Santorum's Money Shot

You can't make this shit up. On the heels of the announcement on Friday that former senator Rick "Frothy Mix" Santorum actually won the Iowa caucus, the "come from behind" jokes have been all over the interwebs.

Given that Santorum's supporters have literally begged Dan Savage to take down his site (SpreadingSantorum.com) and Little Ricky's wife has taken to whining to the press about the evil gays bullying her poor husband, who really does love us, even though he compared us to pedophiles and dog rapists, it's understandable that his campaign would be trying their best to fix his little Google problem.

The solution they came up with is called Conservatives Unite Moneybomb. That's right, boys and girls, CUM.

The goal of the site was to raise a cool million over the weekend, which they surpassed by raking in $1.68 million in 72 hours. Not bad. Turns out there's a lot of money in being a lying, hateful, sack of shit.

Tell Congress: Don't Censor the Web!

Thousands of internet sites are going dark today to protest pending legislation know as the Stop Internet Piracy Act (SOPA). Google, Wikipedia, Twitter, Facebook and Yahoo! are leading the charge against the legislation, arguing that the legislation, aimed at combating internet piracy, is too over-reaching and amounts to nothing more than government censorship of the web and would have a crippling effect on e-commerce.

If SOPA becomes law, you could be held criminally liable for everything you share on Facebook, Twitter or post on YouTube if the original content was not created by you. Access to these and other web sites would be blocked if they post content created by others without permission. Services like Paypal would be prohibited from processing payments for those sites as well.

While the issue of online piracy is a real concern, do we really want to create a police state in order to fight it?

Call congress and let your reps know that you oppose internet censorship. (202) 224-3121.

Does Romney Have a "Spreading" Problem?

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but in this case it may just be lame. There's a new web site hoping to do for Mitt Romney what Dan Savage did for Rick Santorum.

The unknown creator(s) of SpreadingRomney.com is/are attempting to redefine the GOP front runner's last name to mean something disgusting in the hope that it will turn up in Google searches. The new definition of Romney is "to defecate in terror."

I first came across the site as a link posted to FaceBook. When I did the Google test myself, the site came up as the #17 search result, which appeared on the second page of the first 10. Not bad considering that it was launched anonymously, without the benefit of Dan Savage's legions of readers at Savage Love. There's a sort of poetic irony to seeing the Rick Santorum ad running in the top banner of Savage's love and sex advice column.

Even though Mitt Romney is a Mormon and that "church" is a co-founder and major source of funding of the hateful anti-gay group, the National Organization for Marriage, I don't recall Mittens using the level of hate speech that Santorum has used. And while I don't see the Romney redefinition campaign going very far, I find it amusing none the less. So, Google your little fingers off and see if you can help the cause.
