Dear Prop 8 opposers - please remember that “do unto others…” should also be practiced and not just preached. So try not to beat up on old ladies while you hold your protests. Phyllis Burgess suddenly becomes the Prop 8 proponents’ poster girl, and it does nobody no good when the right-wing nut job conservatives point to instances like this and that of the lynched Palin effigy in WeHo to illustrate that the gays and those who support them are violent and crude.

Take the high road. Leave the drama at home or at the gym, you queens. Channel your anger and frustrations in grassroots movements to repeal this amendment in 2010.

The San Francisco Chronicle has this to say in its editorial:

This outcome shouldn’t stand. At the same time, those who oppose the ban should draw the line at excesses: curse-filled picket lines at churches, racial-tinged confrontations and personalized boycotts aimed at opponents of same-sex marriage. These actions deny civil rights, invite violence, and ignore the options that may restore same-sex unions. These tactics shouldn’t be tolerated, or allowed to become diversions from the central cause of restoring same-sex unions.

Don’t be asinine. Do unto others. Peace.

Last weekend in South Carolina a man fired 29 rounds off his AK-47 to protect himself from what he thought were robbers at his door.

It turns out there was a 12 year old and his father and a sibling trick or treating. The 12 year old boy died.

There is not one mention I can find about whether or not this gun is owned legally.

I’ve decided that toasted buns make up for mediocre burgers.

And decent burgers become fantastic when served between pieces of lightly toasted and buttered buns.

I am craving a good burger, can you tell?

This McCarthy-in-a-skirt representative thinks that there should be a “penetrating expose” on members of the Congress to find out if any of them hold anti-American views:

Unfuckingbelievable. Who voted this clown into congress? Minnesota, I’m lookin’ atchu!

On the other hand, we should probably be thanking her for sabotaging her own reelection campaign; in the 24 hours after this interview happened more than $400k was raised by her opponent.

My brother is one of the smartest person I know and here he puts the bailout in straight-talk.. talk, setting a perspective that I see but could never put into words so easily understood:

To bailout the banks, the US government is about to print out $700 billion worth of money. Now remember, this $700 billion is backed by no intrinsic value. Not by gold, not by foreign reserves. It is just an addition of $700 billion to the money market out of thin air. Imagine me writing a $700 billion check (when I don’t even have $7) and you and the rest of the world accepting it because you think I’m good for it. Yeap, that’s how it is.

Not for the mighty US of A though.

I hope he doesn’t mind that I stole and posted this for the world to see. If he does…eh. He can come box my ear come wintertime.

So now that business hours are over in California, I’m allowed to tell the world that NIK IS NOW A MARRIED BITCH.

This is, by far, the best Hitchin Homos Watch of Whateverlah.Com announcement ever. Ever. Only sad part is that I couldn’t be there. It’s like the third wedding - maybe even the fourth - that I want to be at but cannot. Really, people.. every single one of you reading this, why can’t you ever schedule your happy day around me, huh?

Which reminds me - if you’re registered in California please vote NO on Prop 8 on your ballot this November. kthxbai.

Oh wait — I got funny bits of conversation to share… cause you know… Nik and I… it’s incredibly easy for us to engage in absurd convos.

Me: (after getting the “we’re getting married” spiel) That’s great!! So, this is kinda short notice, huh? Who’s gonna be there? I mean, as a witness.
Him: Oh yea.. see, I’m still trying to find someone. I didn’t realise you had to have a witness.
Me: Dude. Even Vegas marriages require a witness.. what makes you think–
Him: I thought they provided you with one!
Me: ….. This is awesome. I wonder how many others didn’t know. I should be out there with a sign, “Witness for Hire”. 20 bucks per couple. I’d make a pretty penny.

and

Him: So when are you… I mean, do you have plans to come out?
Me: …. Uhm, what?
Him: Here. Come out HERE to LA.
Me: Well you didn’t specify!! But fine, I’ll come out as not-gay-not-straight-no-bi-not-trans-not-anything during National Coming Out Week.
Him: I think we’re *in* national coming out week.
Me: Oh…

On a popular blog I read, it reported that U.S. debt clock has run out of space and will need to be resized. You can google this piece of news.

Someone commented on that post said, and I paraphrase because I don’t want anyone’s feelings to get hurt: to think that before that dumbass took office we had a surplus….

*FACEPALM*

This is just (further) proof that there are ignorants on both sides. I want to find this person and smack him/her around and scream “there was a BUDGET surplus in the Clinton years and the NATIONAL DEBT around the month Clinton left office was at 5.7 trillion, you idiot! The two are NOT the same thing!”

GURRRGGHHHH!!!

What he said may be erroneous but the anger is not entirely misplaced. 10 trillion (that’s $10,000,000,000,000) is an 80% increase during this administration’s time in the White House — and we’ve got a few more months left.

For your further edification dear well-meaning-but-unclear-of-the-concept-commenter, the budget surplus in Clinton’s era was at 236.2 million dollars in the year 2000. The estimated budget deficit for 2008 is 239.4 million - Source [PDF file]

This video contains offensive language, so, just a forewarning.

I know this is horrible but I couldn’t stop laughing when the woman in the video said “Spain’s our ally…” because for that one micro-moment her knowledge of foreign policy was equal to if not better than the Republican’s VP candidate.

In defense of rednecks (?!) I think that ignorance of this kind exists in an urban city and in all levels of society, so it’s not like you can find stupid people exclusively in America’s backwoods.

Katie Couric asked Palin why she didn’t have a passport until last year. Some have posited perhaps that it indicated a lack of curiosity for the world beyond her immediate surrounding. Palin’s response in that disaster of an interview:

“I’m not one of those who maybe come from a background of, you know, kids who perhaps graduated college and their parents get them a passport and a backpack and say, ‘Go off and travel the world.’ Nyoeuwww [this approximated how she said 'No' -ed]. I worked all my life. In fact, I usually had two jobs all my life, until I had kids. … I was not part of, I guess, that culture.”

In defense of the rest of Americans who do not possess a passport, it doesn’t automatically mean that one is deliberately ignorant about foreign cultures. There are a multitude of reasons why one, no matter how curious, cannot afford to travel abroad. The same scenario applies to anyone from any country. So firstly, the passport question is kinda stupid. (Wait, does this mean I’m defending Palin?)

However, to respond as she did in a defensive fashion as well as implying that only rich kids (there’s that elite put down again) get to explore the world makes me think that one, she clearly lives in some warped reality and two, she has no desire to learn about what goes on out there.

She could have just said she’d to work two jobs to survive and then later her priority was to raise a family and that would’ve been an adequate response. Yet she she started off by sneering at the idea of taking time to travel as a pursuit — oh, sorry, a *culture* — that only spoiled rich folks indulged in. Un-believable.
