To those who voted against equal rights for your gay neighbors:
Those who seek to deny human and civil rights to individuals consistently come out on the wrong side of history. One has only to look at the past century to see the overwhelming evidence, as our female and black citizens fought for – and won – their civil rights. Your work against homosexuals will not stop the eventual realization of their rights. You will only hinder the progress.
When we look back on this period of our history, those who fought against gay rights will stand among the racists and the chauvinists. Those fighting for the rights of their gay neighbors will be joining the ranks of the suffragettes and civil rights leaders.
How do you want to be remembered?
ALRIGHT. I’ve made fun of religion more times that my mom is comfortable with. Now it’s atheism’s turn.
Just read an article about atheism, in which the president of the Atheism club claims that atheists are growing in number, but aren’t very “liked” in America.
I’m basically an atheist/agnostic, but I take issue with 5 points:
1. David Silverman, president of American Atheists: “If you don’t have a belief in God, you’re an atheist. It doesn’t matter what you call yourself.”
NOOOOO. I don’t want to be in your group either. (Notice how I said “I” – not “We” I’m not grouping people I don’t know into a category!)
You can’t label anyone who doesn’t believe in God as an “atheist”.
You cant do that! You dont like this hamburger? Great. You’re a vegan. Another vegan guys! Add him to the tally!
2. The number of disbelievers is growing, but they remain America’s least trusted minority.
Well. YEAAAAH. The number is GROWING because you keep FORCING PEOPLE into a group they aren’t in. …And maybe thats why you “remain America’s least trusted minority”
3. Most polls suggest that atheists are among the most disliked groups in the U.S.
I will agree with you there. BUT they don’t dislike us because of the God thing.
In general, we are just a DISLIKABLE GROUP. We’re sarcastic. We have a very acerbic caustic wit that takes some getting used to. We’re highly educated, which gives us superiority complexes. We’re terrible. Trust me. Just TRY to like us. We BARELY like ourselves.
4. Atheists are barely visible in politics
Yeah. Because what would we be doing? Protesting? Protesting our right to not really care?
What do we want?!
…. EHHH? Nothing?
When do we want it?
Now? I don’t know?
5. One study asked participants whether a fictional hit-and-run car driver was more likely to be an atheist or a rapist. A majority chose atheist.
THATS BECAUSE RAPISTS DRIVE VANS.
I guess I’ve gotten a little uppity ever since I realized that I had the right to vote, express myself, get paid equally, do math, etc…
But WTF?! Tosh.O is encouraging men to touch women’s stomachs without their consent and then upload the footage online.

| Woman: | Being an attractive woman, people assume that its just a phase. That eventually you'll realize that you need a man, you know, to do it. But, it gets better. |
| Man #2: | I came from a really small rural town. No one there was even interested it experimenting with it. Some people didn't know what it was. But trust me, it'll get easier. |

BREAKING NEWS: Chefs globally are confirming speculations that the Chef’s Salad is indeed a prank. The self-titled salad (traditionally composed of iceburg lettuce, cubed ham, turkey, cheese, and egg) was not in fact named after any chef, nor was it created by one.
Chefs responsible for this decoy din-din were quoted as saying “We never thought people would believe us.” ”C’mon guys, coursely chopped cold cuts, you think thats the best that we, as a profession, could come up with? It’s barely a salad.”

Several ingesters of this fraudulent fare, said they were left with a *bad taste in their mouth*
Consumers hurt by this herbage hoax are refusing to sugarcoat their feelings, saying that chefs can’t “have their cake and eat it too.” These full of beans chefs are now left to eat humble pie.
For some, the news is a bitter pill to swallow. For others, this reporter included, they stopped popping pills in the late 80s once it was no longer en vogue.
Some questions still remain. For instance: how far can this reporter go with no content, relying on nothing but idioms and puns?
One thing is for sure, for these chowtime chicanery chefs, the only salads they’ll be tossing anytime soon… will be their own.
Guys and gals!
V-day is only a couple days away! Fear not. I gotcha covered!

For when you just dont know what to say:
Whitney Houston’s isolated vocal track on “How Will I Know.”
This is incredible. I almost like it better than the full version. R.I.P. Whitney Houston.
Yesterday, I was checking Twitter for the 719th time, and Comedy Central retweeted Alex Brag’s joke “My asparagus smells weirdly like pee” Its cute and clever. ONLY I’VE HEARD IT A GAGILLION TIMES in the past year, and not at open mics in from the NYC alt crowd.
Asparagus Pee reversal has become the new “What’s the Deal with Airplane food”
I get that we tend to duplicate each others jokes a lot, especially on topical current event humor. But is this the year that asparagus finally became available to every comic in America?
I love love LOVE all of these great comedians, Jay Mohr, Matt Besser, Meghan Amram. But what is going on here? Look:
1. Comedy Website – Funny or Die – Nov. 4, 2010
@funnyorfie Pee makes your asparagus spell weird
2. Rap Artist – Shwayze - November 14, 2010
@shwayze My pee smells like asparagus
EDIT: thats just a normal (unfunny) comment. Uncertain why I included it.
3. Comedian - Jay Mohr - 21 February 2011
@jaymohr37 My asparagus smells like pee
4. Comedian – Matt Besser - 22 April 2011
@MattBesser My asparagus smells like piss
5. Someone with 44 followers, 63 tweets, and atrocious spelling - 16 July 2011
@TerryclothGreen What if my asparagus startsbof smelling like pee?! What then?! #deepquestipns
Please note that his or her next tweet was: “If somebody ate their own butt, would they then poop their butt out of their butt? #infinitebuttpoop”
6. Comedian – Megan Amram - 14 August 2011
@meganamram Pee makes my asparagus smell funny
7. Comedian – Alex Blagg - 31 January 2012 - retweeted by Comedy Central
@alexblagg My asparagus smells weirdly like pee
