Pap Smears at Walgreens? Oh Republicans, You're Too Funny!

Sometimes we just want to know the truth, and Stephen Colbert does a damn good job of doing just that.  Last year, Republican Senator John Kyl of Arizona stood before congress and stated that "90 percent" of Planned Parenthood's services were abortions, which is simply not the case.  I already knew that, because of the following chart that was released the morning after Susan G. Komen cut funding to Planned Parenthood.

When Senator Kyl was confronted about the huge lie he said it "was not intended to be a factual statement."  Yeah, that's usually the case with all Republicans. Jesus.  Oh, and btw why not get your pap smears done at your local Walgreens?

Watch as Colbert quickly pounces on him - it's absolutely hilarious. 

No Offense To Your Name, Susan G. Komen, But Your Sister F*cked It All Up!

Most of you may remember my status update from yesterday evening, and rightly so.  I'm pissed.  One, because I've worked in Breast Cancer Research for over 9 years and second, because I was right all along, and I never should have contributed to this fallacy.

Yesterday evening I stated this on my Facebook wall:

"I've always believed that the Susan G. Komen Foundation was nothing but a huge corporation out to get poor people's money and rich companies' contributions. At the same time, with a political agenda. Who knew I was right all along? So much for helping women with breast cancer. Screw you Susan G. Komen. Screw you! The sad part out of all this... you had to use the name of a woman with breast cancer as the name for your corporation." - Peter Flores aka Blade 7184

Well... last night someone hacked into Komen's website and did this:

"Help us run over poor women on our way to the bank"

And rightly so.  I've had an aunt die from breast cancer and have bought countless of "pink" items - do you really thing all that money goes to breast cancer research?  It does not!  But I bought them anyway in support of this foundation.  Not anymore!!!  

I will be looking closer at what I'm purchasing, and will even donate to Planned Parenthood to help women fight this disease.

Hurting women for political purposes is the worst thing you could have done Susan G. Komen, the worst thing.
