2012 Election Thread

[Undermind]

A friend of mine, Derek Hurder, was quoted on CNN about gay marriage being passed in Maine.  Pretty cool stuff!

2016
Corey Booker vs Marco Rubio

Hard to see Booker going from mayor to Dem candidate (especially after being buried at DNC this year), but I'd like to see him challenge Christie in the next NJ governor race.

Rubio will almost certainly be on the ticket as the obvious way to ease the massive demographic headwinds facing the GOP right now (there's already been some grumblings he wasn't given the VP slot this year). The question is will it be as VP or will he be the top of the ticket.

And I almost made it through today without thinking about 2016. Thanks, sls :roll:  :wink:

Pretty proud of my home state today for passing same sex marriage

It's legal in The Netherlands since 2001. Yes, we were the first nation to do so.

Holy shit, this passed? The terrorists really have won.

LA County voters mandate condom use on porn sets

LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles County voters have approved a measure requiring porn performers to wear condoms while filming sex scenes, prompting a pledge by the adult entertainment industry to sue to overturn the measure.

With 100 percent of the county's precincts reporting, Measure B passed 56 percent to 44 percent in Tuesday's election.

The measure requires adult film producers to apply for a permit from the county Department of Public Health to shoot sex scenes. Permit fees will finance periodic inspections of film sets to enforce compliance.

The AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which sponsored the initiative, says the measure will help safeguard the public, as well as porn workers, from sexually transmitted infections.

But the adult film industry, which is largely centered in the San Fernando Valley in suburban Los Angeles, says the requirement is unnecessary since the industry already polices itself by requiring performers to undergo monthly tests for HIV and other infections.

The industry also says porn viewers will not watch sex scenes with condoms, forcing adult film producers to relocate to where they can make movies that will sell.

On Wednesday, the Free Speech Coalition, a trade group representing the adult entertainment industry, said it plans to file a lawsuit to overturn the condom requirement on constitutional grounds.

"We believe in the calm, serious deliberations of the legal system, we will find that Measure B is in fact unconstitutional," Diane Duke, the coalition's executive director, said in a statement. "The adult film industry will not just stand by and let it destroy our business."

In a letter sent to the county Board of Supervisors, the industry also requested that it be involved in discussions as to how the county will implement the requirements. It will also explore moves to neighboring states as soon as possible, the coalition said.

"While the AIDS Healthcare Foundation has tried to portray any move of jobs outside of L.A. County as unrealistic, the hard truth of the matter is that is exactly what this industry plans on doing now," said James Lee, communications director for the No on Government Waste Committee, which opposed the measure.

Michael Weinstein, president of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, said he is not fazed by threats of a lawsuit or of relocation. The issue is one of public health and safety for workers who run a high risk for sexually transmitted illnesses, he said.

The industry argument did not convince voters, he said. "There was a very high degree of awareness about this proposition," he said. "Voters were educated about it."

About 200 companies produce adult films in Los Angeles. A two-year health permit would cost about $11,000, comparable to permits for tattoo and massage parlors, Weinstein said.

"We don't want one more person to get HIV," he said.

The gubmint is taking away our freedoms!!!  Dammit!

One of the truest revelations I have ever had in my life came while I was tripping acid alone in my old apartment.  I was sitting on my couch, and the urge came to want to churn out a few loads in the early morning hours.  I decided that watching a porn would be the best route to accomplish this mission.  I fire up my cable box and pay my $15.99 for an over priced piece of digital ass.  Like a plinko jam, it unfolded too quickly.  I was beginning to be right in the heart of it.  Suddenly, I notice something.  Is that?  Really?  Can it be?  Whilst plowing a girl at a downward angle into a couch, the close up shot reveals a rubber partially covering a Johnson that could double as a white anaconda of death. 

I stop. 

Really?  They are using condoms.   Do you know why males watch porn?  Because it's our projection of all the dirty shit 95% of the male population is unable to do with sluts.  I only wish I could raw dog a woman in the ass, then rail her tainted beave like it's highway construction in the off hours of the morning.  And finish it up by putting it her mouth.  I don't know one male that has seriously hit the trifecta in the same session.  Superfreakie?  Maybe.  I'd believe that.  For the rest of us, porn is the feasible reality of the nasty. 

How are we ever going to have another arching shot of massive jizzism flying at her face like a bomb sailing for Baghdad?  If the money shot precedes a crew of people tossing out sterile wipes and jizz rags.  Color me a non consumer.

You bought cable porn for $15.99?

They (Comcast) have rental shit on-demand.  It was a Bree Olson flick.  If you're ripping on me for buying porn in general, then yeah, that is what I did.

See, I tried to warn you. First they're all "You're not allowed operate heavy machinery while under the influence" and "You can't dump used motor oil into rivers". Before you know it, a goddamned Big Gulp is illegal in NYC and now you can't even watch a decent porno without having to see a dude busting out of his Magnum. Oh the humanity!

First, +k for the story; this thread stayed on topic waaaaay too long.

Second, don't worry about having to give up your porn addiction: if they lose their appeal, I'm sure they'll just pack up shop and take their dirty, cum stained tax dollars and move to the desert somewhere.

And third, did you say a few loads? Jesus, dude.

No worries...  Bree and Charlie Sheen broke up last year...  She'll be back on her back soon enough...

Tension from the ten strip was intense man.  Needed relief.
