"I will also aggressively defend the constitutionality of DOMA in federal and state courts. I will..."

"I will also aggressively defend the constitutionality of DOMA in federal and state courts. I will support sending a federal constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman to the states for ratification. I will also oppose any judicial, bureaucratic, or legislative effort to define marriage in any manner other than as between one man and one woman. I will support all efforts to reform promptly any uneconomic or anti-marriage aspects of welfare and tax policy…I also pledge to uphold the institution of marriage through personal fidelity to my spouse and respect for the marital bonds of others"

Newt Gingrich, adulterer, serial-divorcee and sanctity of marriage spokesperson. (via reallyfoxnews)

Given that man's record, that is one of the most appalling things I've ever read.

thefingerfuckingfemalefury:




Seriously, Liana and Scandal setting Bane up with a date is already ridiculously adorable and cute


And then suddenly: Squee-ing Harley Quinn!


And I am having a cuteness overload :D











I don't know what's hotter, Bane in a tux, or three gorgeous women in naughty super-outfits.



Hmmm.



Hmmmmm.



IT'S A DRAW.

Written by DUANE SWIERCZYNSKI
Art by JESUS SAIZ and JAVIER PINA
Cover by JESUS SAIZ
On sale MARCH 21 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US • RATED T
Go ahead. Skip this issue. You'll only be missing 20 pages of insane, wall-to-wall action as the Birds of Prey finally catch and unmask the elusive mind-controlling villain known as "Choke" – only to discover that he's turned one of their own against them! You'll also be missing Black Canary vs. Ivy! Batgirl vs. Starling! Katana versus…well, that would be spoiling things, wouldn't it? BIRDS OF PREY #7: The comic for people who think there's not enough fighting in comics.



Finally, a decent cover!





Yeah, glad to see Jesus back on the cover!

APE IN A CAPE: Question Of The Day

APE IN A CAPE: Question Of The Day:

girl-in-c-major:



gailsimone:



Some of you may know that I am a genuine card-carrying skeptic, which doesn't mean, as is often said, that I don't believe in anything. What it means is that I don't believe in extraordinary things without evidence. Someone's opinion or anecdotal evidence isn't enough. This is a big problem on the…



I believe that there is always something amazing that man does not know, has not discovered or can not comprehend. So, I think it's possible that things that can be described as paranormal exist.





Okay, but see, I think that's an odd position. There ARE miracles and bizarre things discovered all the time…it's just that they involve the natural world. We've recently seen several "Lazarus species," animals we thought extinct, confirmed as alive in the last few years. A seventeen year old girl invented a new method to fight cancer. We have found new fossils of transitory life forms, there may be parts of Einstein's Theory of Relativity that we will have to update, we may actually be able to clone a wooly mammoth in a matter of a few years, we can grow flesh on a rat…


Why aren't these things capturing the imagination like a monster in a loch or an idiot who goes on tv and says he can talk to dead people using cold reading techniques that have been around for over a century?


Carl Sagan said we live in a Demon-Haunted World. I'm just wondering why the miracles that can't be proven are so much less urgent to most people than the ones that can.

Question Of The Day

Some of you may know that I am a genuine card-carrying skeptic, which doesn't mean, as is often said, that I don't believe in anything. What it means is that I don't believe in extraordinary things without evidence. Someone's opinion or anecdotal evidence isn't enough.  This is a big problem on the internet, where people think yelling or bullying makes a person right. ;)


But it also means keeping an open mind.



So here's my question to you. Do you believe in any 'paranormal' stuff, and if so, what kind? I'm not judging, just curious.


Crop circles, UFOs, reincarnation, esp, phrenology, astrology, telekinetics, ghosts, life after death, mediums, cryptozoology, any of that stuff? Can you specify both what and why, where possible?

 I miss Parademon and Ragdoll together, it was a relationship based on complete misunderstanding.



Also, I love this Secret Six blog!
