It's a conspiracy theory

It's been a month since MJ's death. Now that I'm done mourning, I'm out of my funk and ready to blog again. Ok, it wasn't actually that debilitating for me, but I was indeed upset. Anyway...

How stupid is the Right Wing? That's been a question on people's minds since the dawn of time. Just how stupid are they!? Here are a few examples:

Have you ever heard of the Birthers? I hadn't. There was a full page piece on it in POLITICO today. When I first saw this headline: "GOP Headache: The Birther Issue," I was utterly confused. Who is giving birth? It's nothing like that. It's a growing Republican / Right Wing constituency that truly and utterly believe that Obama is an illegitimate president. Say what you want about the economy and health care (those aren't important issues). The real issue is where he was born. These "Birthers" don't believe Obama was born in the United States despite many a reassurances from the Hawaiian state and Honolulu governments. They are trying to get him out of office this way. Good luck, idiots. You're so ridiculously stupid. These are the people that make me ashamed to be an American because I'm put in the same boat with them.

Am I not an American? I was born in New Mexico which some people believe to be a state in Mexico. I was once asked if I was an international student. Idiots. I've lived in Austria, Holland, and South Korea. Obama was born in Hawaii which to some may seem like a territory of Japan and he has lived in Indonesia. People are just stupid.

These people are serious. They're moving to cosponsor the Birther's Bill. This movement is led by no other idiot than Dr. Orly Taitz (That's right...a doctor).

Stay away from my open heart surgery in 50 years. Oh wait, she'll be dead by then. There's a website called ObamaNotQualified.com. Stupid.

There is a surging rate of unemployment and the health care battle is still in full swing. These idiots are distracting their politicians from doing their actual job. And, if this bill were (by some act of unholiness) it wouldn't apply to Obama anyway. It's too late. Dr Orly, please redirect your energy to updating your hairdo.

I've decided to take a breather and continue this rant on Right Wing Conspiracy Theories another day...

RIP Michael Jackson

The world has lost a tremendous artist, performer, singer, and voice.
Pop has lost its King.

Unbelievable.

Heterosketchy Census Bureau

On second thought, I forgot that I had been wanting to blog about this:

The US Census happens every ten years. Every decade. So, we only have a one in ten years opportunity to try and change the way the Census is taken. It's a very important tool and I'm not advocating to discard it, since that would be way too libertarian. (I've denounced my libertarianism anyway.)

Say you're from Massachusetts. You're a lesbian couple and have recently been married. In 2010, you will rebel and check the appropriate boxes to show that you're a lesbian couple. The Census computers will automatically UNMARRY you. This is inaccurate. Marriage is legal in Massachusetts (I shouldn't have picked a hard one to spell). So, automatically unmarrying a LEGALLY MARRIED COUPLE is misrepresentative. It's more than that. It's bullshit.

Go HERE to learn more and try to change that!

Summer of Insensitivity

Summer is here. Or, global warming is here. We should def have a season called the "Warmer Season." It's warmer than summer and cooler than the sun (barely).

Aside from waking up at 6AM this morning to the craziest lightning/thunder show I have seen since my days in New Mexico, Washington DC is burning hot. I sat on a bench yesterday and nearly lit my ass on fire. Oh, she's in DC again. Here comes another post about Raku. NO! Wrong. Although I did go to Raku last Monday with SB and it was divine.

Started my internship with People for the American Way Foundation. I'm finally working with progressive activists. The atmosphere is so different than when I work at the Medical Clinic reserved solely for the Army.

There's a lot to discuss here and I can't quite decide what I'm going to talk about. There's Sotomayor, there's the health care reform bill. Consequently, there are the Kennedy and Byrd health problems that I could discuss but that would be insensitive.

Ergo...

I've been watching 30 Rock with Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin. Hilarious. I basically LOL'd every five minutes.
I hope that Alec Baldwin (who happens to be on the Board of Directors for PFAW) is actually like that in real life. If not, then I'd be slightly bored. Love it. It makes me forgive the insensitive remark about Filipino Mail-Order Brides that he made a month or so ago. Oh wait, that would make me insensitive. Might I add that he's mentioned Filipino women at least twice in the first season.

Schedule Note: DC Pride is this weekend. If you're here, go. Holler at me and we could have a gay old time.

Hello Kitty Interview

Hello Kitty did an interview on ABC today (formerly a respectable network). She has no mouth. This is ridiculous. You say Hello Kitty and the Puss isn't going to say hi back.



But, I do ask that you check out this video and lose respect for the women in it. Not just the one in the Hello Kitty costume, but the one standing next to her AND the one conducting the interview.

WATCH IT HERE! WATCH IT HERE!

Bittersweet Defeat

Mark this day. It is May 26, 2009. Where were you around 1:30pm (EST)? Where were you when real life citizens of the United States decided that your "life choice" is subpar, or that your very existence is subpar, or that you are a subpar human being?

On November 4, 2008, Californians decided that their neighbors, their hairdressers, their actors, their wedding planners, their caterers, their sons and daughters, their poodles, their flight attendants, musicians, lawyers, doctors, etc were subpar.

Today, the rest of the nation waited for the California Supreme Court's decision on the matter of same-sex marriage and what to do with those same-sex couples that had the foresight to get married when they were given the chance. California always used to be that nice big blue state on the map come election night. It was the one that we could always count on. Elected justices decided the fate of tens of thousands (not including the closeted ones). They decided whether they would stay in their home state, or whether they would even fathom the option of raising children. That's right. Lesbians and gays can raise children to be upstanding citizens unlike yourselves. Until Proposition 8 can be overturned, my dreams of living on the Pacific Ocean just a stone throw away from Sunset Boulevard are to be shelved.

Gays are attacking marriage. Yup, partner, that's exactly what we're doing by fighting to have it. If anything, we are complimenting "Marriage." Marriage is so hot that everyone wants a piece of that fine ass (That may have been a slight attack. My bad.) The only "thing" being attacked here is us.

Governor Schwarzenegger is asking President Obama for some of that bailout money. Hmm. I don't blame him for trying to get a handout of that multi-billion dollar pot. What would solve California's problems however is suddenly allowing tens of thousands of couples to marry. The wedding industry is gargantuan. It's caterers, dresses, venues, alcohol, and licenses. It's registering at Pottery Barn and/or Gucci (I wish). Come on, Governator, the gays would give you a huge sum of our indispensable income. The economy will flourish. Everyone will be happy. Gays won't be out sabotaging heterosexual weddings by botching up the bride's gowns or the catered meals. Watch out. We're coming for ya.

**If you haven't learned anything today, just try to remember that an angry homosexual is a homosexual to be reckoned with.

Never Have I Ever...

"Never have I ever..." had sex in a car. You all can drink up. Was the car moving? Sure you've probably received some action...but would you drive on a high-speed highway and have sex with your lover on your lap? Drink up, you idiot.

In Norway, police chased a car that appeared to be swerving and suspected it to be a case of driving under the influence. Little did they know that the driver was bumping uglies with his girlfriend / wife / partner. The police then continued to videotape the incident "as evidence." Right. Anyway, that's not the point.

This is what social darwinism is all about. Slap me if I'm too harsh, but they should have crashed into the median. These two dumb-asses should not be allowed to reproduce.
