Yes, he actually said “machines”
Knob I missed this in the news, but fortunately Twisty was on the job: the Borg Minister of Japan has referred to women as “birth-giving machines” and called on them to do their best “per head”: “Because the number of birth-giving machines and devices is fixed, all we can ask for is for them to [...]
I dreamed my vagina was 10 feet tall and there were all these strange women coming out of it
This is actually a really pretty version of the traditional Chinese fan dance. The number is called “The Unblemished Lotus.” Georgia O’Keefe had nothing on these guys.

True story: After reading the Salon piece I went to Technorati and searched on ‘Obama’. The very first result was “How can we prevent a black President??” from Stormfront. (And no, [...]
Poll: Should Paul Tergeist be banned?
UPDATE, Thursday, 1/14/07: Paul has won in a landslide. I don’t know how to shut off voting so we might still see some returns from Guam trickle in, but I’m calling the election now. Paul’s in. ***** Old Lady Chloe asks, “Can you ban that idiot?” I certainly can; but should I? I’m nothing if [...]
