NOT Helping....

Dear Pro-life people...

While I disagree with your stance on abortion, I find most of you that I've actually met in person to be somewhat rational individuals.

Unfortunately, it's acts like the murder of Dr. Tiller today that give your political position its face.

Can one of you somehow explain to me how "pro-life" people can justify murder?  Because?  Seriously?  It doesn't help your cause.

A song for anyone who voted for Prop 8...

Thanks for the hate, California

The California Supreme Court, upheld prop 8 today.  At the same time, it also ruled that all the gay couples that wed during the short window it was legal can stay married.

I'm so saddened by this. 

On one hand, there is no legal precedent in this case to overrule the people, and unfortunately the CA constitution is ridiculously easy to amend.  But on the other, I truly believe that our children will look back at us and judge in the same way we judge those states that dragged their feet on interracial marriage.

As someone who is in an interracial marriage, and as someone who identifies (when I have to identify my sexuality at all) as bi, I feel angry and betrayed by the people and the courts of California.  Yes, the person I fell in love with happens to be a man...so everything is hunky dory...go me for conforming to stereotype.  But it just as easily COULD have been a woman...in which case, California says that my love and my relationship would not be as good as those of a straight couple.  There are those bigots who would hate us and hate our daughter as a product of an interracial marriage, but at least they can't do anything to strip my husband of his rights.  If we were gay, that wouldn't be the case in 45 states.

I'm glad the LM is only 6 months old...I don't know how to explain hate.  I don't know how to explain how a group of bigots decided what rights a group of people should have.  I'm just at a loss...and I hope that when the time comes, I'll be able to point to California and say that some people made a bad decision, but they changed their minds.

Time to start the new ballot iniative...the one that will repeal Prop 8...or as it's better known, prop H8

Abortion and public opinion

A recent poll would have me believe that I am now in the minority of Americans in that I'm pro-choice.

I call bullshit.

This post over at 538 does a great job of breaking down what's wrong with the poll from a statistical point of view.

The bottom line is that 80% of all Americans support at least SOME exemptions. 

The tricky areas as always are health of the mother, incest and rape.

I don't think any one who hasn't gone through it themselves can understand how painful the choice to have abortion to save your own life can be.  A specific blogger comes to mind, and when you read her entries about the twin sons whom she had to abort just two weeks before "viability" to save her own life, it puts a story and a face to the procedure of "partial birth abortion" that some Pro-Lifers would have you believe only happens when a woman decides late in her pregnancy that no, she didn't want a baby. 

In the cases of rape or incest, I am horrified that there are people who think that the life of the child is more important the mental health of the woman involved.  Having a daily reminder of a horrific event is not something most of us would be capable of handling. 

Beyond that, being pro-choice doesn't mean that you're pro-abortion.

Yes, I believe that abortion should be available and affordable no matter who you are or where you live.

I believe that a woman has the right to control her fertility and to make the choice to have, or not have, children.

But more importantly I think that we need to create a system so that fewer abortions happen in the first place.  Comprehensive sex education, cheap or free birth control readily available, and a lifting of the veil when it comes to sex and intimacy. 

There is so much rhetoric about when life begins and all of that.

I tend to frame it differently.  The abortion argument isn't over the life of the child, it's about the body of the woman.  Can or should a state be given the power over women's bodies?  If there is no legal abortion, that means that for the nine months of pregnancy, a woman's body is being held hostage by the state. 

Anyone who has read "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood has seen what I believe is a very plausible imagining of how women's rights could be stripped away.  I believe that were abortion to ever be outlawed, it would be the first step down a road that could very well end in Atwood's Totalitarian Theocracy.

To tie this all back to the poll...you can throw hypotheticals at people all day, but the truth of the matter is that when it comes to abortion, you don't REALLY know how you'd react until you, yourself are in that position.  Once you have been, then you have the insight to speak. 

Anyone looking for a husband?

No, not mine.

Sexyhusband and I were innocently driving along in a suburb of Boston when we came across a red jeep.  While that is hardly newsworthy, the website plastered across the back window was eyecatching....  www.marrydave.com

I immediately ordered Sexyhusband to pull up the website on his phone.

Oh dear...

The first thing you're subjected to at this website is a dizzying flash presentation/doorway.  I actually feel seasick looking at it.

Then you're led to the actual website, which looks like something I made back on geocities in the late 90's.  I'm not sure why Dave thought that puke green was an attractive color, but there it is in his banner, just below his header...

"A Guy You May Want to Marry"

Dave....I can call you Dave, right?  You're not inspiring confidence or lust in me with your wishy washy header there.  I "may" want to marry you?  Women like confidence in their men.  If you're going to go balls to the wall and even have a website to find a wife, not to mention that you're plastering your url on the back of a vehicle, then at least have the cojones to drop the "may" and tell us that we want to marry you.

