and here's her defending herself when everyone calls her an idiot: http://marchtogether.blogspot.com/

I love it when this happens.

Hee-larious. And scary. And one wonders if the writer of the blog somehow is working for the Onion.
You brightened my day, Jill.

I guess the writer was a guy. Whoops.

And, yeah, I didn't think it was real at first either, but if you look at the rest of the website it looks like it has to be. Some of the comments people left are truly awesome.

Makes me angry.

Who are these people to judge what's right or wrong?

Oh my.

oh god, i hope this is real...it just makes it even funnier. and then even when people tell him it's satire, he still doesn't get it! he has to go look satire up and then...and then...he STILL doesn't get it! oh my god!

and that story he tells is so made up bullshit. what person is going to say "yeah, sure, it's okay if someone rapes and murders me. just the way things go." plus, that's kind of creepy...putting up anti-abortion signs and then going to chat up a chick just laying out on a towel and asking what she thinks about it. possibly the weirdest pick up line i've ever heard of.

this is why i can't get angry at some of these yutzes the way i used to. because they're too damned hilarious.

And here we are, busting our asses to make comedy when it's right there in front of our faces.

This is so funny I just shot some stupid kid right in her pigtails.

Jill, you have now given me two tremendous smiles today.

A few weeks back a defend Tom Delay website quoted Stephen Colbert... it was pretty f-u-nn-y

What he didn't know was that he had just been a participant in a candid filming of that Hi-larious improv favorite, "All right, sounds good to me, I'll go along with that!"

In all seriousness, this blog is a great example of the problem with so much political discourse on both sides on every issue- it's easy to make a case against the crazy people, against the illogical folks, against teh ones who want to rant. There's very little serious, well-informed debate that addresses the points of contention in a respectful way, that approaches problems with perspective of solutions and understanding rather than maintaining status and power.

Great idea:

We print out a bunch of invitations to abortion parties. We make them look something like this.

Abortion Party! KAPOW
You're invited to Jill Morris's abortion party.
WHERE: The Hideout Theatre
WHEN: August 5th - 11:00PM til ?
WHY: Cause Jill is mutilating her unborn child, yay!

We send these invitations to a whole heaping lode of Pro-Life organizations.

A bunch of protestors show up at the Hideout at 11PM. A conversation with the box office goes a bit like this:

BOX OFFICE PERSON: Hello crowd of 40 people, are you here for the improv.
PRO-LIFER #1: No, we're here for the abortion party.
BOX OFFICE: I'm not aware of any abortion party, but we do have an improv show starting in 30 minutes.
PRO-LIFER #1: I don't know, it's hard for us to enjoy most things.
BOX OFFICE: How about this, I'll give you a discounted rate of $5 per ticket, that's a great deal.
PRO-LIFER #1: Sure, I guess we'll stick around.

Then we perform Blue Maestro. They'd love it.

That's killing 3 fetuses with one stone, beat that.

only a few people post at 5 am!

is the shower scene pro or anti abortion?
