  1. These people are certifiably insane. Why must people like this connect everything in their lives with their sexuality or feminism? This is a real sickness. They are fixated and compulsive. They are the last people who need to be anywhere near nuclear weapons or the policies employed to manage them. We are indeed in a big mess.

  3. There is an aspect we should consider. Whenever something weird comes out of Japan, the lament is that it is the result of our nuking them, or that we didn’t nuke them enough. The same could be said of the queers.

  4. @Lil’ Ano — Good to point that out. It occurs to me that in order to know whether we’ve nuked the queers too much or too little we have to nuke them at least once to start with. We need a baseline, right? 🙄

  5. Well a lot of our problems started after the Pacific nuke testing. But my idea was more akin to the Matthew Broderick movie project X where chimps are trained to fly nuke missiles toward the enemy. Why waste a good chimp.

  6. Nukes have poopchutes? What kind of lube? Is it edible? They don’t blow up, they suck? What? The older nukes queer the younger ones and call it education? When scissoring do they have to be careful of the impact? Does the carpet match the drapes? So many questions!