There are two pics.  I'm not going to pick on his looks...he's a nice enough looking older guy.

However...learn to caption your pictures better.  His page editor seems to be unable to let him do anything nice with the pictures or captioning.  It's 3 pictures arranged vertically and captioned in a much larger font than is needed.  Also...why NEW YEAR, and not New Years Eve?  I get the impression that you are just so excited that it's a NEW YEAR by your font and capitalization.

Finally we get to the sales pitch...who is this guy and why do I want to marry him?

Hi ...I was hoping that you'd find me!  ;>)

This is going to hurt, isn't it?  Maybe all of you should go get a bottle of vodka and a shot glass.  Every time we see an exclamation mark or emoticon, take a shot.  Drinking games are always fun, and they make painful things less painful.  Kind of like watching the 08 presidential debates and doing a shot every time McCain addressed the American Public as "My Friends."

I would like to meet a wonderful  woman for a serious relationship & marriage and to love and to cherish and adore forever!  I've been divorced 10 years... love children - even younger ones... and love animals - even cats (LOL!) ...also horses and most other animals! 

New rule--LOL's require a shot, too.

The "even" qualifier there implies that the general public finds young children and cats to be disgusting vermin.  My child may be the exception here, but I am regularly stopped to find out how old she is, to be told how pretty she is, and to have people ignore me and talk to her.  My popularity is directly proportionate to whether I am with her or not (hint...I'm more popular with her than without).  I'll admit that not everyone is a cat person, but is it really that shocking that a man (gasp) likes cats?  Don't only lonely fat chicks and old unmarried women have cats?  The very IDEA that a man likes cats?  I must be dreaming.

I am very YOUNGish & play, think, act, dress, and look (some have said)  like I'm GOING ON 49!  

Dave, honey...telling me that you're YOUNGish isn't actually a turn on.  That means you're an older man with a Peter Pan complex (let's all sing together..."I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up.  Not me!).  While we're on the subject of age; you look like you're GOING ON 49(!)  Why the caps?  How old are you, any way, that going on (GOING ON) 49 is young, anyways?

Almost 5'8", 198 pounds and losing. I Like tennis, co-ed softball, snow skiing, jet skiing & apres skiing... and watching Sunday football! 

Sunday football!  How manly!

I'm firm in some places, not so firm in others...and do a workourt routine 20-30 minutes every morning...but I also have a beer and snacks at night!  Have a few extra pounds that would melt of wth some home cooking and great sex (not necessarily at the same time!LOL! 

Your extra weight would melt off with some home cooking and sex?  Wow...stereotype what you're looking for in a wife much?

I am Jewish but not religious and open to meeting a white, black, asian or hispanic woman and of most main stream religions if she is not practicing or religious at all....and I WOULD CONSIDER RELOCATING (for a while) for the right woman... but I really want to be living where there are palm trees - California preferably or possibly Florida!!

Would you consider a blue skinned woman who practices multiple religions at the same time?  If she lives in the Science Station in Antartica is that a deal breaker?

And how did we get from color to religion to location all in the same goddamned sentence?!

I like most music and love to sing loud withthe music blasting and  the top down!

You're one of those old dudes with a sports car, aren't you? 

Like lots of tv - PBS, NEWS, DISCOVERY, HISTORY, SEINFELD ,THE HOUSEWIVES, and BOSTON LEGAL, 2 1/2 Men,  etc, but usually watch as background entertainment while I'm working or doing other things. Museums, concerts and SOME dancing are also things that I like! 

You know what, Dave?  I'm going to stop questioning your random capitalization and just accept that you're enthusiastic about PBS and THE HOUSEWIVES.  I'm curious...do you mean Desperate Housewives or The Real Housewives of (fill in the blank...Orange County, New York City, or New Jersey)? I've gotta say though, that either way, you're trying too hard again.  Either you do like it, and kudos for being secure enough in your manhood confident enough to admit it, or you're just putting it there to be all "Look at me!  I like shows that GIRLS LIKE!)

Christ, now I'm capitalizing all over the place.  Thanks, Dave.

I don't do drugs; am very clean and healthy. I treat a lady with respect but also want her to be my playmate, am a very casual dresser (jeans - t shirts) but can clean up real good ...and own 3 tux's that I wear with black jersey and "dress" tennis shoes! ha!

Three tuxes that you wear with black jersey and dress tennis shoes?  Be still my beating heart.  How snazzy.

By the way, if you're keeping track, you've done 19 shots by now.  I'll wait while you get another bottle.

