I’ve Moved!
November 20, 2008
So I’m sure that most people have noticed that the site has been offline for a few days. There’s a reason for that, which I will get to shortly. But first, let me just say this:
In fact, I am blogging at a new site I have just finished setting up: kennethhynek.net. A full explanation for the reasons behind the move can be found here
.
That said, this is not the end of Time Immortal. My wife Grace has expressed interest in taking over blogging at this domain, and I am working to make sure that she gets set up here as soon as possible.
Also, my profound apologies for the modification to the site face; the move was not as seamless as I would have hoped, and many of the image files for this theme, and in the gallery, were corrupted during the course of their evacuation from my previous web host’s servers. Until such time as I have repaired them, I’ve put a clean-looking template in place of the previous one.
Update: for the purposes of further traffic shaping, new posts from kennethhynek.net will be excerpted below. Full articles can be read at the new blog.
Palin Derangement still at that crescendo
September 17, 2008
The focus seems to have shifted back to Bristol Palin for a bit, though…as an un-funny comic offers 25 large if Bristol aborts her pregnancy.
But remember, folks: it’s all about “choice,” you know!
Never in history has a woman been under more pressure to keep an unwanted pregnancy than Bristol Palin. She is the teenage daughter of Alaska Governor & Vice-Presidential hopeful Sarah Palin — a conservative, Creationist Christian power-vampire and pro-life huckster who has put Bristol and her un-welcomed1 fetus at the center of a politico-religious crusade to stop her exercising her constitutional right to terminate the pregnancy.
Rather than sit back and impotently bemoan Bristol’s tragic, lonely circumstance, it is time for us — the silent majority — to unite behind this poor, imprisoned woman and save her from both a tyrannical household as well as the horrible nightmare of a forced childbirth.
These are not empty words. I, Doug Stanhope, am offering you, Bristol Palin, the sum of 25,000 dollars so that you can abort your child and move out of that draconian home2. I have also set up a PayPal link so that others around the world can help increase this amount to ease the burden of starting out on your own at such an early age.
Notes:
1) while the pregnancy was obviously unplanned, has Bristol out-and-out said that it is unwelcome? What if it’s welcome? What if she wants to exercise her constitutional right to not terminate the pregnancy?
2) Can she still have the 25,000 dollars, Mr. Stanhope, if in fact she exercises her constitutional right to keep the baby of her own free will? After all, does not a young couple, bound by the mother’s own freely-made choice, deserve that same financial support as they have a go at raising a child?
Or is your charity, Mr. Stanhope, based on forcing Bristol Palin to have an abortion?
And if so: where is your “choice” now?
Update: Welcome, Steynians!
