupy Cyberspace - American Autumn Occupy Wall Street Steps Up For Sandy Victims by TooDamnEZ "The sanctuary at the Church of St. Luke and St. Matthew on Clinton Avenue is brimming with donated clothes, children's books and diapers. The church's heavy wooden doors are open and the air inside is cool. Volunteers in wool hats and down jackets flit about, chatting with each other as they assemble care packages with toothbrushes and toothpaste and load cars with cleaning supplies and bottled water to deliver to neighborhoods devastated by Hurricane Sandy. Since Saturday, Occupy Sandy, the grassroots relief effort developed by Occupy Wall Street organizers, through networks such as Inter Occupy, has had a main distribution and volunteer training center in the church. Guided by the same principles as Occupy Wall Street, such as mutual aid and gaining traction through Facebook and Twitter, Occupy Sandy seeks to provide immediate relief to those who need it most. Occupy Sandy volunteers feel they are participating in democracy in action. They didn't ignore the national election, but it wasn't the pervading topic at their outpost here. Jamie Munro, 27, began volunteering with Occupy Sandy as soon as the movement began."* Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss the story of the group previously criticized for lack of organization organizing to help another cause in New York. *Read more from Gabrielle Alfiero/ New York Times: http://fort-greene.thelocal.nytimes.com/2012/11/07/occupy-sandy-offers-aid-to...