I'm debt free, have great credit;  own a small condo in Ft Lauderdale and a flower shop near Boston.... I've made some and lost some - don't have tons of money, but very self supportive!  I don't smoke, but if you do, it's ok.  I can't cook, but will help with the dishes;  can''t fix a thing, but will do windows, and like doing the little things for a woman! Holding hands - even in public, cuddling, kissing, snuggling are all things that I love and miss!

Again with the "even" qualifier.  You "even" are affectionate in public?!  You DAREDEVIL, you!

I like to buy some of the clothes for my woman for "our time" together... I particularly like a woman in jeans and t-shirt or sweats;  I like peasant tops (off the shoulders), I like little black dresses, heels and sexy dress when appropriate.  I don't care for lots of jewelry or lots of make up!  

The way you write "our time" with the quotation marks makes me shudder, and not in the good way.

So let me get this straight....you're an older guy with a Peter Pan complex, self confidence issues and you want me to conform to stereotypical gender roles and wear specific clothes?  I'm seriously in shock that you're divorced.

I Like a Corona, or at other times a vodka martinis, bloody mary, champagne or wine, but never drink to excess. I''m fun, honest, reliable, fun, loyal, faithful, fun,and just a good guy and .... I DON'T NEED VIAGARA! ;)

You're also so fun that you listed it three times? 

Generally, any man who "yells" that he doesn't need viagra is having it refilled regulary and fedexed to his office by express scripts.  Just sayin'.

...and I'd like to find you:

I'm waiting with baited breath!

"I've been searchin' for the daughter of the devil himself and I've been searchin' for an angel in white: I''ve been searchin' for a woman who's a little of both, but she's been nowhere in sight!" (The Eagles..."One of these nights").

Don't buy into the whole Madonna/Whore complex thing do you, Dave?

I suppose it could've been worse.  He could've quoted "Lollipop" by Lil' Wayne ("But man I ain't never seen an ass like hers/That pussy in my mouth had me at a loss for words/I told her to back it up like burp burp/ I make that ass jump like scherz scherz")

 You can be of ANY age if you look young, dress young, act young, feel young & play young and have a young attitude. I''m looking for a pretty face that I can gaze into as we both drift off to sleep after great love making! ...she should be in half way decent shape or working on it as I am .....some extra weight is not a problem if it's somewhat FIRM. 

So what you're saying is that you want a trophy wife.

I'm not EVEN going to touch the "extra weight is not a problem if it's somewhat FIRM"

She''s got to like to do drive trips, (if we lived around California that's real easy), or train or short cruises.

I'm guess he hates flying as he named every type of transportation except that.  Guess you can kiss that Hawaii vacation buh-bye trophy wife.

She should be working at anything that she likes to do for work BUT not a workaholic (or real estate agent). 

The ex was a workaholic real estate agent, wasn't she, Dave?

I've never connected with the type of woman who is dripping with jewelry or has lots of rings on each hand. She should be fun, like to laugh and sing out loud, like the things I've got and be ok with the things that I don't, and she should  be adventurous and not be a prude because I'm very playfullly risque!

She should be a trophy wife, but not a gold digger.  She should should be fun (because he's so fun he listed it THREE TIMES!).  She should be "adventerous" and "not a prude"--you spelled out what you wanted her to wear, why not be specific with the sex acts, Dave?  Seriously, what the fuck does plafullly risque mean?  And is the extra "l" in playfully supposed to be a clue like the extra X in "SEXXXY" movies?

Of course the usual things like honesty & fidelity would bea given..

What's with the random ampersand sign?  It's not like you're above overusing the word "and"...we've seen that already.

I'm Hoping to hear from the woman of my dreams! PLEASE INCLUDE A PHOTO OR 2 OR 3 IF YOU'RE GOING TO RESPOND.  I will answer all.   :>)

Hoping with a capital "H", are you?

Please include a picture so he can decide if you're trophy wife material.  Why not 5 or 6! 

And we close with another emoticon.  Lovely

Dave

You know, just in case you're drunk enough at this point to actually want him.

But Dave isn't done...

ps. I have many more pictures available which I can't seem to figure out yet  how to upload to this site yet..... I invite you to write to me and ask for more pictures or ask anything you dare!

Yeah, we figured out that you're not exactly a web guru back at the blinding flash presentation, honey.

Ask anything I dare....

Okay...

Have you heard of internet dating?!  Match.com?  Exactly how do you think this fugly website is going to help your cause?  Because it's this newfangled invention where there are women actually seeking men.  They don't have to stumble across your JEEP to find you. 

Just a thought.

Reviewing Dave's pitch there, I've got hope you threw in the towel with our little drinking game.  But if you haven't, I am publicly disclaiming responsibility the raging case of alcohol poisoning you have at this point.
