Bristol did the wrong thing - Ted Rall

Bristol did the wrong thing - Ted Rall
 Advertisements [?]NEW YORK--You don't need a rich imagination to picture the scene. In the Alaska governor's mansion, a pair of parents and their visibly pregnant teenage daughter sit on a dead bear sprawled across a couch they had to have shipped because there isn't an Ethan Allen in Anchorage. On a second sofa, on the opposite side of a glass coffee table festooned by the exoskeleton of a giant crab, fidget a second set of parents and their son, a.k.a. The Extremely Nervous Boyfriend. Heads of dead animals line the walls.

"Levi, Levi, Levi." The governor pauses, reveling in the others' discomfort. Moments like this are how she earned the sobriquet Barracuda.

She leans in. "You little s---. You knocked up my daughter. Do you know how close your little sexcapade came to screwing up my plan for global domination? Now you're going to do the right thing."

A few days later, Extremely Nervous Boyfriend blinks under the bright lights of a stage in St. Paul, elevated to the even more challenging role of America's Unhappiest 18-Year-Old. I met a guy the night before he was executed. Levi Johnston had the same look in his eyes.

Sarracuda's 17-year-old fry was nearly as miserable. "Bristol Palin made the decision on her own to keep the baby," the McCain-Palin campaign claimed in its press release. Did the daughter of the mother of all anti-choice governors really have a choice? Well...

(snip)

In reality, Bristol is doing the wrong thing. She's having the kid. She's marrying the father. Three lives will likely be destroyed.

I cannot do this justice on my own. One must read Ralls opimion to get the FULL FLAVOR.

 Some of the dummies are onboard with Rall. Others see the pitfalls here

I think we should help them out.

Lets keep this kicked to the top of Yahoo

5. THIS KIND OF SHIT IS KILLING US!!!!
 Abortion should be "mandatory" for pregnant teens? What the ****? What happened to choice?
Do you really think this kind of writing is going to help us?

We really want to lose this election I am now convinced.

Even pro-choice liberals are afraid to speak the truth: teen marriage and parenthood are disasters for everyone concerned. I have serious problems with well-off married couples who decide to terminate their pregnancies for frivolous reasons. Conversely, abortion ought to be mandatory for people under 18. Twenty-five would be better. Teen marriage should be banned

More State Control.  More baby killing.

Good deal, asshole.

I hope this quote follows you around until you slip into your grave to meet God, who will find your desire to kill less than positive.

Ted Rall is such a fine citizen of the USA, I can't understand why they would have scrubbed that intellectual op-ed off of yahoo.

Tookie Williams is looking forward to saying hi to Ted when he departs.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Still there - go to DU and click the link there.  I think it truncated when Claret brought it over.

How Ted Rall draws his cartoons or writes his opinion pieces:

Step 1: Gets a piece of paper
Step 2: Places paper on floor
Step 3: Drops trou
Step 4: Squats over the piece of paper
Step 5: Pinches a loaf onto the paper
Step 6: Smears said loaf around on the paper and all over himself while trying to get sexually aroused
Step 7: Realizes he's impotent
Step 8: Cries
Step 9: Bawls
Step 10: Curses out God
Step 11: Curses out Republicans
Step 12: Blubbers
Step 13: Looks down at piece of crap-smeared paper
Step 14: Determines whether the crap-smeared paper is a cartoon or an opinion piece
Step 15: Signs his name on the crap-smeared paper
Step 16: Submits the crap-smeared paper to his boss
Step 17: Receives oral sex from boss for such an awesome cartoon or opinion piece
Step 18: Again realizes he's impotent
Step 19: Cries
Step 20: Recovers when his boss hands him a big, fat check
Step 21: Tries to convince himself that money is better than sex
Step 22: Cries
Step 23: Rinse and repeat
